We had a two-fer lunch yesterday at the BBC in Falmouth, purchased a $25 raffle ticket for a 1969 Triumph Bonneville (BBC’s fund-raiser for the Childrens Hospital heart transplant program) and picked up a key lime pie at the Windfall.
Given the state of our finances – not grim, but not lavish either – we decided this morning to make that our anniversary celebration rather than go out today.
We returned the Comcast TV box and remote. Our first bill was $150 – a far cry from the $74 and change we’ve been paying. We’ve been channel-surfing off and on for two weeks but found little worth watching except for hockey and football, even on HBO.
Besides BBC and Comcast, we did several other errands in Falmouth yesterday: got my glasses adjusted at VisionQuest, and Ron shopped at Kappy’s and did a fill-up at Cumby Farms with the new 10 cents/gallon discount card.
I’ve been looking at the forecast for Jaffrey, NH, with glee: 8-12 inches of snow predicted for today, which would have been our departure date if we’d gone there for Thanksgiving.
Feels like we’re just catching our breath from the last 10 or so days of activity. Ron is off to re-install Emme’s hair dryer wall plate, drop off a check to the Water Department, and do a light shop at Stop & Shop.
Peter Randall stopped by late afternoon yesterday to check out the attic for insulation possibilities through Terminix. Looks like it won’t work. Pity they don’t do wall insulation.
It’s fairly mild and raining again today. I removed the burlap from the shrubs yesterday, until the next cold snap.
We made another trip to Falmouth for strings and a tuner for James’ bass guitar, and trim paint for Edgewater.
