I spent the day with my daughter Grace and her family. My grandson, Liam and I went to Walmart. He is very bright and energetic eight-year-old. He has a vocabulary beyond his years; which he is not afraid to use. He guided me through Walmart and made excellent suggestions about my purchases. He and picked out a birthday card and gift for his mother. After accomplishing our mission we reward ourselves at Dunkin Donuts.
Grace’s in-laws, Ernie and Donna Dulac, graciously hosted a 4th of July celebration. They have a beautiful home in the forests of Maine. The picture is looking down their drive-way. Although it was in the high 50s and raining Ernie managed to BBQ hot dogs and hamburgers. The Dulac extended family arrived throughout the afternoon providing a feast of side dishes. The celebration was only marred by Grace and I verbally browbeating her husband over the issue of which is the best French fry. The crux of the disagreement was the utility of the crinkle-cut fry. We argued, rather forcefully, that for the purposes of purchasing, storing and preparing in the home, the crinkle-cut fry is without peer.
Tomorrow we have a Devil’s Breakfast planned the Dulac’s. And, then an early dinner with other extended family.
