Grandparents

Warning you now I took very few pics last week.  Last Sunday, I actually went to the gym and took a class at 9:30 rather than sleeping in.  I was proud of myself even though I was sore the rest of the day.  
It was a lazy day.  
Ariel was so bored she bedazzled.  
Our remote will never be the same.
The grandparents came over for dinner.  
We got ribs from the Churchville Inn.
The boys were their silly selves.  

It's always nice when we get to hang together.

Jamming with Jordan

It's Sunday night and we are watching Seattle beat New England in the Super Bowl.  Last Saturday, it was cold when we woke up!
Noah had soccer.

We came back and the kids practiced their instruments.  
Ariel worked on her Legos.  
We went to see Gwen play basketball.  
Go Gwen!
Mark coached her team.  

Noah took a shot.  
Eli made a bunch of Stranger Things pillows.  
That night we went with Ali and Todd to Blue Point Grill.  
Then we went to the Green Parrot to meet Natalie and Jason to see Jordan play guitar.  
He was great as usual.


We were there pretty late.  
We weren't the old ones freezing!

Frozen Margate

Last Thursday, I woke up in a very cold Atlantic City.  
I checked out and saw a robot cleaning the floors on the way out.  
I drove to Margate and had breakfast at Gilchrist.  
 Then I walked over to the beach to check it out.  
It was pretty but frozen.


Then I went to the house.  The city did not do a great job plowing.  Only a single lane down the roads.  I had to park ni the middle of the street.  I slipped and slided on the ice.  
Don't usually see this place like this.  
Lots of snow out back.  I picked up Hot Bagels then headed home.  
Later that night, Ariel went on her first school ski trip.  This was the only pic we got.  
We tracked her on the slopes.  She did well and had a really good time.  
I picked her up at 10:30.  It was chaos.  There were like 300 kids on the trip so so many cars.  
Last Friday was crazy cold.  
Demy had some yogurt for breakfast.  
Ariel didn't go to school.  She didn't feel well.  Sore from skiing and other stuff.  She was well enough to bedazzle things.  
Cece came over later.  
Have a great weekend!  Stay warm!

Back and Forth

It's Wednesday night.  We just had two days in a row over freezing!  The snow is still here but it looks a little smaller.  Speaking of snow, this was my view of Atlantic City early last Wednesday at 6:30 or so in the morning.  
I drove home.  They are taking down the toll booths on the Atlantic City Expressway.  
I went to the funeral of my parent's dear friend Rhona.  She was aunt Rhona to my sister and I.  We spent so much time with them when we were growing up so we have great memories.  
I drove back to Atlantic City.  These cookies mean it was time for our party.  
That's some piece of meat.  
Party time!
Happy 70th birthday Ricky!
I get to see Kevin from Chicago a couple of times a year.  
Dav emet me back at the Borgata and we had a fun night!
