MGH

No relation (we're "on").  I visited a friend tonight for a few minutes.  If you have to be in the hospital with crappy cancer, the Lunder Building is extremely nice.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

I gave him some money so felt OK taking his photo and he nodded at me so we're cool.  #streetphotography #Bostonlife #iplayedtheclarinetinjuniorhighandhighschool

My favorite find from Brimfield

I now own this mustard dresser and I love it.  The bottom half is at Whitcomb Storage in Lunenburg but I'll get it soon.  #noBrimfieldregrets

Brimfield Fair

I love the Brimfield Fair.  I don't love the traffic (read: horrific).  I met up with friends in Lunenburg and it should have taken us less than an hour to get there and it took three hours.  But once we got there, it was great (hot, but great).  I never leave Brimfield empty handed (that pink Pyrex bowl is now mine). 














David Johnston is laid to rest

TBT: John and me

"Redheads are extra credit."  --Nancy Patton

This photo was taken the summer John and I had drivers permits and did all the driving on a trip with Nan around the west and when we got home we found out the permits weren't valid outside of California.  #pattonmemories

Meet Wilma

This is my newest friend, Wilma.  Her mom was my secretary when I was the RSP.  Wilma was a few weeks early but is doing great and weighed in at six pounds which is twice as big as her older brother Odie and he was twice as big as their older sister Vera.  I love her name!  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever

Gooseberry Pyrex

I stopped at one antique shop on my way to Boothbay and found this Pyrex bowl.  I've been looking for pink Pyrex.  #ilovepyrex

Sewing project

I finished ten giraffes for baby gifts.  #maybeimnotgoodatrelaxing

I didn't make it to church but I did make it to the Trevett Country Store for a lobster roll.  #Maine

Saving seats

I'm just passing through Freeport but there's a big concert at L.L. Bean tonight. 

I'm on my way

The Wms.

It was so fun to hang out with Romney and Alecia in downtown Boston tonight.  I can't believe it's been 11 years since they moved.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #Figs&JPLicks

MIT roller coaster

Every Fall the MIT students build a roller coaster and every year I don't ride it.

Mid-century modern dresser

Tonight two friends helped me move this dress -- found on a curb on Beacon Hill -- from the middle of my office (where it's been for a month) into my bedroom.  #bestfindever #BeaconHill #trashtotreasure
