Rusty Arrives

Finally!  After two weeks apart, Rusty is finally here.  He did not have an easy time getting to Boston either.  His flight was delayed, and then the airline didn’t have his bag.  Apparently only about 50% of the bags were loaded onto the airplane in Denver.  Frustrating.  He called to tell me it would be…

Esplanade Playground

One thing I really love about Boston is all the access to green space.  There are gorgeous splashes of green amid all the high rises.  The Emerald Necklace, The Fens, and the Esplanade.  Today, armed with our scooters, we set off to explore the Esplanade.  But first up, Flour Bakery to try their famous sticky…

The sweet little darlings are tucked into bed after a long day and the door buzzer sounds.  The kids stir.  Shhh….nothing to worry about, go back to sleep.  Mom buzzes the delivery person up, cracks open the door and quietly accepts her reward for a day well spent.  The giant peanut butter cup cookies taste…

grocery shopping

Let’s talk about grocery shopping.  #1—I am eternally grateful for shopping delivery services.  Peapod is the one I’ve been using in Boston.  If you are prepared, everything can be delivered straight to your door.  #2—I am never that prepared.  #3—THEN you have to make multiple stops at CVS, paying exorbitant prices for much needed items…
