July 7th

We went to Isabel's museum yesterday. 

Today we headed for the coast. But I discovered my key to the van is missing. I spent a while with Google to find a dealer on our route who could replace it. For a modest fortune I shall have it replaced in Burlington while we are viewing Renée.

We continued on our way, mostly along the Merrimack river. However, at one point I, as we are moving, got up to try to rearrange my cupboard to stop the rattle. As I was doing this, suddenly a yellow pedestrian light went on and immediately a bunch of kids jumped in front of the van. Robert slammed on the brakes and I flew, to land with a thud. It all happened so fast that I didn't know what happened. I didn't pass out, but I have some real beauty bruises on both legs and my left wrist. Basically, I am fine, but was really shook! !! For that reason we didn't reach the ocean, but at my request we stopped at 3:30.  Actually, we probably saved money because this on cost less than  $40.00 including tax.
