With our anniversary very close now, I thought I'd share about how we met!  I was a senior in high school and my prom was coming up. I had gone to Conn. for a boyfriend's graduation, and prom and the understanding was that he would then come to mine. Only about a week before Prom, his mother nixed his going!!  At school next day, I was 'moaning' to ( Read more... )

Our wedding was Sept.19, 1964, so we are only 9 days away from our anniversary!  I am so thankful for the great guy I married! 

we have a lovely blue sky with just a few wispy clouds today. Hubby is watching (what else?) a car race, and son has gone back to bed for more rest. Last night we had a 'traditional' saturday night supper, beans and hotdogs, though the beans were mixed white and red beans, not the usual 'baked' beans.I'lve put baked beans on my shopping list, but I ( Read more... )

Yesterday Hubby and I made the long drive to Bridgewater for my Brother-in-law's funeral. I was heartened by the lovely/loving Church community that was being so supportive of the family!  The priest was gental and supportive and I wished we had such a man in our community! We spent a little time with my sister after the ceremony, but Hubby was ( Read more... )

Yeserday we got the news that my sister's husband had sucumbed to the Lymphoma. We have no further details of wake/funeral,etc.,but I expect she and her children will be making those kinds of decisions over the next day or two. I wish they did not live so far away. Please keep them in your prayers.                   Meanwhile, Hubby and son are ( Read more... )

Yesterday we got the sad news that my sister's husband had succumbed to the lymphoma. Please keep his wife and family in your prayers. We have no info yet on funeral arrangements. I wish my sister lived closer. At least I know she has good neighbors and I believe several of her children live near her. 

Hot and 'sticky' today. hubby and son have both left for work. As usual, Hubby left my 'oldies' on; right now they are playing 'Rock around the Clock'.  Yesterday we went to Houghton's Pond and I did lots of swimming while Hubby sat in the shade. I didn't realize until the ride home that Hubby had wanted to walk around the pond as we usually do, ( Read more... )

Today I got a message from my sister;Jeanne ; her husband has been diagnosed with an agressive case of Lymphoma!  I'd appreciate prayers for her and her husband and their children!! I'll update this when I get any new info. Thank you!

Here in Massachusetts,USA we have a town called "Raynam", and Hubby and I lived there about 5 years early in our marriage. It was the first house we owned and we made some good friends there. When the commute to Boston got too much, we moved back closer to Boston, to a town called Dedham (deeded hamlet). The home of the first settlers is still ( Read more... )

Good Morning!  We have a blue sky with puffy white clouds, no sign of rain or problems! The winds we had yesterday brought down branches here and there, but nothing major,thank goodness! I was quite worried about our dying tree, but there weren't as many  downed branches  as I thought there might be.   Hubby is working today, but my son is home on ( Read more... )
