Doug carves the bird while my mom supervises; on the other side of the kitchen, Marla and Sarah dish up the cranberry sauce. Everyone else is drooling at the table.
naptime
my cousin Marla took a nap today while her brother and I ran a few errands. Parker provided support and expertise.
sharing is caring
in fact, somebody wants to share his donation bucket with whoever wanders by, so he just left it there.
health department
Leave it to Newton to put its Health Department in a quaint historic building.
coffee table books
Doug and I spent some quality time today relaxing on the couch and enjoying our respective books. Just guess who was reading which book.
shadow
This is Shadow the skunk. He came to work today. Intentionally.
cormorant
As this bird came in for a splash landing, the little girl ahead of me on the bridge called out “A swan!” to which her not-much-older sister replied, “No it’s not. It’s a duck.” As I passed them I told their mom what it really was. She was impressed.
fire!
the folks at Cosi make some really tasty bread. And here’s why:
office squatter
She’s been hanging out in an empty office. The new resident of said office will be moving in shortly. I see no reason why they can’t share.
oversized ornaments
it’s bad enough that BJs has huge boxes of cereal that probably go stale before any normal household can finish them, and cans of tuna that weigh in at 4 pounds, but can’t they at least have normal size Christmas tree ornaments?
(that’s my phone on top, for scale)
