Hello everyone. Mike and I adventure home for a long weekend. Sorry we could not see everyone we were short for time and the snow storm kill one day of driving to see people. It's so hard to fit everyone in and we are truly sorry if we didnt get to see you or spend much time with you. We will mostly likely be coming home next year and we will try to plan alonger stay to see everyone that we miss the last few times we have come home!!! Below are pictures from our trip.

St Patty’s Day started off as a typical New England Day with a foot a fresh snow and ice on the ground. We battle the cold and walk down Merrimac Street to get to the Park Lunch to enjoy some green beer. After an hour of drinking and singing the power went out (figures good old New England weather for you).
Thank God most of us knew the words to a few of the songs so we had a singalong with us and the Reardon Family. Plus Seano wife kept the crowd quiet with her fiddle playing (Great Job). Then the power came back on but the power surge blew the equipment we had. We had to wait another hour for a backup. We did do with the singing along and a little boom box on the bar. Backup equipment came and the day was a great day to spend with friends we had not seen in along time! Below are some pictures from the day.
