Found Stuff Tuesday #4

Today's installment of FST also was a New Jersey find, again found while cleaning my grandparents home.
















Oh look an old children's book. How sweet.
















Oh wait. What's this? Someone's been up to no good. What do you think was being hid in here? We will never know. And we will probably never know who used this nice book as a devious hiding spot. Most certainly it was one of my grandparents kids. And I would be willing to bet my next paycheck it was my Mom. The rebel.

Found Stuff Tuesday #3
















Whilst cleaning my grandparents home, Daniel found this Atari system and games. I came for the weekend and discovered they were some of my long lost childhood items. I guess I brought them up one summer to NJ and left them.
















This controller will cramp up yr hand in minutes.
















Dave's favourite game.

Thanks for the Room Buddy
















While in NJ we took Papa's boat out a few times.
















Goin in for lunch.
















A futile search for clams.































Whatever.
















Sailboats kept getting in my way. Jaba was worried I'd hit them. No worries. I am a natural.
















Daniel was pretty good too.
















Nice boat Papa! She needs a new name though.

Blogs is fo katchin up. Some time ago (while Sofia was in Brownsville) I went to NJ to visit Daniel and the Youngs. Whenever I am there I am grilla-man.
















Hence the awesome burgers. Jaba commented "These look a little rare." I was all "no no they are fine." They were too rare. I just don't like admitting my shortcomings. But don't let Uncle Steve know.
















They won't mind. They lived.
















The real reason for this post. Daniel was fascinated with the neighbours and kept taking pictures of them. He found them amusing.
















Uh-oh she spotted him.

Ice Scream
















No trip to NJ would be complete with out a little ice cream.
















Sofia is laughing at something. I am not sure what. All I know is that there was no way I was sharing a blizzard with her.
















Why the long face Chris?

On a positive note, Papa seems to be doing better. If you pray, pray for him. If you don't pray, send some good karma his way. If there is anyone that can make it past this, it's Papa.

NJ Continues
















One of the evenings last weekend we ate with the rest of the pinies at the Water's Edge.
















The crab cakes rule there. Nice and spicey.
















Aunt Deb soakin up the piney atmosphere.
















Future blogger?
















¡Primos chingos! Sort of.

Just to Make it Today
















Most of you know by now, Papa had a stroke last week. A lot of the family flew and bused into NJ to be by his and Mama's side. Much of the time was spent in the hospital (which I kept calling the hotel for some reason).
















But most of the time was spent sitting around and doing other assorted chores and jobs.
















Daniel kept soaking his feet. Weird.
