We had a two-fer lunch yesterday at the BBC in Falmouth, purchased a $25 raffle ticket for a 1969 Triumph Bonneville (BBC’s fund-raiser for the Childrens Hospital heart transplant program) and picked up a key lime pie at the Windfall.<\/p>
Given the state of our finances – not grim, but not lavish either – we decided this morning to make that our anniversary celebration rather than go out today.<\/p>
We returned the Comcast TV box and remote. Our first bill was $150 – a far cry from the $74 and change we’ve been paying. We’ve been channel-surfing off and on for two weeks but found little worth watching except for hockey and football, even on HBO.<\/p>
Besides BBC and Comcast, we did several other errands in Falmouth yesterday: got my glasses adjusted at VisionQuest, and Ron shopped at Kappy’s and did a fill-up at Cumby Farms with the new 10 cents\/gallon discount card.<\/p>
I’ve been looking at the forecast for Jaffrey, NH, with glee: 8-12 inches of snow predicted for today, which would have been our departure date if we’d gone there for Thanksgiving.<\/p>
Feels like we’re just catching our breath from the last 10 or so days of activity. Ron is off to re-install Emme’s hair dryer wall plate, drop off a check to the Water Department, and do a light shop at Stop & Shop.<\/p>
Peter Randall stopped by late afternoon yesterday to check out the attic for insulation possibilities through Terminix. Looks like it won’t work. Pity they don’t do wall insulation.<\/p>
It’s fairly mild and raining again today. I removed the burlap from the shrubs yesterday, until the next cold snap.<\/p>
We made another trip to Falmouth for strings and a tuner for James’ bass guitar, and trim paint for Edgewater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
