Happy Birthday Michael

 Happy Birthday Michael!  Here you are rockin' the cowboy swagger!  (Your granddaughter has swagger as well when she walks on her tippy toes!)


After a slow morning doing boring tasks around the house, we headed out into the gray day.  Our final destination - Capron Park in Attleboro, Massachusetts.  We chose to walk the grounds of the park and explore despite the threat of more rain.



















This 30 acre park was given to the city by the Capron (of course!) family in 1901.  Spacious with lots to varying trees, monuments and walkways, this was a perfect place for us to maunder.  The zoo here was first established after school kids did a penny drive in 1922.  Though now under threat of closure, the zoo seemed busy for a mostly rainy, chilly random Thursday in July.  (We skipped the zoo having arrived only shortly before closing.)

Word of the day - maunder.  Meaning to move about place to place aimlessly.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.
