Nina Simone: Why (The King of Love Is Dead)

Remembering my Mother's passing two years ago

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget."

A touching story of an old father, son and a sparrow

Sabor Restaurant

Last night Michael and I went to Sabor, 23 Court Street, Plymouth, MA, Tel 508.746.0707
The meal we had was outstanding.

Michael had roasted yellow beet salad with a fried goat cheese ball and a pork chop that was pan seared then baked in the oven, with sautéed vegetables.
I had a caesar salad with anchovies and butternut squash ravioli with sautéed portabella mushrooms in a sauce. We had a coconut cake for dessert that we split and a bottle of red wine.

Sabor is a small restaurant with on street parking, nine tables and seating at the bar. It's only a wine bar but they have a great selection of wine by the glass to complement whatever dish you’re having or a full bottle to share with others at your table.

We would go back again but want to try a few more restaurants in the downtown area of Plymouth.
I have my list and will post our likes and dislikes of each one.

Saturday evening in Plymouth Center for dinner

Going to Plymouth Center, this evening to try one of the restaurants there.
Most of the restaurants in Sandwich are closed for the season and the one's that are opened, close at 8 pm.  Now I ask you, who eats early?  I know when I was a kid we ate at 5 pm on the dot but as an adult, dinner can be anywhere from 7 to 11 pm, depending on where I am.
Will write about the place we end up going too, I hope the food and drinks are good.

Baranstable Courthouse

Nirvana Coffee Shop,  is located on Route 6A in Barnstable Village, across from Barnstable Courthouse. TThey have the best coffee and Michael and I go there for lattes every weekend.  Sometimes during the week I'll stop there for a latte and one of their great sandwich.

We were working over at the guest house today. Michael was placing insulation in the walls where the bathroom wall shares a common wall with the living room and bedroom.

I just swept the floor to clean up a bit before the drywall goes and get plastered starting tomorrow, Monday.
It's been taking forever to get to this point. The two car garage with the guest house shell over it, was built four years ago. All the builder had to do was put up a few walls upstairs and downstairs but it took him months. The rough for the electrician took just a few days and the plumbers took two full days. The drywall and plaster will take three day, five months for the builder, never again and will never recommend him again. We're not having him installing the deck to the guest house or around the pool.

Here's the view from the guest house deck.
