State of affairs part deux.

Date: Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Time now: Approx 2 pm
Weather: Sunny & 84 degrees- low humidity....gorgeous blue sky
Activities this past weekend: Picked up fam at airport Friday, headed home after a stop at Whole Foods, fam picked blueberries & marveled at the size of the plants in the garden, kids picked squash and more squash and a little more squash then we harvested our first cucumbers, visited Brattleboro Farmer's Market Saturday morning, our friend Sally came to visit for Saturday night- Farmer Bill came over for our first dinner party- we played games, cooked a local food dinner, laughed, talked & visited, went to Boston Sunday- played tourists extraordinaire- saw great Freedom Trail sites, met Denise & Phil (friends from Boston) for dinner- Pizzeria Regina and cannoli in the North End, stayed in Cambridge, quick ride by Harvard, dropped Stokes at train station (subway to airport), drove home yesterday, crashed for 2 hours when we got home!
Activities today: Recovering from a full weekend of family, friends, food & fun/ A trip to the recycling station/ mailing Annie's school forms/ washing car/ picking blueberries
General attitude: Mixed feelings: tired from an action packed weekend, relieved kids arrived safely, sad to leave Stokes at airport yesterday, relaxed at having nothing on our calendar for 2 weeks.
Ate for lunch: leftover Sour Cream Hamburger Bake and fresh salad from the garden
What's for dinner: Squash soup, fresh garden tomatos and cornbread
Hardest adjustment since kids' arrival: Moving from a house with 5 bathrooms to this house with 1 tiny bathroom....we're working on figuring out a system!
