It's coming to that time of the year again

New York City for Memorial Day Weekend, I've already started to plan and make reservations.


This year there are a few changes, first off Robin from CT will not be with us. Our Rabid Republican has gone off the deep end and hates anyone who isn't straight, white, Christian and Republican, or has a brain between their ears. Of course Michael and I only fall into one of those categories, we're white but not narrow. Thus the bitch has dump us from her Facebook list of friends, some one please get me a tissue, will not talk to us and seems like she is losing a lot of her friends because her rants.

Second, Valerie is still coming, instead of renting two suites; I've rented one, two bedroom suite.

This year we're staying at the Kimberly Hotel on 50th Street, and Third Ave, next to the Affina 50 where we've stayed the last few years.

Also this year Michael and I will be taking the train from Providence, RI instead of from the rail road station on Route 128 in Westwood. It's the same distance but were hoping less traffic in the morning when we leave.

Cully is back

A blog that I really enjoy reading "Child of Atom" is back. I had it listed on my favorites and would check every couple of day, and then it got to the point only once a week or more. I just kept checking with my fingers crossed that Cully would come back. The other day I opened up his blog and saw he's been blogging for a few days now. Okay I you've guessed, I was excited to see he's writing again. If you have a few minutes give it a look http://www.childofatom.com/ he has great photos and drawings.


I guess like myself and everyone else we all take breaks for whatever reason. Of course I'm either get lazy, bored or both.

Mary Poppins play in March

My two younger sisters, Dottie and Beth, have tickets for us to see the play Mary Poppins in March at one of the theaters in Boston.

In 1964, our parents brought us to the Gary Cinema in Boston to see the movie, Mary Poppins, the Disney musical extravaganza. We lived over 20 miles from Boston in Billerica, it seemed like it took forever to get to the theater district where the Gary Cinema was located. At the time Route 93 stopped at Medford and we had to take the Monsignor O'Brien Highway through, Medford, Somerville, Cambridge and finally Boston. Thinking back we all had to get dressed like we were going to the theater for a play; the theater district was alive with plays and movies, all the people, the excitement. Yes the movie was GREAT, I can still remember it even though I haven't seen it since that day we saw it in 1964. So seeing the play with my sisters should be fun and will bring back a lot of great memories for all of us.

Dinner at Cuisine of Mark Connelly, Plymouth Center

I made reservations Saturday evening at Cuisine of Mark Connelly, in Plymouth center. The place is small; we were greeted at the door and sat sort of in the middle of the restaurant, at a small table for two.  Order a bottle of red wine, large lobster cake, Michael, the prime rib and I, the lamb chops.  Wine was very good; the lobster cake was outstanding.  Now at this point we weren't sure if the rest of the meal was going to be good or a total miss.  The entrees came out and Michael’s end cut prime rib was huge, I'd say it was three inches thick and all meat very little fat, it was over potatoes and carrots.   Mine was four lamb chops over potatoes au gratin little grilled zucchinis. The meal was outstanding.  I never enjoyed a meal as much as I did last night. For dessert we split a chocolate lava cake.  All I can say is we hit the jackpot.  YES we would go back again and this time has all appetizers. This place is a must for anyone to go to.  Was also told by the server that if we wanted something cook differently of to change things to our liking, please let them know.

Friday evening at the Aqua Grill

Last night, Michael got home late from work, he cooks I clean up, it works for us.


Anyhow, Michael said he's take me out to eat someplace local. We went to the Aqua Grill on the Cape Cod Canal. The place is local, nothing outstanding, good food at a good price, they serve food up to 9:00 PM, it's a good thing we got there at 8:50 PM. It's the winter on the Cape so most restaurants close their kitchens by 8:00 PM. When we got into the Aqua Grill the bar was full and most people were watching a show on the TV’s, there was a woman singing, not bad either. The room behind the bar had about 30 people, looked like a party of some sort. We were seated in a booth just the right of the bar.

We had burgers with cheese and fries. They were very good, we should of had one of their other dishes that just screams your on the Cape but the burgers were screaming to us. We also had their root beer floats, no not made with tonic and ice cream but with coke and vanilla vodka and something else, they taste just like a root beer float. Amazing!!!

The Aqua Grill is owned by the Paddock Restaurant in Hyannis. I just googled it and there is one entry with the place looking very lively at the bar and restaurant but I had to laugh at the woman singing and the piano player.
