my camera is not the best so this picture doesn’t quite capture the amazing colors of the sky. These are Boston’s twin towers — International Place I (left) and II (right). Robin and I met on floor 28 of International Place I in 1992.

These are the oldest seats in all of major league baseball. They were installed in Fenway Park in the 1930’s. The rest of the park has been rehabbed since the new owners took over in 2002 but these seats remain. They are solid oak with wrought iron arm rests and legs. They are INCREDIBLY uncomfortable to sit in but their history makes up for it.

today it houses sunflowers. it’s such a perfect vase; thanks, Robin, for sending it to me last summer.
i am remiss to admit our burning bush has turning leaves this afternoon. i do believe this summer is confused.
but i am not ready to discuss Halloween. so from here-on-out, i refuse to go shopping until October 1st.

I was reminded that in one moment life can be altered so…
awesome

there were so many words to say about it. to keep it short i’ll share this: you see these planes fly overhead, so much more closely than anything real-seeming, and you imagine the person flying it. for a moment i wanted to drop to my knees and cry with pride. because even though yesterday it was an air show, what they are trained to do with those planes means much more.
from thunderstorms and fireworksit’s her first one…

said the egg lady after i picked out my pretty dozen. i liked this one because
it was small and so blue, but after the way too detailed story of how it
came into this world, i didn’t know if i should clap or throw up a little.
date night, plus

24 hours without kids, in our own town, our own house. ran into an old friend at target, 3pm. three hours later we all met up for dinner. the margaritas were awesome; the conversation hysterical. and then we got to go home to peace, quiet, and the chance to sleep in.

i asked them why they were so well behaved at dinner. he said ‘we are all so tired.’ i’ll have to keep that in mind.
at the end of a long day…

a bowl of pretty figs makes me happy.
a perfect example of a lazy summer day…
unnoticed
In jo on July 20, 2009 at 7:53 pm
i’m not sure how i never noticed them before, especially the yellow against the sand. but then again: think about how many times in a day greatness passes us by, our minds otherwise preoccupied with tasks. it’s a lesson.
looking behind, looking ahead…
not a bad idea.summer

We went into Boston the day after SailBoston was over. It was amazing. We not only got to see 8 of them in port, we also got to watch them sail away with their sails unfurled.
how long will she remember the sweet peas…

while the necessity of a larger van could be seen as a step towards success, as the driver it felt like a punishment.
the best offense

is a good defense
The Verriers visit to Montana in 2008 was almost taken down by two 3 year olds and 1 cute pair of flip flops. This year we outsmarted them!!

i went into the day with no expectations, and i found it so much easier to just enjoy, even though what i thought would happen, didn’t.

who would have thought a geometric coloring book could be so fun
my allergies are worse at night.

In jo on July 11, 2009 at 1:34 pm
i tell you: if i could get away with it, i’d have a rooster and a few chickens running around my suburban backyard. i’m secretly plotting just how to make that happen.
but not dead yet..girls’ night
In jo on July 10, 2009 at 2:18 pm
the crowds weren’t bad. the food was really good. the company: so necessary.
Small World

In Milwaukee, thousands of miles away from south India, I met a 75 year old lady who used to be a teacher at the same boarding school I went to for two years...what a small world we have!

you should have heard them squeal with delight when my father passed out the balloons to the boys and said, ‘Go get your dad!’ of course, they promptly did.
happy 4th

the day was chaos, but the painting was fun. i wanted stars; they wanted hearts. at least the moment was theirs. happy 4th.
