Mom and Pops had a big night out on Saturday night. Danny took us to UD for some excitement. (Blaise was snug as a bug at home with Grand Mare. No worries!) Let the party begin! Our first stop was Danny's house on campus. I am disappointed that I forgot to snap a picture- it was a bachelor pad at its finest. Next, we toured a house called "Slanty." Old Slanty got it's name from the fact that everything inside leans to one side- the steps, sinks, refrigerator. (G-Pops, help!!) Slanty was partying pretty hard, so we took a quick walk through and stopped for a photo-op outside. Next stop, Tim's! Tim's is apparently "the bar" for UD students. (I would equate it to Finnegan's for our SMC/ND readers.) Aunt Maggi worked her magic at the bar and was able to get the group free drinks. (Only a Diet Coke for me, the D.D. and Blaise's food source.) Of course the family outing wasn't complete without Becky and Pat. We will see you soon! Speaking of family- I swear I saw Uncle Danny W. at the bar! I normally wouldn't be volunteering this ugly pic for the blog- but if you look behind me you'll see the Danny look-alike getting smooched by a girl at the bar! (Hey Danny- this is supposed to be a family site.) See the resemblance? Thanks to Danny and Maggi for taking out the folks and helping us feel like "we've still got it." Ha Ha
As you can see, Blaise does not always have saintly behavior! Blaise's name, however, comes from a saint whose feast day we observe every February. St. Blaise is known for blessing throats, as he once saved a young boy choking on a fish bone. He also is the patron saint of wild animals. Perhaps he can intercede on behalf of our cat? We expect that our Blaise will have lots of spunk, just like the saint he's named after!
