Month: June 2018

What a day.  We accomplished our long-promised plan to lunch at Tora in Chinatown, so Alpha could sate her craving for Takoyaki.

Alpha generously treated us to lunch AND later, to dessert at Ho Yuen!

After doing laundry and  gardening – got all the veg and herb plants in before the rain expected tomorrow – we tore over to the Cape Cod Mall to pick up Alpha a little after noon.  Stopped at Edgewater so she could retrieve some things for the trip.

By a miracle, Ron got us to Middleboro/Lakeville in time for the 1:53.  I got to use the tickets that would have expired at midnight tonight, as well as the mobile app for parking payments.

We walked a bit of the Greenway and chilled out at South Station.  I was able to pick up OTC meds at the CVS; saved 30%, too.

On the way home, we stopped at the big Walmart in Wareham so Alpha could look for trading cards.  I did a quick shop in their grocery department.

Once we got back to Dixon, we put away the laundry and changed sheets.

Three hours of misery: couldn’t hear any of the speakers, many loud animal noises – it sounded like the Mashpee Wildlife Refuge had taken over the gym.  The Wampanoag Red Hawk singers were the best part.

No more high school graduations for us!

We finished (!) the weeding around the birdbath. Ron watered the new vegetables and herbs; I watered the geraniums, which were parched, and groomed and watered the pansy hanging plant. Doesn’t sound like much, but I’m pretty sure it was two solid hours of work.

Not predicted, but there it was, and I’m grateful for it.  Between pollen and weeding, plant leaves needed a wash.

Did more weeding and planted the five tomatoes and the big, gorgeous rosemary: the queen of the garden.

Peter was here to do laundry.  Ron drove Robert to work and picked up hardware at Eastman’s.

After driving Robert home, we went to Jane’s opening in Orleans.  Love her work, love her unique, individual point of view.

Back in Mashpee and fueled by gin and tonics, Ron and I were in hysterics picking out a card for James’ graduation bucks ($100).
