More Ponticellis....

A super visit.....everything was awesome....the kids got along in a superb way....Callum and Maira are depressed as heck that their buddies JJ and Ava are gone...such a treasure to get to see the kids all being friends. Was thinking about how JJ and Callum were buddies, running around all over the place and having a blast.......and how Jason and I were Callum's age when we started doing the same thing 30 years ago. Circle of life.  Very special. Restaurants hit: Governor's on Saturday night. Cancun in Sunday. Snowmobiling accomplished. Bounce Zone fun was had. Movie night on Sunday: Emperor's New Groove. This morning before they left we had breakfast at The Flatlanda, and if Jaquie were in a better mood, Jay and I would have taken our picture by the NEVADA LOSER license plate for Jawn. Speaking of which, we had a good Skype Session with the Rev. John Francis, as seen below.....

The kids did a LOT of art and coloring. Legos "in the basement" were a big hit. As was driving around two remote control cars, trying in earnest to knock over Lupine's food and water bowl. Lots of playing in the snow, in particular with the big fort/tunnel that Callum and I made a couple of weeks ago. Also, we had another snow storm on Saturday night....the forecast went from 16+ inches to 3 inches in like fifteen minutes. Yet ANOTHER fantastic forecast by Maine's best and brightest. But we got four or five inches or so, and on Sunday morning Jay and I snowblew both our driveway and Bill and Terry's across the street, as Bill is in the hospital.

The adults enjoyed an intense Scrabble game on Saturday night....allllllegedly I was taking too long between turns. IDK guy, IDK. All I know is that I (as usual) managed to both entertain and then earn the scorn of every individual in the room. I have many talents.

The next 3 or 4 pictures need to be put in one of those 4 pictured frames you buy at KMart or something--they truly speak for themselves. The progression, essentially, tells the story of Jason Ponticelli and Jared Goldsmith's storied thirty-plus year friendship. EVERYTHING about our relationship is told, in sequential and chronological order, with such clarity in the next four pictures. And if this doesnt make sense to you, at least enjoy photos of two of the biggest losers the world could create:

Yup.
