Next weekend mom and Roxie went to a friend’s place in NC (which was a great trip, Roxie got to see her horse) so I drove & ferried down to Long Island to see my grandparents. Not terribly exciting, but it was nice to see them. Got to help out a bunch fixing an old lamp (grandmother’s favorite), cleaning up and removing a dead tree. I just hope we can keep the place in the family, since Roxie likes it now, and I know she’d love it when she’s old enough to run around and swim on her own.
The return trip was surreal. I got an 8am ferry, which meant I left before anyone else was awake – plus the ferry was mostly empty. I took a picture of my favorite lighthouse before camera batteries died. Then I sat downstairs and enjoyed the irony of reading some Jack Aubrey while taking a modern ferry. Then drive straight off the ferry and straight into Logan to pick up mom and Roxie, who had literally just stepped out onto the sidewalk a minute before I got there. Amazing timing.
