Two weeks from tonight!

Goodbye, Betty

I went to say goodbye to Betty tonight.  I took some photos of her in her almost empty apartment and videotaped her telling more stories.  She's a gem and I miss her already.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #toknowheristoloveher #shecallsmeherthirddaughter

New photo cards!

My card party is Wednesday night and Thursday night from 7-10pm at my place.  Cards are $2.50 each and my 2018 calendar is $17.  Everyone is invited!  #epphotography

I can't wait to look at every single photo.  #missingobamabigtime @petesouza

Trash day

The Laughmans brought the chaos

I had the Laughmans over for dinner tonight.  They brought chaos and a fruit salad.  I had the same menu as last Sunday (meat loaf, mashed potatoes, corn, lemonade) but added pumpkin squares for dessert.  I love the Laughmans and am glad they are back in the AW.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever

Bishop family photos

I found these when I got home tonight

Flour

Why not try Joanne Chang's favorite thing to bake?  Flour is just two blocks down the street.  #umyum

MIT PDA is different than @byupda

I hate the day that family leaves

Public Lecture at Harvard

I went to a really cool public lecture at Harvard tonight: The Science of Sugar with Joanne Chang from Flour bakery.  She was so interesting and engaging and delightful and we got some Italian meringue and a sugar cookie (yum).  #ilovetobakelikejoannechang

Chuck in Maine

The church is the same everywhere

Today was the Primary program with 9 children in a branch in Maine.  It was wonderful.  And so nice to be greeted at the door by friendly members. #iammormon #LDS #epramblesaroundnewenglandandgoestochurch2017

Non-descript McDonalds

They must have strict rules in Freeport, ME.  They have $1 sodas though!  #epramblesaroundnewengland2017

One of these days I'm going to get the most expensive thing at the salon.  #fullfoil @ladylew95

Help for Puerto Rico

I dropped these items at the Arlington Fire station and they are going to Puerto Rico.  #helpinghands #helpingmaxipads

Sweetgreen

I got the harvest bowl which is kinda healthy.  And I didn't know the lemonade had no sugar in it (so got a refund).  #sweetgreen #healthydinner #istherekaleinmyteeth

A pyramid of pumpkin

Dinner

Grief eating?  I'm a mile from the mall might as well go to Chick Fil A?  It's no fun fixing dinner for one?  Whatever it is, this is dinner.  #chickfila

Now IS the time

Emily McDowell makes the best cards.  I've probably bought 40 of these (#fanfavorite).  I wish I could send one to every person affected by the mass shooting in Las Vegas today.  And I disagree with the White House.  NOW is the time to talk about gun control because until we do the mass shootings won't stop.  #tendertimes #prayersforLasVegas #epspeaksup

It's October!  Message me if you're interested in these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies for #EPTreatoftheMonth--2 dozen for $20.  Recipe from @bakingwithblondie
