Spring in Woodbury

By -


It's been exceptionally warm here in Connecticut. It's been in the high 70's all week (and I guess last week also). Our yard needs a lot of work (remember how I wanted to level that little bit of yard we have). Grass is a mess, but we still need a little. After you everyone left last August we had to replace the well pump ($4,000). This week the furnace went out ($3,500 to ?). Luckily it's not cold. I posted a few of the photos (and even some movies) of the Utah trip here.
Have a good weekend!

That is too bad about the pump and the heater. You never get ahead with a house.

Flowers are great. Spring brought so many great tree blossoms. I wish that I had taken pictures.

The pictures of your trip to Utah were spectacular. Your pictures of the pelicans, deer, and the amazing rock "architecture" were so professional. Thanks for sharing.

I am really sorry about the well and the heater. As Kristin said, there is always something to repair or replace when you own a home...

Hey Bri, if it's not one thing it's your mother. I feel like I spend my whole life in the struggle against chaos and entropy. Everything man (or your mother) has made is determined to be dirt again. I also loved your posts from Utah and the set on your albums. Thanks for sharing the vacation. I was reading about Yosemite this morning in the paper. I have a dream vacation that would involve staying at the historic lodge on the valley floor (in the spring) and the walking up a bit into the mountains. If I do this I will have to incorporate a trip to the the redwood forests and then over to the Monterey Bay. Ten days?

Brian,

Your Utah photos are great. Melissa and I have been talking about a trip to the southwest, and this just whets our appetite.

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
