Relaxing after a Hard Day's Night

Evie Loving It at the Lake

Up at 6:30 to the sounds of dogs eating, prancing around upstairs, excited as usual to be up and out. Emmie slept on the floor in our room last night, at least for awhile.  We are off to Darien today, about a five or six  hour ride I think, and we should arrive around 4:00 if we don’t hit a lot of traffic in Hartford. 

A lazy day yesterday, except for Trout who put down some carpeting on the stairs.  We went off to the Noman Coffee Shop in the small town of Norwalk, where they shop for groceries.  We also dropped Trout’s boat off at the Marina.  We had a great sandwich there, good coffee and a reliable wifi as the wifi here in Trout’s house is the next door neighbors and it is not very reliable. 

We then relaxed all day, a beautiful day outside, doing little .  Trout and I did hit the hot tub after the carpeting, quite nice really, outside, the view of the lake and sun setting.  Then, for dinner, we went in to Auburn, about 45 minutes away, where we ate at Pat’s Pizza, a great place right on the river. 

We came home, watched TV and were in bed by about 10:00, a  great day, great weekend.  We already made our RESERVATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR!

We left the Armontrout's about 8:30, hit the NH liquor store about 9:30, bought 250 bucks worth of wine and booze, saving over a 100 bucks!  O, yea.  We then left for Darien, arriving about 2:30, about a six hour drive, even quicker if we had not stopped.  

We just got back from taking Marisa to soccer, Mitch to physical therapy, and now it's time to have some Saint Andre and sip some wine.  Tyler doesn't get home till 7:00, so we will pick him up then, eat around 7:15.
