Ben's 21 st birthday !!

 What a fun night we had at Mongolian BBQ in Coventry  for Ben's B Day
It was the first time we have ever been there!! It was really tasty. We made Ben's party a little more exciting ,by getting him a pinata  with some of his favorite candies in it !! He crushed it outside of the resturant , luckily It was FUN to watch !!
What  a great night !!

Interesting new critter.........

Meet this odd little fellow...We were grilling the other day and this little guy 
wanted to get in on th action !!He was so  cool looking , one type I have only seen in books.His toes had small round balls on each tip, very , very neat !! His coloring was also very odd ,an almost   teal color.
You will never know what or who you might meet in Litchfield !!
