38/365 "Best Wedding Gift Ever"

Or that is what Andy claims!  I think it was a hilarious gift!  Inside are Star Wars cookie cutters.  I'm sure the next time I make the cookies I'll blog about it.  This was a gift from our friend Sarah (RARS).  She also gave us a thoughtful picture and frame, as well as a lovely tapestry that she got for us at a market in Pakistan.  But you've gotta love the lunchbox!

37/365 mardis gras?

So I know that Mardis Gras is coming up... (Tuesday March 8th)  But our neighbor has been celebrating all year it seems... he often has these beads hung around our yard.  The weathervane... okay... but the beads?  At least it is colorful!

36/365 - Manicures!

Today we were visiting in Rochester.  Jennie came along and gave Sofia and me each a manicure!  Here's Sof's ... doesn't she look amazing?

The highlight of the manicure was that the color was the same that we wore for our wedding!  

35/365 - Ice

Our latest storm left Wellesley in a winter wonderland of ice.  I love how the sun was making the trees just glisten!  And I'm still loving winter.  It seems that everyone in New England is hating the amount of snow and winter weather we've had.  I'm still loving it!

34/365 February 3, 2011

Thursday, the 3rd was Jan's birthday.  Andy saw that Somerville High School was putting on the musical of Willy Wonka.  He thought this would be a great way to honor Jan's memory because it is something she would have done, and it would be a way for us to support our community.  So Bec, Frank, Jennie, Andy, Sheri, and John and I all went.  It was terrible.  But fun, and we were glad to go.  Then we went to Highland Kitchen for a lovely dinner.  An entertaining evening to say the least.

So many people are complaining about all the snow we have.  But I'm glad not everyone is being a scrooge. Take a look at this snowman taking a nap!

32/365 Disco!

How many of you have a disco ball hanging in your yard?  Not many?  Well we do!  Yes, our stoner neighbor (the 50 something bike messenger) has an eclectic sense of taste.  Last summer the disco ball appeared hanging in the grape arbor of our house.  Interesting to say the least.

But he is a really nice guy.  This summer on my birthday I ran into him as I was watering my flowers and he wished me a happy birthday.  That evening when he came home he brought me a topsy turvy tomato hanger.  He was so sweet to do that!

Anyway, you never know what he is going to decorate the lawn with next.  Sometimes there's pictures out there.  Sometimes pinwheels.  I assume that over this next year I'll be posting more pictures of these amusing decorations.
