Friday, December 30th, 2005

For Christmas Chuck got me a surprise gadget .. the Brother P-touch QL-500 Label Maker. I thought it looked interesting but I didn’t imagine how much I’d enjoy it!

Blogging from My New Laptop

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

I’ve just gotten a new laptop and I’m trying it out by writing a new Blog. It’s been 6 years since I’ve gotten a new laptop and it’s exciting to have such a bright wide screen. I got a 15 inch widescreen - I couldn’t quite swallow the $ of the 17 inch. So I [...]

Dick Treat is on the Road to Recovery

Monday, December 26th, 2005

On Christmas Eve we stopped by to visit our dear friend, Dick Treat, who is recovering from a terrible farm accident. He’s doing just terrific - making great progress.

Christmas Eve at my sister, Carolyn’s is a family tradition. It includes lots of good food, usually some games for the younger set, a family photo and a yankee swap. We got a little carried away with the family photos and you can see the resulting clowning around.

Merry Christmas Eve

Saturday, December 24th, 2005

Mystic is especially beautiful this Christmastime. The shops are all draped in evergreen roping with wreaths and red ribbons. They have all been outlined in white lights and even the rigging on the ship on the river is lit. I love driving through town and seeing the festivities and bustle. A [...]

New York is a very special place during the holidays. It is so festive and exciting. Rockefeller Center is always spectacular. The windows at Saks are a wonderland. Chuck and I had a wonderful day there last week. We visited the Van Gogh exhibit at the Met - which was wonderful. We visited our own [...]

The Coast Guard House - Brunch Recommendation

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

My very favorite restaurant for brunch is the Coast Guard House in Narragansett, RI. It not only has wonderful food it has the most fantastic view of the water. The Coast Guard House is perched on top of the rocky shore right over the water and the tables are arranged next to the windows around [...]
