A VISIT FROM SON BEN AFTER NEARLY TWO YEARS

The day began with a visit from my older son Ben, wife and daughter. Their wish was a trip to the Quabbin and McDonalds for an ice cream.We went to Belchertown for the treat then back to the Quabbin. Pictures were taken and the vistas were appreciated. Savvy is now 7 and affectionate. Later in the day we helped Chase celebrate his 17th birthday at home on Birch Hill. Lily and Maddie made birthday cakes and the crowd was friendly.Tomorrow Ben will visit me with family photo albums.Seton Hall plays California at 6:00 PM. Terribly cold today, windy and clear skies. It was 20 degrees when I got up at 7:00 am. Welcome home Ben & family! ROBERT LOUIS POTVIN
