    I enjoyed seeing your fun Halloween cards - incoming and outgoing. The pumpkin display on the stairs is very charming. I sure could go for some of the apple crisp and ice cream - one of my favorite desserts.

    Happy T-Day! Stay safe and stay well. Hugs, Eileen

    I'm thankful for your friendship and your lovely post. I wish we lived closer so I could be thankful for some apple crisp with a cuppa.

    Thank you for sharing your lovely flowers with us, as well as the cards you received. I love the ones you made, especially the Covid creme de la menthe. LOVED your walk in the neighborhood and the pumpkins and sign of the times. Thanks for sharing these, your apple pie and your cuppa with us for T this Tuesday, Nan.

Get Mail, Set Sail...T stands for Tall Ships

The tall ships are in Boston this weekend. They arrived Saturday, and it was foggy.  Luckily, we had been invited to a party on Sunday... on a chartered yacht. I think I missed my calling.. Seas the day! I's a birthday party! Sunday proved to have fantastic weather, with quite a breeze to keep us comfortable. Boston Harbor Wind in our hair This was the perfect occasion to pull out my Lilly Pulitzer you gotta regatta dress! And boy did we regatta! The crew circulated with all sorts of appetizers and I had  a spiked cranberry seltzer... Boston with a twist and a little kick. Here are some of the ships we saw on our voyage Seen in Boston... Fi and me We cruised down as far as Hull and then it was back to City. Boston skyline Zakim Bridge Docked and back on dry land, we will remember our birthday bash on the water for quite a while. Smooth sailing to you.

Patriots Day is a holiday here...a funny sort of holiday, because some people have off and others don't. Fortunately for me, Fi had off, so that meant some quality time together. I am a firm believer if there is an opportunity for fun together, you need to go for it and make it special in some small way. We started our day with a trip to Swiss Bakers, whose motto is "our food makes you feel good". No false advertising there, they are right. swiss bakers, store front ham and cheese croissant We were fortunate enough to find Swiss Bakers through a groupon deal a few years ago, and it was a find. It's not a big place, but it has a variety of savory and sweet croissants, freshly baked breads, and rolls.  So that we would make the most of our visit, we grabbed a raspberry almond croissant for that evening.

T stands for time together with my sister in one of our favorite neighborhood bistros. Cibo Cibo translates to uncomplicated, unpretentious casual food and drink, which describes our weekly get together perfectly. Raspberry lemonade prosecco and bruschetta I love these moments, a great chance to catch up and talk about all sorts of fun things. We both love fashion, reading, psychology, classic movies, and family.  I have been reading Writing with Quiet Hands. The book is inspirational, full of wonderful tips and quotes, and a great book for self reflection. I have been thinking about what I like to read, and consequently my voice in writing. I have also been thinking about word choice. I find haiku really challenging, but when I read it, I think it can be simple and beautiful. Part of my transformation challenge is to bring poetry into the moment. Here's my haiku for today's special moment with Nish. Camaraderie Sisters, memories Reminiscing and laughing em...
