Why We Left ---

Branford Manor is getting a bit of press lately for all the robberies that have been going on. We're glad we got out when we did. Maybe part of the problem there is that the manager said she thinks the residents exaggerated the thefts. Real nice. Kind of hard to deal with a problem you don't admit. Maybe if she had been broken into she'd feel a little more drive to get these crimes solved. But, in a place where you can complain for eight years about rot and corrosion in your bathroom and not have anything done about it....

We've recently added some new furnature to the new house. Ella Grace got a bunk bed with a futon below that she loves. We've also been given a couch and an old-fashioned clock. The clock doesn't run on batteries but has to be wound by hand every once in awhile. Daddy loves it because of the ticking sound at night, very soothing.

Last Thursday was orientation, Monday was the first official day. Eliza is now at Headstart, the same program Ella Grace started with and loved, and so far Eliza loves it too. On her first day Mom and Dad were on hand, emotional, and promptly dismissed by Eliza who never looked back once arriving. Just like her big sister, Eliza took to school like a duck to water. Eliza is going on Monday through Thursdays, 12:30 - 4:00.
