Since we knew yesterday's festivities would tire us out (we're in our fifties, for pete's sake :-), Bob took the day off and I didn't do my Monday consulting. We are spending an extra day in Samsonville. A truckload of gravel was just delivered to repair our driveway. It was first damaged a month ago during the hail storm, totally destroyed by Irene and then further eroded by Lee. So it is now almost impassable (4WD will make it, but no other vehicles do). My father is spreading it around with his backhoe. Later this afternoon I going with my mother to the shelter so she can fill out paperwork to adopt a dog. Heidi died in early May, I am not sure how she managed to wait this long but now she is very eager to bring home a new friend.
