Happy Easter Everyone!
I hope you had a great Easter Weekend. We took a pleasant trip up to Newport Rhode Island for the weekend. Cakky hitched a ride up with us on her way to visit her parents in Barnford, CT. Cakky's Mom made us some delectable pasta salad while we watched a little of the NASA Channel. I also got a chance to check out her needlepoint couch and then crawled my way around the rest of the amazing house overlooking the Long Island Sound. Dad hung out with Mr. Hogan. Mr. Hogan has quite a collection of famous baseball player autographs he collected as a kid. A few that I remember Dad telling me he saw were: Tyrus "Ty" Cobb, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, Mel Ott, Warren Spahn, Jimmie Foxx, Ted Williams, Rogers Hornsby, Honus Wagner and Satchel Paige to name a few. A few were personalized letters to him. It was a enjoyable middle point stop.
When we arrived in Newport we had dinner in town. The Cooke House served us up a nice fest. The only problem was that Dad got food poisoning from the Clam Chowder. It was a rough night for Mom. Between me crying every few hours, since I was not use to my surroundings, and Dad dealing with his food poisoning, she was pretty worn down. But, she held strong the next day by taking me to all the great shops that line Thames Street. She even picked up a few goodies for Dad and me. After Mom brought home some fresh chicken soup and fruit, Dad began to fight off the fever he had for the last 24 hours. We finished the evening by going to the park and checking out the playgrounds swing and slide. Boy it was fun playing while the ocean breeze hit our faces. It got a little cold after a while, so we headed back to Harbour Court to finish off the day.
On Easter we had a nice breakfast with Granddad John and Debs. They are alway such fun to hang out with. After the meal I started to get a little tired and we headed back home to relax to finish off the Easter Weekend.
Enjoy the next coming weeks. Hope to update you again soon.
Peace Out...Massimo McRae
