New Addition

In 1978 we purchased a bright yellow 1972 Corvette. It was a long time dream of mine to have one and Grace and I used it a lot and enjoyed long drives during the "car season". So, life went on and we sold it a few years later. This is the car in our driveway when we lived in Milford.

Turn the clock ahead 30 years and with an urge to start some sort of a new car project, I come across a bright yellow1976 Corvette. What made this car special, other than the color and the same body style as our first one, is that the person selling this car was the original owner and had saved every invoice and paperwork tied to the car. Some would call this a "survivor" - not perfect, nor a multi-thousand dollar restoration - but a very well maintained, original car.

After many hours driving to and from West Palm Florida, we struck and deal and brought the car home this afternoon. Very exciting....

Grace loves being topless!

Amazing that it has been almost 6 months since our last post. Time goes by so quickly....

We just returned from a 7 day 1700 mile adventure on the Harley to visit Pat, Kate and Ted, then out to the mountains of North Carolina to visit my sister Dede and Jackie. Amazing ride and sights we've come to love... even with the rain and the heat!

Thanksmas - 2010

After last years Christmas celebration with Kristen and Josh (and the rest of the clan) up north, we said no more winter vacations. So this year we brought the family down for what is hopefully our first annual "Thanksmas" (thanks Patrick for the appropriate title) celebration...it was decidedly warmer.

What a great visit! Kristen, Josh...and soon to be added member - along with Patrick, Kate, Ted and Deirdre and Jackie shared some good conversation and laughter. So, we share some pics and videos of the short but joyous event.

Coming home from dinner and approaching our house last night, we just missed a downpour. But the exiting storm left behind some amazing clouds and a rainbow in our backyard
