I'm jealous of all the folks out there who have their own spots to blog their thoughts. So that, combined with my mother telling me how much her friends want more "Team Mary" type updates, has led me to blogspot. Not sure how long or how often I will be here, but here it goes.
Let's talk about the fantastic BBQ we threw this weekend! Monday at noon or so I called some folks and invited them over for so social time in the backyard. Of course, 3 hours notice doesn't exactly bring people out of the woodwork, but we had a nice small group. My neighbor Linda, Josie and Ayden (with George and Lily for a short amount of time), Mary, Stu, Jadey, Jeff, Karen and Rachey enjoyed Turkey tips, Steak tips and chicken grilled to perfection by Corey cakes. I made a couple salads and some veggies and we had a delightful time. Couldn't ask for a better way to "end" the summer and kick off Rachey's school year than that. Sadly, Nick couldn't make it as he had to work. But as I say, silly work, always gets in the way.
As for those who may pass through here, looking for a Team Mary update...she
is doing FANTASTIC!!!! She reached the ripe young age of 65 and gladly joined the Medicare ranks in June. She and Stu the Pooh are spending the summer going on Geriatric Field Trips with the Biddies and the boys, mostly from their Florida group. Their first outing was up Canon mountain in the Tram, across the Kank and then to the Christmas Tree shop! The second one was the Alpine slide at Attitash, and I believe it was followed by the Christmas Tree shop!! Today they are lunching at Patrick's Pub after scuttling plans to go to Portland, Maine to do the Old Port. I'm sure that trip would have included the Christmas Tree shop too!!! :) Thank goodness she got a great report from Dartmouth and doesn't have to go back until next year, or she wouldn't be able to keep up on these field trips!
I almost named this blog...when will I become my mom!!!
And on one last note, I am sure this blog will include MANY pictures of sweet Jade doggy. She is the best little black pug dog ever and I think the world is ready to hear that! Would could ask for a better dog? Last night she hogged the bed and when I tried to put her on the floor, she moved as far away from me as possible. Luckily that landed her on Corey's head and he put her on the floor. She is so spoiled! HA!!
