It’s been six months since a big trip. They have flown by. I usually don’t do “at-home” posts, but wanted to present a monthly glimpse.
Later in April, I celebrated a birthday that ends in zero with a party, all my family and many friends. It was a marvelous weekend, shared with blooming tulips. I am still touched and moved by how many people came to mark the occasion with me.
In May, my amaryllis put on quite a show.
In June, we had a trip to NYC to see two shows (Death Becomes Her, Goodnight and Goodluck). We gave a Vassar reunion tour of the arboretum, we marched in a “No Kings” demonstration, and by the end of the month were at our annual happy place, Cape Cod.
In July, it got a little hot. On one of the hottest days, we helped plant shrubs at our local little part. Keeping them watered also became a family endeavor for the rest of the summer. We had a jaunt up to Maine to see friends, and there was more kayaking. JoeJoe got to come.
August was actually very lovely. I worked up to 12 miles/week of running. We continued to see summer shows: NYC ballet, Glimmerglass opera, Tanglewood…no photos! But I did get a new bike…its awesome. It’s called a comfort bike and I can dismount without fear. Best of all, so far, no sore wrists.
September brought me back to near the Cape, for a cousins reunion and a game at Fenway. And some new cabinets in the kitchen!
And now it’s October and we are waiting to depart for…stay tuned.
