Given all the rain we've had, I can't believe the hydrangea blooms are so huge (see more at right). Today went for part 2 of my stress test at the cardiologist's office - will get the results Friday. It's also Jack's birthday, and we celebrated with friends Jerry and Barb over dinner at Up A Creek Tavern in Howland. They give birthday boys and girls a free entree as long as it's on the official day.
