Month: July 2017

I know that with my little point-and-shoot, I can’t possibly get photos as good as Doug’s.  But I can get perfectly good photos of Doug.

I was grabbing some cherries to put in my lunch, and this little red one spilled out.  The one behind it is a normal size cherry.  I did not eat the little one; I imagine it would not have tasted good.

Doug’s worked in the city for 6 weeks and seen him twice. I’ve worked in  Boston almost 20 years, and never come across this local character….until today.  I am probably the only person in Boston more excited about seeing Keytar Bear than I was about Wally the Green Monster coming to work today.

This afternoon, I went to lift a box off of another box, but it was stuck.  Stuck like glue.  Then I noticed a trail of sticky looking stuff running down the front of the shelves.  I followed it to its source, on the top shelf, and discovered a half empty bottle of corn syrup.  Not a nice surprise in the middle of an already busy day…

I bet they’re going to check out some Mother Goose stories.

Stephen and Sarah’s wedding was today at the Butterfly Place in Westford.  While we waited for the ceremony to begin, we wandered around, enjoying the residents.

Today at work, this happened.  My coworker Dianne got inside this barrel, which was decorated with foam pieces, and painted by some nearby toddlers. Then, 2 other coworkers pushed her across the ground to make a nifty pattern on a piece of paper.  Because that’s what happens during my workday.

During tonight’s harbor cruise (that I attended as a work thing), we got a good look at the Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian training ship.  She’s big. Mighty big.

As I walked to work this morning, this happy group of people was hard to miss.  I stopped to ask what was going on.  “Engagement!”  I was told.  “Oh!  Who’s proposing to whom?” I asked.  “Oh, no.  They’re in the water [I assume she meant on a boat].  It’s a surprise. They don’t know we’re here.”
So….someone’s proposing and doesn’t know it? That IS a surprise. Ah well.  Congratulations to all, anyway.

I had a pedicure today, but since it was cold, I put socks on when I got home.  So when I got ready for bed and took my socks off, my blue toenails were a bit of a surprise.
