Granny's Got a Car..or, Maine in the Rearview Mirror

I found every granny's dream car....a cadillac!  Now for the road trip to Maine to look at real estate.  For curiosity's sake, I looked up today's temperature in Westfield, Maine, the town my Dad was born in and where I lived as an infant.  It's April and it's 19 degrees! Do they know it's spring and most kids are on Spring Break!  We are still looking at piles of lingering snow but at least the temps are in the 40's during the day and little shoots of early spring flowers are desperately pushing their way through the soil.  The roadtrip to Maine has been replaced with a Bahama cruise.  Only 20 days before embarkation.  But that is not a roadtrip.  Besides, I need to test my heated seats, cruise control settings, and introduce myself to my Onstar Virtual Advisor.  MicroWorld residents are pushing me out the door.  My vehicle purchase choice has won everyone's approval and peaked conversations of bygone vacations.  Since many of our residents live vicariously through Granny Ray, it's my obligation to the hit the highway and bring back tales of adventure.  Today's roadtrip will be a visit to Frank Pepe's Pizzeria in New Haven, CT.  I saw this place on the TV show, "Diners and Dives".  It opened in 1925 and before that, Frank Pepe was selling his "tomato pies" on the street.  The reality of the trip today will be an uneventful and boring interstate 91 drive to New Haven and following our mapquest directions to the restaurant.  We will park, order and eat pizza and leave with our own opinions of this "best pizza in the world".  But MicroWorld will be treated to a tale worthy of it's own movie.  Check the upcoming blog and read all about "Cadillac Granny and the Pizza Pie".....or "Cabin Fever Road Trip to Binge Eating".  As for real estate in Maine.....There is a reason it's so reasonably priced.  This Granny is going to point her 8 cyclinders south.
