Pretty in Pink

The pictures are of the "The Girls" My sister Carol's grand daughters. She sent me the pictures the other day.

K is on the left and L is on the right. If I could only get my hands on the pictures our mother has of Carol's dance recital she was in during out years living in Winthrop, MA. I'd put that picture in between t"the girls" for a fun comparison. Now that would be a great look. I think "the girls" are so cute and they do look different as they age.

Today is the day

Here's a picture of my Mom at my niece, Lisa wedding. Mom is 81 years old, oops not sure if I should mention a lady's age, hehehehehe

I'm not going into work today, but going to the Leahy Clinic in Burlington, MA to be with my Dad, brother Jimmy, his wife Daisy, and my sister Dottie. My Mom is going in for a biopsy of her upper right lung. The procedure should take about 50 minutes and she'll have to wait about an hour after before she can leave to go home. The Hospital wants to make sure her lung doesn't collapse. Not sure what to expect and it will be a while before we get the results.

Walking the Cape Cod Canal

This morning Michael and I walked the Cape Cod Canal on the Cape side. Starting off at 9am this morning it was a little cool, but after a while it seemed hot out there and we were grateful for the occasional shade from a tree on the path. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed but people on bike/walking paths seem to be more friendly than on sidewalks in any city of town. When I live in Somerville and took the Minute Man bike path out to my parents in Billerica people would always be exchanging some sort of pleasantry. Ahh the days of 20 miles bike rides each way out to Alice and Gabe's house, what fun.

Here are some pictures I took this morning on the Canal pathway.
Here's the first tree that has completely changed color. It won't be long before all the trees change color.

Going to the beach after work today

We drove the convertible to work today and it was such a great day to drive to and from work with the top down. Not many more of these days left.
When we got home I let Pumpkin Pie out. Here she is walking around the yard with me as I wait for Michael so we can walk on the beach. Pumpkin got bored hanging out with me and ran into the brush looking for new friends to kill, come on, she's a cat it's part of life. Okay I don't want to see her killing anything.

What a day it must have been on the beach today this is what it looked like when we got there at 5:30.

Walking up the road I liked this picture of the compound, that's what we call it.

And here's a picture of sunset from our bedroom deck

My Mother

I got the call today, my mother said she wanted to talk to me for a few minutes, I knew something wasn't right.
When she fell down over two weeks ago and cracked her head open, she had an MRI done, well they found something, she has a spot on her upper right side of her lungs. She has a few more test that need to be done this week and a week from this Tuesday she'll be going in for a biopsy, going threw her nose, down her throat. They will take what they need and let her know what is going on.

One week later

It's been a quiet week, well sort of, at work, week two of the yearly audit is over and only two more weeks to go. Another hurricane hits the USA, it looks like major damage happened in Texas and Louisiana. When I see the damage done by the storms I'll take a snow storm anytime.

Day after Hanna

We waited all day for the storm to hit and all we got was about one inch of rain but strong winds. The only damage we had was a three foot tall pot with a four foot red grass in next to the front door on the deck, that fell over and broke. The stretch of road in front of the house looks like a pond right now with all the birds going into it. That should be gone before the day is over. I have a couple of picture but the camera is the car and will load them in later.
