Weekend – MA & RI

Now that Blogger has apparently decided it likes photos again, I can talk about my weekend. I went to down to MA to spend the weekend with a very good friend of mine who is about to leave for the wilds of Texas to get her Master’s. It was a great weekend. We managed ice cream on Friday at one of the extremely hopping local places (looks like Little League and Soccer had both just gotten out).

The next day, we headed down to RI, and spent the day hanging out at the family beach house. It was absolutely lovely out. The ocean water felt like lake water (well, at lower tide at least. There was definitely a little kick to it later). There are baby red wing blackbirds and grackles all over the place near the house, so the whole place was alive with bird song.

On Sunday, we managed a marathon shopping trip at the Wrentham outlets. I think I’m actually set for summer clothes now, which is a pretty good accomplishment.
It was really a lovely weekend, and it was pretty hard to drag my butt into work on Monday. Fortunately, things are interesting enough with the new job that I got over that pretty quickly.

2023 Note: Reader, I still have this job. It’s still interesting. I know I’m very lucky to be able to say that.
