Old Love...

like a comfortable old shoe.   It just feels good.  May not look glamorous...but at 37 years squishy comfort beats glamor any day.
So here's how a perfect 37th anniversary goes...

 He finds this on his mirror.

 She finds this on the table.

And after their meetings and the day's "to-dos" are done
they sit down together

...and eat sugar-free, low-fat ice cream right out the carton.

Ahhh....old love.  It's a beautiful thing.

More of my Boston Adventures.

After my brief trip to Baltimore I returned back to Boston. Janet picked me up from the subway station without children and announced we were having a girl's day out.   After lunch at Panera we headed to Orchard House where Louisa May Alcott wrote "Little Women."

.

The tour was really interesting
...and complimentary by way of a library pass.
 I love that they do that in Boston...so helpful.

.

We weren't allow to take pictures inside
...I'm thinking that's so they'd sell more postcard prints.

The home was very much the same as when Lousia May Alcott lived there
...after she made her money writing "little Women."
It was quite nice. 

.

Then we explored the Concord river by kayak...So fun, so peaceful, so amazing...I couldn't believe  I was actually there, in a kayak on the Concord River!

...floating under historic bridges.

...to the Old North Bridge.

And dreaming about which beautiful house I choose
with a backyard that rolled  to the Concord river.
So beautiful...so different than Vegas.

.

Ahhh...to dream.
Thanks Janet, it was a perfect afternoon.

White Horse Beach

 After an afternoon at Pilmoth Plantation we headed to the beach for the evening.

Paddle ball with an extra challenge...Don't step on the little people.

Searching for sea creatures.

Gathering Hermit Crabs

Oooooh....creatures from the deep.

Somebody's legs don't work.

May your bloom never fade...

Whenever I return from a trip
there is a bouquet of flowers waiting for me.

I know...I'm lucky.

This time it was a dozen yellow roses.  They were beautiful.

 

Today I threw them away.  

There was just something sad about a vase of wilted roses.

A Pilgrim's Prospective

Saturday we visited Plimoth  Plantation 
'
 First we visited the Indian village.  We learned that Squanto wasn't exactly the noble Indian that our history books painted him to be...very interesting.

Then on over the hill to the 1620 English Colony.

.

These pilgrims never broke character...always speaking and acting as if they were really living in 1620.

Violet helped herd the chickens to the coop for the night.

Run Rooster Run

We could have spent alot more time here but alas...it closed and these pilgrims were ready to get back to 2012.  And we had some pretty tired pilgrims ourselves.
