I haven't been around this weekend, I was in Vermont. We drove up on Friday and we will be driving back to Connecticut later today. It was not a pretty weekend, it rained Friday and Saturday but at least it was only overcast on Sunday. This morning it is bright and sunny and it will make for a nice day to drive home. I plan to stop at the Vermont Country Store to sample and then buy some Vermont cheddar and probably a few other things. We played a lot of dominos this weekend, actually, 4 full games and can you believe it, all of us won a game, the perfect ending. We are out at some really good restaurant and I am going home with a bunch of containers of leftovers. I won't have to cook for a few days!! It was great to see my brother and his wife, we haven't seen them since last fall. probably in October. I hope everyone had a great weekend and I look forward to catching up with everyone.

lol I have to admit I have done some really great traveling. You know, while we are in Florida next year maybe you could come down for a visit. There might be a train.

@simone10 I can understand that, but if the fur babies can travel they are welcome

@BelleStarr oh, I would love that but I wouldn't be able to leave my fur babies. They sleep with me and are with me during the day when my brother is at work. If it wasn't for them, I would be there in a heartbeat.

I was just reading about Vermont last night. They have a very interesting past. I never knew that they were originally part of New York, but broke off from them in a dispute and later became their own colony for a while. They actually petitioned the English government to rejoin the English crown by becoming a Canadian province, but they later solved their dispute with New York and then was admitted into the fledgling United States. Pretty interesting stuff. I hope you had a great time visiting! I've never been to Vermont, but would love to go sometime.

@BelleStarr Do you ever wonder if the US will break apart again soon, with states upset over politics or whatever seceding from the union again? I have always imagined that Texas would be the first state to break away and declare their independence, but it seems like lately even California has thrown out the idea of seceding. I'm sure it's bound to happen eventually.

I'm happy you had a wonderful time, despite the weather, in Vermont with your brother and sis-in-law. I did see that large puddle on Facebook. Wow! This photo is much better.

My brother was taking me to see a farm he is interested in buying, it is an area that often floods but this year has been particularly bad.

@DianneN Only one road floods, the farm is on much higher ground and is high and dry. It has another way to get there without going by the low lying area.

We didn't mind the weather as much as if we had made plans to be outside since we were playing games it was okay, just the driving in the rain was bad.

We've been playing a variation on dominoes lately. Some call it Mexican dominoes or train dominoes. It's a fun variation.

That is what we play, with the Mexican train, it is our preferred version and we have adjusted the rules to fit our tastes over the years.
