Philadelphia, Wyckoff and New Haven

On Thursday we visited with Rich's mother, Mary, brother, Jim and Jim's wife, Jeanne. Mary is almost 92 and is getting frail. In the evening we went out to dinner with Jim and Jeaane.

On Friday morning we visited with Mary and Jeanne before driving up to Wyckoff to visit with my cousin, Steph and her husband, Bill. Their daughter, Anneliese, is now living in New York City, so we missed seeing her, but my aunt Bert, Steph's mother joined us for dinner. We had a great time catching up on each other's lived since we saw them last year before returning to Mexico in October 2012. They told us about Hurricane Sandy and how they were affected.

This morning after a leisurely breakfast with Steph and Bill we drove up to New Haven, CT. Jesse and Rae just moved here from Portland. Rae will be starting graduate school at Yale in September. Jesse just started a new job in Groton. They bought a Prius to replace the old Taurus that they sold to Jesse's friend, Ryan, before they left Portland. They live in a building that was once Yale faculty housing, so it has plenty of old world charm. We helped Jesse put together their dining room table.

Their apartment is on the second floor to the left of the blue door

Tomorrow we might do some exploring of the area. This is my first time in Connecticut, being a West coast girl.
