Fireplace

Photo-A-Day #646

Today Allison and I went to Mass (and by the count of our envelopes we hadn’t made it in a while.) We always enjoy Mass when Fr. Dave is presiding. He gave a very nice homily today. On the way out of Mass he told me that one of my friends from childhood is getting married. I’m very happy to hear that. I wanted to catch her brother after Mass but he disappeared before I could flag him down.

After Mass Allison and I had a late breakfast at JD’s, a local restaurant that has really good breakfast. Then we got home and finished putting away all of the books that had been on the table and I went through the files and consolidated, shredded and filed. Everything is in order now.

We spent the late afternoon watching the Patriots beat the Chargers downstairs with my Dad. Mom got a last minute invite to go see Wicked. That is a play that I hear nothing but good reviews about. I hope she liked it.

For the game Allison made Buffalo Chicken dip and it was fantastic. Very filling, I have a ton left, we should freeze it for next Sunday’s game. We also had a great Chili that my mom made. I am always mesmerized by the fireplace downstairs. I had to try and get a picture. So even though the wood is a little blurry it was the way the fire made designs that I wanted to capture tonight.

I finished Mystic River this morning also. It was a decent read.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
