Month: December 2011

I’ve been told one too many times about how unattractive I am because I haven’t kept myself “fit”.

Since I have a very active lifestyle, it’s all about food.

So, no more cooking in this kitchen, unless it’s for Fluffles. I’m done.

Ron finished cleaning out the gutters while I did more cleanup in the front yard. This was the LAST of the chores that we’ve been working on every week (and sometimes every day) for months.

I made soup from a turkey carcass, a ham bone and a package of fresh vegetables and herbs.

We stopped off at the bank and the transfer station and picked up Emme to shop for a desk. We found a nice, old, solid wood desk and a waterproof winter jacket for her at Savers.

Stopped in to the First Church of Christ (UCC) in Sandwich Center for a fabulous tea with dozens of different tiny sandwiches and desserts. One of our table mates kept us entertained with great stories about local eccentrics from the 1930’s-on.

Ron bought a very pretty wreath made of shells for the house.

Brought Emme home and dropped off her desk at the storage unit. Got back to the neighborhood in time for a pep rally at Dino’s for the Mashpee Falcons, who are on their way to Gillette Stadium with a perfect record.

What a terrific day.

To celebrate our first anniversary, we drove up to one of my favorite spots, Jerusalem Road in Cohasset.

We spent part of yesterday afternoon cleaning out the gutters at Edgewater. We managed to remove the leaves and will go back today to wash out the remaining detritus, then bring the ladder to Dixon so we can finish up here.
