Just taking a moment to wish all of my friends and family and anyone else who reads my blog on occasion a very happy and healthy new year 2010. I’m not into resolutions, except that I want to do the best I can this next year to take good care of myself and those I […]
Boxing day blues…
Well, not exactly blues…it is one of those “I am SO glad it happened while they were here” scenarios. My in-laws came to visit for Christmas. They take the bus down from Maine to our house in greater Boston…now, that is pertinent mostly because dad-in-law will be 96 in a few days and he has […]
Merry Christmas morning…
How different is Christmas these days… First, there were the Christmas celebrations of my childhood, surrounded by my parents and sisters, great aunts and uncles, grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins…coffee for the parents first, then stockings, then breakfast THEN the presents…a box for each of the four of us to hold each gift as […]
Yes, it did snow…
…not 4-6″ as originally predicted, not 6-12″ as it was revised (with us being in about the midrange of those amounts) but a healthy 1 foot plus. Absolutely gorgeous… Did I shovel the snow off the deck so it won’t freeze on there and maybe collapse the deck? No. Did I shovel the front steps […]
It’s beginning to feel a lot like…
The storm that is heading up the coast from the South is baffling the weatherfolk…every day, the possible totals rise a bit, the ferocity of the storm increases…I think we are now up to 4-8″ here in greater Boston, but parts of the Cape may get LOTS more than that. It will be interesting to […]
Ho, ho, ho…
For me, this holiday season has been, so far, slow and easy. The house isn’t decorated yet and our Norfolk Island pine is patiently awaiting sparkle and twinkle (this weekend, I think). I got the kids’ Christmas packages filled and mailed (the hardest part) yesterday, so that pressure is off. Hus and I are foregoing big gifts […]
Oh, my darling clementines…
The best thing about this time of year is that it is clementine time again! Boxes of the juicy, sweet, SEEDLESS little yummies…wish this post could be in smellavision…love the smell of peeling clementines… Sophie is in love with the tissue paper some of my recent acquisitions came wrapped in…she rolls herself up in it […]
Mouse Hunting 101…
Don’t read if you are squeamish about cat and mouse activities… It has been fascinating to watch the cat dynamics in this house since we brought Sophie home. When we brought Phoebe and Puck home the year before, we only had to deal with crotchety old Buddy, who wasn’t going to like ANY other animal […]
Snow, wind, rain, wind…
What a day yesterday…woke up to a few inches of snow with more still falling. It took me an hour and 45 minutes to drive the half hour drive to work…traffic piled up the whole way…never did figure out what was slowing everyone down unless people were spinning out on hills. Halfway through the day, […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like…
…winter! We got a few inches of gorgeous, sparkly white snow last night…first thing this morning, the only thing despoiling the glistering perfection on the back lawn, looking out from my bedroom window, are the cat prints and other deep holes that hus says are cat leaps. Ahhhh…I love the snow when it is fresh fallen. […]
