Feb 18, 2017 Dover DE

Welcome back to the blog.

Yesterday, (17th) we left home and snowbanks, but not before clearing out the driveway with a tractor, and then shoveling off the garage roof.  The walkway was pretty well taken care of, thanks to 2 grandchildren...and a snow day that afforded them the time to get it done.  In Newport on Wednesday night into Thursday we only got a dusting for what was supposed to be 8-12 inches.
We left with clear skies and spent the night in Danvers, MA visiting Tom's sister.  As always it is great to spend time with the oldest and wisest sibling.  We were surprised as there was no unfinished puzzle laying about on the table.

Today we drove 400 miles to Dover AFB in Delaware.  The skies were sunny and the snow finally diminished to nothing after we got on the New Jersey turnpike.  We did only make one error and that was deciding to go through NYC on a nice day.  So wasn't everyone else.  We did set a new worlds record though.  We left my sisters house and by the time we got onto I-90 west, we took off 11 minutes of travel time on Rte 128... according to the Garmin.  There was 1 change and that was that there are no toll booths getting on to I-90...as well no toll booths getting off at the Sturbridge exit.
Being a nice day when we arrived in Dover, Tom got permission from Alice to go across the street to play golf. After he got back, he had to ask what she said in the rest of the sentence.
We didn't take any pictures of either the snow we left behing, or the sunshine we drove towards.

We do have two pictures to start our blog.

The first is of Grammie on a recent visit to Cheyenne to see her newest grandchild, Henley, and her parents Robin and Doug. 

The 2nd is a picture of the newest grandchild Henley with her Mom, Robin and her Dad, Doug, and her aunts who visited Cheyenne from Maine.

Thank you everyone for keeping an eye out for Grammie.
