In Darien, With the Albarrans, Lettie, and Three Dogs

Marisa in the Morning

Marisa in the Evening

A busy morning as we are all up, sitting around the TV, some on Ipads, others on computers, trying to figure out the day.  Everyone went to the Mission Impossible movie last night except for Marisa, Beth and me.  Beth wasn't feeling well, went to bed early, so Marisa and I stayed up,watched a movie about a Dolphin who loses it's tail, then Storage Wars, before she went off to bed.  Everyone came back around 10:00, most liked the movie though it was long, then off to bed, exhausted after our drive.  Rami's sister Lettie is her for a few days, with her two dogs, Bella and Linus.  She lives in the city and  brings them out to CT on the train.

The drive yesterday was easy, much shorter than I thought, as it took us just over six hours, from Bristow to Darien, just as Drew thought. We had little traffic, even when we got near NYC, and only one toll, five bucks to cross the Tappan Zee.  Last year, when we took 95 and the Garden State Express Way, we paid over 30 dollars in tolls and it wasn't any shorter.

Today looks cold(in the low 30's but partly sunny, so we can hopefully do some things outside, like go to the ocean with the kids and dogs, or for a nice long walk, or jump rope with Marisa.  I know we will have to hit the various stores, perhaps Stew Leonard's in the next few days, perhaps Costco for our usual shopping fix.  The day is obviously wide open.
