Grandkids and Hurricanes

Grandkids are great. We spent last Sunday going to church and playing with Marisa (3) and Sammy (1 1/2), the daughter and son of our Son, Bill, and his wife Ann. On Thursday they all came to Tuckahoe for a hot dog roast. we had a great picnic, Marisa and I performed on dulcimer and harmonica. We played greats like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Are You Sleeping, and Mary Had A Little Lamb. Sammy provided vocal accompaniement on a few pieces. A barred owl (see previous post) also provided some accompaniement.

Friday ther reminants of Ernesto passed by with 50 mph winds and rain in the neighboerhood of 6 inches in 24 hours. It appears as if the rain is now stopping and we will probably see sunshine by this afternoon.

We will not be going very far for the next fer days. I took our jeep to a shop to determine the source of a loud hum and found out that my transfer case is going bad. Fortunately it is fully warrented but I expect that we will have to live without it for a week to ten days.
