I love these two.  Both Casey and Greg came home for Father's Day weekend!  We had tons of fun and enjoyed each others' company.  Sunday night we ended the weekend by playing tennis.  I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.  Larry and I are so blessed.

Happy Father's Day Dad!  You were such a wonderful father and I miss you so very much.

After a long week of working and rain occurring on most days, I was able to get into the garden yesterday and pick the peas.  I picked enough for 2 dinner servings for all of us and will probably pull them out of the freezer for Thanksgiving.  It was a very good crop and I am considering putting in a late crop of peas.  It's funny how I really don't care for peas except fresh from our garden.


The yellow squash is looking good and we should have a bumper crop of that.  I can't wait for the fresh tomatoes.

Back from a wonderful visit with Casey in Boston.  She was moving from Braintree to Quincy and we went out to help her move.  Thursday was a very busy day with making 3 trips with the U haul and van between the 2 places and cleaning out the old place.  We finished around 4:30 pm and were dead tired.  It was worth it as her new apartment is perfectly located for commuting into Boston and has a very nice layout.

Friday was spent sightseeing and enjoying Boston.  Larry and I started the day with the tours of John Adam's birthplace, first home and Peacefield (his and Abigail's home).  It turns out that Peacefield is less than 1 mile from Casey's apartment and is on a great street for running or riding her bike.  After our tours, we headed to Casey's and met up with her and Cyrus.  We had lunch at a very nice restaurant in Quincy (Mexican, yummmm!) and then headed into Boston to go to the Aquarium.  It was a beautiful day and we walked along the Rose Fitzgerald Parkway, Fanueil Hall and spent a long time at the aquarium.  It was a long day and we were all beat, but we had so much fun.
