Jake says: "Hi!"

We have some serious computer problems, and I have not been able to post any pictures from our trip to France. Hopefully, John can rebuild our hard drive; and I will soon be on line again. Here are three pictures that I managed to post from my computer at work.

Skiing Easter Weekend....

I was skiing by myself in Vermont this past weekend. This was the best I could do to document skiing on April 7th!!

We were visiting Peter's brother Gordon and his wife Mary....

This is their cat Lucy........

and this is Jasper.

Who can believe that Connie is 60 today??!!??

Carol, David, Peter and I are going to France on Wednesday.....back on March 27th with lots of pictures!

Don and Joanne spent a Sunday afternoon at Nubble Light. Doesn't it look like a beautiful day?!!

John and Matthew's new chicken coop!!!

Norm built it for them, and everybody calls it the "Coop de Ville".

At night, they huddle under a special light to keep warm....

This rooster kept his eye on me and followed me the whole time I was taking pictures......

Linda and Ken are in Florida...

They trailered their new boat to Ft.Meyer's Beach where they will stay the month of March. Check out this sunset out their back door! In April and May, they are motoring up the inland waterways back to Connecticut. To follow them on their journey, here is their blog site: www.lindaandken.blogspot.com

We went to Washington D.C. for a few days........

The Washington Monument........


















The Holocaust Museum was very sobering.......













On vacation, Peter always has a map in his hand.




















The Capitol Building.....












We always think about Bubba when we see lion statues..........

The back side of the White House...

The ceilings of the Washington Metro......

Peter can always find something French where ever he goes.........

Peter opened his fortune cookie, and this is what he read......how true after spending three days in art museums.......

My bird feeder was very busy this morning..........

Linda, Ken and I went for a walk on the bog behind their house......it was such a beautiful day!

That's their house in the background.

Hortense says: "Good to the last crumb!"

We had some surprise visitors this weekend.......

Frances's flight to Portland, Maine from New York got delayed.... So she came up to CT and Pat came down from Rockport for an impromptu day together.

......and Bruce brought Sophie over to meet us........

This is how Hortense spends her day and gets her exercise.........

She moves around between the living room radiator...........

the rocking chair in the den...
















and the radiator in the kitchen.

In all the years I have had a bird feeder outside my kitchen window, I have never seen a crow come to dine!

It's too cold for Jake outside......so if he can't sleep in the dirt outside, he finds the next best thing inside!
