Living graciously in another era

This weekend Larry and I are taking the train from Exeter to Boston for the annual Boston Antiques Weekend being held in the convention center. Art, antiques, books, linens, textiles, period clothing, a fashion show and seminars ~~ and of course, all the vendors and potential for making wonderful, one-of-a-kind purchases. The exhibits and seminars are all weekend long but granddaughter, Victoria and her dad are joining us on Sunday afternoon. Larry and Michael are going to a Celtics game; Victoria and I are going to see Blue Man Group. Mostly, I am just thrilled to be spending time with my lady, Victoria. We come back home on Monday so all in all it promises to be a fine long weekend and the weather forecast is looking pretty good, too.


This is my sweet Victoria. Middle schooler, drama queen in every sense of the word, soccer & softball player, budding thespian, chorus member, honor roll student.

A special young lady.

I admit to bias.

I am entitled to brag.
