Meet the Keatings

Happy Friday to everyone! In a mere 10 hours I will be in flight to that Cradle of Modern America commonly known as Boston. I will also be meeting Bosco’s family for the first time. This has my stomach pulling loop-d-loops faster that a whole boxload of matchbox racers. I have been warned in particular about his sibling who hasn’t stopped sharpening her knives over his ex-wife, and of the fact that if she does threaten me such as:

“You haht mah brudha, and you betta book outta here or Ah’ll take ah clabbid to ya quayah skeeza skull.”

...that I would be pretty much helpless but to nod and say, “Mmm, okay then, what you said.”

(FYI: Blogger's spelling editor just about coughed up a formatting lung on that sentence above, RIP Lingo!)

That aside, I’m salivating over this mini-vacation, it will be my first one in about 3years! (I do NOT count going home (MN) as a vacation, that is a daughterly duty…when my parents move to the Virgin Islands, THEN it will be a vacation!).

Lastly, for those who are also trying to come off as a passable Boston Native, here’s a site I’ve been using to cram for this weekend.
