Party...Old Dominion, Thomas Rhett, and Kenny Chesney style...

Ready to rock...country style..
Fi treated me to this end of summer concert at Gillette Stadium...the weather was perfect, and the music awesome. So much great story telling in song...the music rose to the heavens, which was a good thing, because that's where we were...

sunset in Foxboro

When you are up in the clouds you get the added bonus of seeing the sunset at eye level. We had a great time and a lot of laughs.

Kenny's only stadium tour. this year
Kenny loves Boston and Boston loves Kenny, so it was a win for everyone there. Amazing songs, and so hard to pick a favorite...but as a true romantic, I think I am going with The Good Stuff.
Fun days out together are the good stuff for me...as a wind down of summer, Fi took the day off, out for Breakfast, some painting,...

Can you ever have enough mugs?

Did I mention I have the prettiest chauffeur?

Lunch,  great concert, some snacks and a breeze of a ride home...fun! Alas, summer's over...as evidenced by falling leaves and back to school.

How did that happen? It was a blink! I always think September makes a great time to reset some goals...and I have been slacking on some things that I really want to do.  Fi has started her MBA, so she will have plenty of structure and deadlines.  Karen posted her tracking plan and I really liked it, so I am going to adopt her method.  It might be just what I need to get the job done.

    oh what a perfect evening for a concert!! Granted I am not a huge country fan but i do enjoy some and I enjoy Kenny too- must be so many songs with an island/beachy feel:):)
    Oh my- and yes, how is it that fall is quickly sneaking in???
    Happy T day and thanks for sharing the pretty sunset, the concert, the mugs-ok, and even the pretty fallen leaf!

    Lovely post, the concert looks great. It's always so exciting to get to see and hear a concert live. And no, you can never have enough mugs. I have discovered though that I don't have enough cupboards! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

    I really enjoyed the beautiful photos you shared and the views of and from the concert. Although I'm not a country fan, I was in awe of the way Boston has treated Kenny. That setting sun photo was phenomenal, too.

    Those are beautiful mugs. They are both colorful and have whimsy. I was totally impressed.

    I was surprised to see the leaf in your driveway, because autumn is still just a memory in my hot world right now.

    Thanks for sharing your concert photos and those truly gorgeous new mugs you painted for T this Tuesday.

    What a great evening, I love live music and I bet I would have enjoyed the concert too! You always have so much fun and the views and sunset looked spectacular 😁. Your mugs are fab and a great reminder of happy arty time - I love it! You sure do have the prettiest chauffeur too...lol 😉. I like to set goals for myself, it gives me focus and it's so rewarding when you achieve them 😁. Wishing you a very Happy T Day! J 😊

    Beautiful sunset photos. Glad you enjoyed the concert. Love the mugs, especially the dark blue one. Did you paint them? Sweep that leaf of your driveway. I'm not ready to give up Summer, yet. (-; Stay dry today.

    What a great way to end summer! It feels like the end of summer here. I've had on light sweaters the last two days. Gorgeous photos of the concert.

    Ditto Karen's comment and tracker! Loved your description of the concert and your seats: "way up high...closer to heaven."
    Cheers~

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craft fair, we still hav

T stands for Transformation..

and nothing transforms like a butterfly...the metamorphosis is symbolic to so many cultures and religions. The butterfly offers an explanation of the life cycle, and in Christian faiths a symbol of resurrection. In Asian culture, butterflies symbolize long life and love. Native Americans see the butterfly as a symbol of color, change and joy. For them, wishes whispered to the butterfly rise to the heavens. To many people throughout the world, the butterfly symbolizes hope and change. Is it any wonder that I am always on the lookout for them? On our day trip to Ogunquit, I saw some beautiful gardens, lots of color, the ocean, and butterflies... spotted some butterflies... These butterflies were fluttering around in the beautiful gardens outside the Ogunquit Museum of American art. The sculpture garden, flowers and view were amazing. Art and Nature combined.. From here we walked the Marginal Way at Ogunquit, another of my favorite spots... Spectacula

T stands for Tranquility amid the turbulence...

Every click of the television remote or blast from the radio brings more aggressive news of hateful words and actions.  The stress of the situation is exacerbated by the sad fact that I have no impact over the current environment.  All of the lessons of history seem to be lost.   I can only hope that at some point peace, respect and common sense prevail.  Amid all of this discord and hostility, Nish and I went in search of some tranquility. There is no place it is easier  to find than in nature, so we headed to Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich. Majestic trees Beautiful Vista And then we moved through the labyrinth. Moving meditation Labyrinth move within, let go circle, center, continue  end, let go, begin The current exhibit is Painted Landscapes: Contemporary Views.  Some of my favorites:  So much inspiration taken from the beauty of nature. It was back outside to one of my favorite water features of the Gardens. Flume fountain in
