Tour of Connecticut Day

I was the chauffeur and dog sitter today. We left Russ’ fathers house early with me at the wheel so Russ could be on calls while I whisked him to his first meeting of the day in Westport, CT. While he enjoyed lunch at Terrain meeting with his colleague, Shay and I were walking the big Westport dog park. It is actually a park that happened to only have people with dogs in it.

There was not one person without a dog and some with many dogs. So the dogs out numbered the people by at least twice. Shay, as a dog who does not care for other dogs was very well behaved and let all the dogs greet her who wanted to. Shay greeted all the people, since she considers them her equals, but not their dogs.

From the Westport meeting we wheeled our way into the middle of Connecticut. Russ had a meeting in West Hartford, as we were going to all the West places, but we are staying in Simsbury. Shay and I got dropped off at our Inn while Russ went to his meeting. We took another big walk in town, but no dogs were visited.

We enjoyed dinner outside with Shay when Russ returned and then made a quick run over the the Ethel Walker School, where I had gone to boarding school. I showed Russ all my buildings, Beaver Brook, where I had the same room on the third floor two years in a row. The Chapel, where I spoke loudly and often, and Cluett, my senior dorm. The school looked great.

It was a fast tour through my old home state. Tomorrow we are off to pick Carter up on our way to Maine. At last.
