Meet Red Molly

This 1971 Saab 95 station wagon arrive in early October. I was owned by a man on Nantucket and his friend Graham told me about it. Graham, a Saab rally car driver, essentially rebuilt this wagon with his friend and assures me that it is is good running condition, best he's seen in this age group.

Fishing on Narragansett Bay

Back to boating and the Umbrella story

Moments after this picture was taken, my favorite umbrella from Cirque de Soleil was lifted out of the rod holder and flew over the water and dropped. Thinking it would float, we reached for it with the boat hook, but it went down into the water very quickly into 20 ft. of water. I was devastated. Then John got his fishing equipment together and started casting. After about 12 casts he pulls on something, slowly, very slowly, he pulled in the umbrella, hooked on the very tip of one section. We were both amazed at this entire scenario. I mean what are the chances?  My hero.

Tanglewood Visit - A Prairie Home Companion

 On June 25, we paid a visit to Tanglewood in Lenox, MA for a final performance of  A Prairie Home Companion. His last show will be tonight somewhere. We enjoyed the calm, peaceful setting, familiar performers and good food.

Finally, summer begins

Birthday with Joan Baez

In early April, Joan Baez performed at the Flynn theater in Burlington. No intro band, just Joan for 1.5 hours. It was wonderful. Dinner at the Pizza Verita did not disappoint with pizza making demonstrations by Griff . Took a cab to get around due to the Mardi Gras festivities, and had breakfast the next day at the Skinny Pancake on Lake St. A good time was had....
