Becca just came home with Mom and then went next door to feed Erica. Erica just had her adnoids (sp?) out. Becca then brought over some clam chowder for Mom. She may have eaten most of it before feeding the rest to the dog. This is the first posting of this blog. I have written versions of these words twice already before inadvertedly losing it. Maybe third time is a charm.

Mattampash is the area around a local river as named by the Native Americans. War with the Mohawks and the settlers of the plantation period broke the local Indians by the late 1770's. http://messier.astro.umass.edu/Sunderland/nrhpsec8.htm
