Ah, four days with our grandchildren, Jackson, 10, and Oliver, 8.  We were supposed to pick them up on Monday, but because of the tragedy at the marathon, Ken and Erin wanted their children home that night.  Tuesday I drove them down to Battleship Cove, one ot the greatest "static" military exhibits, and Wednesday we went to Heritage Plantation in Sandwich, for an Owl exhibition and a "concept cars" eshibit. Carol, Riggo and Alex joined us.
