Ron Cooked! Aeration

Ron made my favorite vegetarian burgers for supper two nights ago and a mild squash/spinach chili with corn and rice last night.

I found the bugs in Warranty: stupid typos.

Saw Dr. Boyle for the one year checkup on Monday. That pretty much killed the morning, although I was able to hear about half of the noontime call. As I suspected, the mobile apps do not poll the database.

The guys from Weed Man aerated the lawn, back and front, today.

I set up a Warranty repo on Team Services yesterday.

Attended a session on wildlife print tracking at LL Bean last night.

Afternoon in Cotuit; Evening in Dennis

Alpha and I went to the Cotuit Library for a lecture on Japanese art. They attended the lecture, I worked downstairs.

We saw signs for and were lucky enough to be able to visit the Cotuit museum, which is run by the Historical Society of Santuit and Cotuit. It’s an exquisite museum co-located with the beautifully restored Samuel Dottridge Homestead.

Yesterday evening, all three of us visited the Cape Cod Playhouse for the first time to see the final performance of the season, “The Best of Second City”. I thought Alpha seeded the best ad lib of the night with their suggestion “Butterfly Screams” in the emo/punk rock genre.



Salads; Sauce; Alpha; Art

Made two salads and some less than perfect tomatoes into sauce yesterday.

Ron cleaned up the kitchen; it’s much nicer now!

Alpha, Ron and I went to Lillia and Herb’s art opening at the Falmouth Art Center.  There was also a juried show going on at the same time, so it was quite crowded for a while.

We love their work and Alpha fell in love with the Center.  They may apply for a scholarship to take a class.

They spotted a beautiful set of candleholders, and I bought them.  We’ll pick them up when the show is over, in about 3 weeks.

Picked up a couple of boxes of “used” strawberries and a couple of other groceries at Jack in the Beanstalk.  Ron and Alpha put together strawberry shortcakes for us.

Made a big breakfast this morning:  blueberry pancakes and a Western-type omelet with cheddar cheese, pepper and used cherry tomatoes.

Tomato Pie

Ron made salad, I made tomato pie for supper.  Elegant combination, enhanced by the new oils from Gustare.

The Safelite mobile van person replaced Ron’s windshield today.

I sent a pic to Jen of her friend’s house under construction.  Told her we’d be glad to help if needed.

I got over the data access hurdle with the new version of Warranty.

Set up the tile for Ron’s wallet.

Wrapped up my last project for LaMotte and got started on integrating a new emailer.  Downloaded a new version of the Android app, but was told to hold off on testing until it’s ported to staging.

Paul’s friends punked out on both of us.  Very pleased that Alpha will be joining us on Saturday!

Labor Day; Cape Cod Playhouse; Sesuit Harbor

Trekked to Dennis today to pick up tix at the Cape Cod Playhouse and figured after almost 16 years as a Cape Codder, it was time to visit the Sesuit Harbor Cafe.  It’s kind of a waste for vegetarians, but the views are terrific.

Picture-perfect day to be on or near the water.  Gorgeous ride on 6A, too.

Ron cleaned the bird bath.  I adjusted the new drapes and took soil samples from four gardens, to dry overnight and be tested tomorrow, or whenever I have time.  Also did some work on Warranty.

Didn’t realize that I’d purchased two sets of tickets to Second City, so am giving the extra set to Paul to hand off to friends of his.

Psalm 139 NIV

You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.

If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Labor Day Weekend; Ron Is My Hero

We joined the Move to Remove standout at Falmouth Green yesterday morning.  Nice to see familiar faces from Occupy, like Sandy (below right), Peter, Paul and Joyce.  Pix by Paul.

It rained earlier today, so good that Ron mowed the lawn yesterday.

I misplaced/lost my keys.  Ron was nice enough to drive us to North Falmouth to look for them around 8:45 last evening, so I treated to ice cream at the Holy Cow.

I went to the BofA parking lot, Falmouth Green and Stop & shop this afternoon.  Got to see the surf at Falmouth Heights beach but didn’t stop.  After dump run,  Ron found my keys in the potholder drawer.  Ordered a Tile Mate.

Now, if we could only find Ron’s tweed cap, which disappeared somewhere between here and Chestertown.

Last evening, I bought shoes and matching Black Watch plaid flannel shirts at the new LL Bean store in Mashpee Commons.  25% plus another 15% off for opening an LL Bean credit card for a total savings of around 36%: even better than the employee discount.  I plan to get rid of all my old, beat up flannel shirts, which have served me well but have seen better days.

Did some weeding yesterday.

We spotted a plastic but nice fake bamboo plant at the transfer station.  Ron is bringing it to Edgewater for Peter’s office and picking up Robert from work.  My stomach rebelled after I wolfed down french fries this afternoon from my favorite hole in the wall.  Ron, who certainly is my hero today, made a pot of tea before he left.  Feeling much better.
