The latest MIT hack.

Walk?

For someone (me) who is all about letter writing and phone calls and talking in person, this exchange is kind of funny.  #myfriendsometimeswalkstothesubwaywithme

No sisters; no hand-me-downs

My friend Kristen (aka "Sister") always shares her hand-me-downs with me.  That orange Boden sweater?  Gah!  It matches my chair and my hair.  I might wear it every day.  Thanks, Kristen!  Your the best.  :)

The Lehnardts

We are finally friends IRL!  #lehnardtsinboston

The best FHE

Burdick's with the Lehnardts, Mary and Teddy.  The people were a better treat than the hot chocolate and that's saying something.  #lehnardtsinboston

TV star crush

#Longmire

The Slacks

The Meijomes

#CousinsClub

Reed and Mary are visiting from Utah and came over for lunch today.  Reed's mom Anita is my cousin.  I just pointed them in the direction of Maine! 

Temple day

I was honored to be in the Temple today with Meghan.  She is preparing to serve a mission in Sweden.  #wearemormon #bostontemple

Once I Was a Beehive

I went to the movie tonight; it was great!  My friend Brooke and I were happy to get a photo with the real Beehive!  #onceiwasabeehive

TBT: The First Five (bishops of the Arlington Ward)

I took this photo in October, 2002 at the Boston Stake Center.  L->R: Bob Chandler, Kip Thompson, Lee LaPierre, Travis Waller, Jim Johnston.  Kip was visiting from Texas that Sunday and when I saw him before Stake Conference I quickly realized that all Five Guys were there so I grabbed my camera, wrangled them and took some photos.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #nofilterneeded #afavoritephoto #LDSleaders

New Beginnings

Two rows of Young Women?!?  This is a big deal!  We are at 9 with two girls turning 12 in the next three weeks.  Tonight was New Beginnings.  #arlingtonwardyoungwomen

And with this leaf...

...my long Maine weekend is over.  #epweekendinmaine

A cloudy rainy day in Maine...

...is better than the best day at work.  Thus saith EP.  #crossstitchthatonapillow #epweekendinmaine

Maine lobsterman in action

Bad lighting/Good lunch

Lobster roll from the Trevett Country Store.

Boothbay view

The view from my friend's house that she grew up in.  Sigh.  Maine.  #epweekendinmaine

Fall foliage

Before I moved to New England I thought you had to "go somewhere" to see beautiful leaves.  But as I tell people, the leaves on your own street are beautiful.  #epweekendinmaine

I'm curled up with a great book

I have to stop here

I only bought postcards.  #epweekendinmaine

Cornish, ME

I aw this antique shop on @real_simple and have been wanting to check it out.  It does exist!  Cornish, Maine did not disappoint.  Antiquing and Maine--two of my favorites.  #epweekendinmaine

I'm back

Kimballs -- last time for the season

I introduced my new friend Tess to Kimballs last night.  Now she knows what all the fuss is about.  And why we drive that far  for ice cream.  They close this weekend until Patriots Day.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #kimballfarmisforever

TBT: the Cousins

The three oldest Patton kids with the Pitchforth cousins in Washington state (I'm in the middle). "We are related to the Booths, the Broughs, the Goldsbroughs, the Carvers, the Kendalls, the Wilkies." --Nancy Patton (cousin information given to us when we left for college) ‪#‎pattonmemories‬ ‪#‎weonlyhavefourfirstcousins‬ ‪#‎theretheyareonthelog‬ ‪#‎Nanjustoutofthepicture‬ ‪#‎nowNanisjustoutofthepicture

Fall is in the air and the apple bucket

So long Judy Pate

Judy died tonight at age 50 from cancer.  She is loved by many and will be missed.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever
