Home again...

It is so weird being back home. This town has really slid downhill since we were kids. I feel like I'm in West Virginia or something. Today we went to Lowes to get some paint to do the cupboards (my parents are in a big home renovation phase...blows my mind) and there were literally some people in a Cadillac yelling obscenities out the window at some woman screaming obscenities back. It involved things like telling her she was a "f*&king dirtbag" who should "be living in Montrose" (whatever THAT means). It was like a 3 ring circus. The cops showed up & everything. I was astounded. That aside, I have quite the busy schedule this week that includes:

Monday: shopping & lunch with RMV; dinner with Mom & Jean Ross
Tuesday: Dinner with the McFadden's (family I used to babysit for - the girls are growing up so FAST...I feel old)
Wednesday: Trip to Seneca Falls with Mom & Dad, winery tour, dinner with Aunt Patti & Uncle Ralph in Syracuse
Thursday: Dinner with the Engelhards
Friday: Bonfire with S'mores (we used to do this right before school started each year, Dad thought it would be cool to do it again)
Saturday: Um...leave for Edinburgh

Crazy how the week has filled up already. It blows my mind!! Before I know it, I'll be on my way to Europe. I'm really looking forward to it. Although today we had lunch at Friendly's and I was a bit appalled at the conditions of the bathroom - and had to remind myself that I might be visiting a LOT of appalling bathrooms this year. We'll see.
