Spent Friday with our 2 year old English granddaughter (various birthday celebrations).
On Saturday, had lunch at the historic Dove Pub in Hammersmith followed by a walk along the Thames to Craven Cottage stadium for Premier League match.
On Sunday, birthday bash for our granddaughter with 20 of her English family members.
Birthday bash for our granddaughter. It’s our first. On my son in law’s side, she’s the 11th…and they’re all in the pool having a blast.
Beautiful weather today. Hot fall day.
Had dinner last night with my son’s new gf. She’s 6ft and elegant looking. And smart. And can keep a conversation going. Had a great dinner. My son was bartending, and all the wait staff are older so it was a lot of fun, wait staff kidding around etc.
And that whole pumpkin fiasco all day Saturday.
We’ve been here in blue Chicago since Tuesday taking care of our two granddaughters. Our daughter and son-in-law went to Vancouver to celebrate S-I-L 's 40th birthday. We’ve been busy spoiling the grandkids. Now the parents will have to do some damage control when they come back. Bwahahaha… 
We go back tomorrow to “political ads hell”!
friday was chill post work.
saturday was busy work around the house and then drinks w friends on their patio. including their puppy who will give you kisses if you get close. (king charles cavalier - a sweetie)
sunday was some laundry, finishing work around the house, then got a great opportunity to umpire two U12 baseball games bc there was a cancellation of the assigned guy. last minute but fun to get back behind the plate. two games was plenty.
friday: early dinner out and temple services
saturday: torah study, then bought a tie and pocket square for daughter’s wedding. Matching, but not matching. Brunch out. and that evening a party for my Brother in Law’s, Mother’s 95th
sunday: got Jets tickets for son in law’s birthday. ugly day, ugly game, but we had a good time. all day as i was out from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Even longer for him, but he took a bus down.
