Dad, at the memorial for veterans in Meredith, NH, September 2005

WWII with a view of the Lincoln Memorial

Boston Irish Famine Memorial

1. Cheese, a baguette, watermelon — the best food to take on a picnic.
2. Summer breeze … makes me feel fine … blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
3. As soon as it gets warm out, I live in flip flops.
4. To love someone is scary but good for the soul.
5. On a hot summer’s day, the woods are the best place for a long hike.
6. When I crave food, it’s usually something salty and crunchy.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to hanging out with Heather & Tim & Dave, tomorrow my plans include eating lobsters & steamers with my cousin & her husband and Dave, and going to a craft festival and Sunday, I want to take a hike with the dogs and get a huge maple soy latte in Salem!

And…apropos of nothing:

just because!

Here’s last Wednesday’s picture:

And this is what it’s cropped from:

a lampshade

SmallTown Mom was the first one to get it: “Lampshade.”

So…

What is it?

Today I had a visit at work from the cutest lil elfin girl

Last night, Dave came over and made stuffed peppers again…my request! I love the way he makes them, although I’m thinking next time, for a lower calorie meal, we’ll (and by we I mean Dave) switch out the bacon for Boca meatless crumbles and maybe add some chopped broccoli to the rice mix. The velveeta topping stays, however.

Later on, we took the dogs for a walk along the river…not knowing it was motorcycle night at the ice cream stand. Wolf did amazingly well with all the noise and just wanted to go in the water

The four of us sat on the stairs there while night fell and the almost full moon rose over the water, talking and watching Wolf watching ducks swim by. It was nice and peaceful, even with the motorcycles!

Then we went to CVS to get some Benedryl for me because the doc put Tegaderm over my port removal incision. Although it was only on for maybe 10 minutes, the damage was done and my skin is itchy and blistered. As we were driving back to my place, we passed an ice cream stand and had to stop…it was just the perfect night for it! I had coffee soft serve with jimmies and Dave had pineapple orange ice cream and shared it with Max & Wolf.
