Hola

Amigos, how is everyone? I'm not sure about the whole Facebook thing.. I'm an old-fashioned blogger and can't keep up with the technology.

It's going to be a hot one today. I have my nephew, Philip, with us until Wednesday. Testostore galore in the Tringali House! Today they plan on going down to the beach at low tide to dig for clams to use as bait for fishing later today. Tide isn't high until early evening, so they won't be able to swim til much later. I offered a trip to Duxbury beach but got the veto.. so I'm minding my beeswax and will let the boys be boys!

Bill took Philip and Matt out to check the lobster traps last night. He got a GIANT spider crab and and lots of other crabs but only a small lobster which they threw back. Maybe in a couple of days they'll get something good!

Went to my Aunt and Uncles yesterday for a party for my cousin, Michelle, who is a Captain in the Army Reserves. Shes a nurse and has been in Iraq for about 16 months. She was home on leave and goes back today. She'll be coming home for good in October and hopefully won't be deployed again for a couple years. She said it really changes your perspective being over there, and you don't have tolerance for people complaining of stupid things. Note to self: No complaining over stupid things. It was nice seeing all my cousins and Aunts and Uncles... It's hard to look around and see everyone getting older.. Cousin Kathy did a fantastic job running the party (General Dyer) and is the best of cousins! Have a nice Monday everyone!
