It is what it is

Awesome city.  Really impressed with how easy it is to walk and walk alone.  Met Brian for lunch today with the Friday Food Truck....Chicken, rice, lamb, salad and pita.  So much, so good......6.00!  Took off to the Boston Commons and spent the afternoon wandering through the gardens, Cheers, Massachusetts State House, several churches, walked back to pick up Brian and home again.  Stopped at cleaners, wine store (only 1 bottle of White Zin), convenience store and will walk later to grocery store for dinner.  Waiting for Otto to arrive.  Still in Detroit with a canceled flight, stormy and not knowing if he will arrive tonight or not.  It was foggy and misty again this morning but by lunch it became sunny, hot and humid.  Still awesome day!  So appreciative of being able to travel a bit and visit my kids and their cities.  I may never be rich and able to afford designer brands, fancy clothes, second houses, expensive vacations but I ...

Foggy, rainy, misty, oh my!  Planning to head out on my own today to the Boston Commons and do some "touring".  It has been a fun week.  First our trip with the Ding-a-lings to Rehoboth, lots of sun, sand and surf, food and fun.  A quick flight to Boston, (not without delays and issues but quick none-the-less), and here now with Brian and Andrew.  Their new place is so charming.  The area is all Victorian walk-ups and oozing quaintness.  We walked to the grocery store Wed night for an evening of wine, bread and cheese and tuna salad sandwiches.  Yesterday it was quesadillas at Boloco with Andrew and I struck off on my own.  First stop was old South Church.  Amazing ancient architecture and awe.  Next stop was the finish line to the Boston Marathon, and the area right down the street from the church where the explosions were.  Chilling.  (Not being a runner it is the only way I would see the finish line is from the sidewalk...

I feel badly that a whole month has past and I had no blogs!  So we will pretend it is still May!  It has been a busy and productive month.  Racing through the end of the school year materials and tests.  Trying to get the yard in shape, planting 10 flats of flowers.  The pool is open, we have stayed at the Grand, Mother's Day past, Matt & Dana spent Memorial Day weekend with us, I have gained 5 lbs. again, looking forward to the summer, school out and vacation.  Invites are out to the big July shower, starting to do some cleaning and window washing and soon school will be out and we will be off to Rehoboth and Boston.  Lots to do, lots to see.  Brain and Andrew are moving, Amanda will be moving in August (hopefully), Bryce found a job.....change, change, change....it is what it is, and it is June!
