Tuesday SOL 9/6/16 - Planning Our Next Trip to the Northeast

We've been talking about it since last Spring.  A vacation to some place we've never been.  The anticipation is building and we're counting the days - 18.  All the sights to see, where to visit, what do we really want to experience.

Our son and daughter-in-law are going with us.  They've visited this city once before, but are just as excited to see it all again and more.  The hotels and flights are booked, many posts have been made to our special file on Pinterest.

We're checking the weather, hoping it will be mild with no rain.  Contemplating what we need in our suitcases and carry-ons.

In a couple of weeks we'll be driving to IL and then board a United airline flight to Boston.

We're staying a couple of days in Cape Cod, then driving to Laconia, NH in the White Mountains to see the fall colors, covered bridges, a winery or two, small quaint villages along the way, a ride on the Cog Railroad and who knows what else we might find.  We'll head to Portland, ME for a day and then to Boston to take in as many historical sights as we can possibly fit in.

Oh, did I mention we might stop and eat some lobster!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
