TRAVEL

So, now I'm getting ready to go back to CT for one night before heading off w/ K to look at colleges. I really can't believe that my baby is old enough to be looking at colleges. When she was born it seemed like such a long time off. I'm feeling very aprehensive about going home again. It was tough enough last week to go home knowing that DAD wasn't there anymore & he never would be again...now it's just strange. T & M are looking forward to spending a week w/ Mom. They'll go to Mystic for a day. K & I should be back in CT late wednesday & then head out to look at Stonehill & Providence the next day. I'm hoping that B&D can drive E 1/2 way to Boston so I don't have to drive all the way back to NH to pick her up for EGS' christening. At least we'll all be together again for a happy occasion.

We hiked the Great Hill Fire Tower today w/ J & J & M. She loves M to no end. It was so cute the way she calls his name while they're together. As usual the view from the tower were spectacular. I think they all enjoyed the hike. It wasn't too strenous, & we were back down by 12pm.

GONE-GONE-GONE

My father passed away last night at 820pm from a massive heart-attack. He died in front of mom. John had to deal w/ calling all of us last night. Everyone of us will arrive sometime tomorrow. Matt'll bring the kids down on Tuesday. Still can't believe he's gone, he was only 64 & he was healthy. I just am in shock.
