Throwback Thursday in Boston

After my trip to the grocery store lugging all the stuff for Minestrone, I decided to take the subway yesterday!   Did the food truck chicken, lamb and rice with that yummy garlic sauce with Brian for lunch and it was a misty sky.  Walked to Copley from his office, took the subway/trolley to the Fine Arts Museum and it was a downpour, heaving wind.  Missed my Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and had to have Brian GPS me in.  My jeans and backpack were soaked and I was freezing despite a sweatshirt and jacket.  Enjoyed the house and by the time I was ready to head back, the rain had stopped but the wind picked up!  Walked to a restaurant called Shabu Shabu and had my first taste of a boiled Japanese dish with vegetables, meat and noodles, done like a fondue.  Also sampled Pho.   Enjoyed all except for the Thai pepper that I ignorantly sprinkled on the first bowl.   YIKES!!!   Nice to see Andrew & Brian's friends, Josh & Kat.  Long 1 1/2 mile walk (taxi home) put me almost to 15,000 steps yesterday.  Bad news for the Mackinac Island trip.  Cancelled due to 27 inches of ice in the harbor and the boats can't get through.  There are no horses on the island yet and nothing but flying is available and no way to carry all the equipment etc.  Oh well, may as well go to work Monday & Tuesday!  It is what it is!  Also, Lucy has been a little sick.  Otto said she had a seizure on Tuesday.  Her first that we know of.  Reminiscent of Casey.  Don't like it one bit!  I better get home, she is missing me too much.

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  😳  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
