Blissfully Stated

Wife and I in Compete Thrall
Yep, I missed a day posting to the blog but you'll have to forgive my complete lack of interest in writing when I was surrounded by as much fun as I was for the past two days. It all started on Sunday when I made yet another journey to Terminal A at Logan to find my daughter and granddaughter fresh of a triumphant airplane ride from L.A.  We hurried back to Worcester so my wife would finally stop painting (she knocked off another room while waiting). The Favorite Son and ABFA along with grandpuppy Riggins were also on site when we returned. The ensuing two days and unbelievable joy are better told through photos so I'll just tell the story through the accompanying captions. I think I got most of them in order, if not, deal with it.
