Greetings blog readers who are wondering where I am and why I have not been in touch. I am in Scarsdale, NY visiting family. I have been able to receive your emails while here but not able to return any mail for some reason. We plan to go to the Boston area tomorrow and with any luck, all my replies will go out in one swoop of the cyber key. That is my plan anyway. The weather was very rainy the first day here but temps have been mild and in the 60's. The last two days the sun has shone brightly and although a bit on the cool side, it is still fine. We have been out walking daily. Saw a movie last night in White Plains. It was a very violent movie and resulted in my covering my eyes and ears for much of it. The name of it was the Departed and even though it was filled with famous, some favorite stars, I don't recommend it for the sensitve.

Last weekend I visited VA Tech for parents weekend. Such a beautiful campus! I will attach some photos of the review of the cadets. My grandson was in the band of course and looked wonderful in his full length coat and uniform. I hope to see him before Thanksgiving again back in Virginia. He and the Highty Tighties will be playing in the thanksgiving Day parade in Philly this year. I hope it is televised.

Sebastian is enjoying his visit here since there are two young girls to play with. One of the girls is infatuated with him. She remarked that his new bed was quite comfortable. I would have liked to have caught her in the bed with the camera. She is cute as a button.

We head for Boston tomorrow, Friday. This family has 3 youngsters and a small Westy who Sebastian has met before. He will be a happy pup. I think he sometimes is bored with us two oldsters even though he is not young at 11 years. He has lots of energy.
