Hi Ho Silver!

Riding the Siver line in Boston, under the harbour is pretty cool!

Taxi

If you have to take a taxi, make sure it is a water taxi. Had fun riding the water taxi from Longs wharf to Logan airport.

Most Excellent Adventure

Faith and Dave had a most excellent adventure to Ogunquit. We took a boat ride to the Nubble light house.

Nubble lighthouse

A visible sign the your life is on the rocks, when you live on the rocks in the lighthouse.

Coast of Maine

The beautiful coat of Maine can cleanse your mind. The simple beauty in everyday simple things that are around us that we don't notice or take the time to enjoy.

4th of July

How fortunate we are to live in a land of freedom and to enjoy freedom of religion. Especially when there is so much religious intolerance in the world.

Maine

It is such a restful and peaceful place. And ironically, it is located inside of a closed fort.

No Mess

What is the proper way to eat an ice cream cone? Grampy and Grammy had lots of advise. Lick from the bottom and keep rotating the cone! However, each most learn this equation for themselves. At the expense of dropping ice cream on your shoes and clothes!

Dropped Ice Cream

Ethan's ice cream fell off his cone. Hee was very lucky that staff replaced his ice cream cone. So what does a boy do with two ice cream comes? He puts the ice cream between the two cones and twirls it like he was eating spaghetti.

The Zakim Bridge is a gift from the American taxpayer to the city of
Boston. It is a beautiful gift!

Dirty

I thought that perhaps she might stain her dress by playing in the
dirt. She told me the grass stains but dirt washes right out! If
you're going to play outdoors and wear a pretty dress then these are
the things you need to know!

Style

She is very stylish! Hats are out of style for some people but not for her!

Memorial Day

On memorial day we take time to remember those who have given their all for our freedom. Some have fallen on foreign soil and some have watery graves. There is a special white cross ceremony to remember these individuals whose remains have never returned home. Their names are read aloud and the response is "not present".

John Adams

Eric's class put on a living wax museum project and he was John Adams. You stepped on a yellow circle in front of him and he would then tell you about John Adams. It was a lot of fun and he did a great job!

Walk In The Woods

Walk in the woods and listen to the sounds of nature. The soothing sound of a stream of water. I wonder why it is so relaxing to walk in nature?

To Do List

We had the Princess spend the night. There was so much that she wanted to do that she created a to do list. It's an honor that she would want to spend the night with us. And that she looked forward to it so much that she created a list of things to do!

Gallantly

I was surprised to discover that Princess Janelle had used me in her word of the week project at school. It's fun to see how children see you and it's also very humbling.

Boys and Pigs

The way the pigs were observing the boys you would think that the fence is there to keep the boys out!

Pancakes

It's maple syrup time! That means that winter is over! What better way to celebrate than with fresh maple syrup, right from the tree to your plate!

Green Acres

You are greeted by a John Deere tractor when you arrive at any farm. There is something about a tractor that brings out the boy!

Winter In New England

Winter belongs to the youth. Skating, skiing, and sledding. For the adults, winter is miserable. All that shoveling!

My Boys

It seems like yesterday that they were in school. I blinked and suddenly they were grown up. Nothing gives me more pleasure then to be with them.
