Here we are

Here we are at the start of a new week. I have become very spoiled over the past 3 weeks due to several days off for each week, for Jewish Holidays, and then yesterday for Columbus day. We had a very busy weekend. On Saturday we joined my 2 sisters out at Montuak for the day. Each year they go with their families for the Columbus day weekend and stay there. But if you read my 7 random things below, you will note number one and hence the reason that I can not stay at the motels that they have out in Montauk. But we always pick a day to go out and spend it with all of them. This year we finally made it to the Clam Chowder festival. It was delicious. Several restaurants make big vats of chowder and you buy a mug and get tickets and then you can sample a few different types. MMMM MMMMM good!!! Then we pick a restaurant for dinner. This year we ate at a different one than the last few years. It was a family style restaurant, and the waitress told us to order 4 mains and 2 apps and that would feed 9 people (3 of which were kids). Obviously, she has never been to my house to see how much we all can eat including the kids.... however the food was decent.
Then we went to a fireworks show on the beach. That was really great. The show lasted for about 20 minutes... beautiful display. The night was not that cold luckily, since it was on the beach. It reminded me of my HITHER HILLS days, when I was a teenager.. but that is a story for another time. Then we went to our usual ice cream spot, which was mobbed because it is the only ice cream spot in the area. I actually broke down and had a cup of my favorite chocolate peanut butter. Hmmm , now I am realizing that there is a theme here.... FOOD. No seriously we always love to go out there for the day and spend time with each other. This was the first year without Kyle, and needless to say he was not happy that we didnt include him. He doesnt realize that we have a life while he is in college

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera. I tried to take pictures on my iphone, but since I am a terrible picture taker anyway they didnt comeout good. Maybe if one of my sister's reads this, they can email me some picts to put on here.

Of course Sunday was consummed with Coleton's football game. They played an awesome game. They worked as a team, and they played their hearts out.


So now we are on Tuesday, and I am really hoping that this will be the week. We are still number 3...
