Started the day at 5 so I could get to help out Jr. Tech with their STEM for girls registration at MMA.
Had a nice conversation with one of the other volunteers, a lady who taught computer science in Worcester and is now helping her church manage their database.
I stopped off at Home Depot to pick up a dethatching blade for Peter’s lawnmower. Also got some metal hose nossles.
Dropped off a small donation to the 8th grade Washington DC trip fundraiser and then did a quick walk through the health fair at the high school. Some good information and learned of a new PE program: the high school got a grant to purchase rollerblades and helmets. The teacher invited me to try it and I would have loved to except for my arthritic ankle. Had a nice chat with Michael from Mahoney’s about cold weather crops. He agreed, everything is late this year.
Went to the market at the Waquoit church for donuts for Ron, but Patience wasn’t there. Picked up a gorgeous bottle of white wine vinegar. Stopped at Roche to get some celebratory macaroons for Peter and dropped them off for him at Cape Mac. Went to Stop & Shop for my meds.
Made sandwiches for lunch with the new Panini pan that Ron got on sale at Williams Sonoma: great. We loaded up the truck and picked up trash and recyclables at Edgewater along with the lawnmower.
After the transfer station, Ron was able to switch out the lawnmower blades. He dethatched the back yard. I did some raking as well; lots of dead grass.
Made meatloaf for the first time in the microwave: done in 15 minutes.
