Last of the Chores, Great Day

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.
