Long time no write.
I guess I got all wrapped up with Mom and Dad visiting up here in Western New York.
After a glorious stay at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island (in the Somewhere in Time suite!) they settled for the bedroom of 291 Richmond Ave in Buffalo. It was hot when I got there after work and I did my best to open all the windows and start all the fans. The place would not cool down fast enough.
Fortunately, in the early evening a front knocked the temp down about five degrees and brought a cooling rain.
After discovering our clothes washer was no longer capable of holding water in the tank, we visited the Anchor Bar for a bucket of Buffalo Wings. Anchor Bar, of course, is the originator of the Buffalo Wing.
The next morning we drove around the city and hit a few key landmarks like HSBC Arena, the Downtown and Premier Liquor.
We arrived in Lakewood around 4. The Saunders, C&D, Alice and the Boys were already there. It was great to see C&D again. I haven't seen them since September, I guess.
Polly's birthday celebration lasted a couple days. Friday was the first night. Tons of wine, lettuce from the garden and ribs. She got tons of Eddie Bauer stuff as well as some generous checks...nice, since we intend on getting a new washer soon.
Grady and Owen loved the card for Polly my parents gave. It made noise of a Champaign bottle opening, two glasses filling and toasting. I thought the battery would run out before they got enough, but I was wrong. That's quality.
Monday I worked, but Polly, Charles, Diane, Alice, the boys and the Saunders came to Chautauqua to hear Al Gore perform his lecture about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.
Chautauqua was packed. At 10:00, people at the front gate were told they could get a ticket to get into the institution, but there were no seats left at the 5,000-person amphitheater. As the veranda is right next to the Amp, we didn't need to leave the porch to hear the speech, which was very similar, if not the same, to the movie.
I bought Polly his book by the same name and had it autographed by Al.
