Last Day in Connecticut

We spent our last day in Connecticut visiting with Uncle Jack. Cubby made himself right at home when he jumped on the back of Uncle Jack's easy chair and began looking out the window for "intruders" while we talked.

Uncle Jack has lots of great pictures in his house. One of the pictures that Uncle Jack has under his TV is of Mom. It was taken in Aunt Margaret's yard over 20 years ago and Mom is wearing some really large-framed glasses. What caught my attention about the picture is how much Carol (in Tennessee) looks like her mother did when the picture was taken. I took a picture of the picture....so that you can see what you think. I think there's quite a remarkable resemblance.

Our day at the La Quinta Inn started with what we thought was a "Bad Dog Cubby" incident. You will see a picture of Cubby looking down at a wet spot on the ottoman that Dad is pointing out to him. Then you will see a picture of Mom pointing at the ceiling....and finally you will see a picture of a leaky ceiling. We found out that the room above us had a leak that had gone through the ceiling and was dripping into our room. So, Cubby was a very good dog after all !! He has been excellent on the trip, not a single accident. And, he's been ever so cute and friendly to everyone.

The little Broad Brook Garage (which is no longer operational) and the Church in the pictures are just a few blocks from where Uncle Jack lives. The church has one of the great steeples that we have been admiring over the last few days while driving in the area.

We will all really miss Uncle Jack. He's got a great personality and gets a wonderful twinkle in his eye when he's amused. Dad and I have really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know him and Mom has loved every minute of her time with him. We love you, Uncle Jack!!
