Fun times in Boston, despite the Nor'Easter

Well I manged to visit Boston between the Nor'Easters!  Only one day of the whole trip was really horrible and that was Friday night when we ventured out to go shopping!  The umbrellas were a total fail in the horrible winds!  Thanks goodness the shopping was inside!




Saturday was spent wandering around Brookline and the local shops and of course Trader Joes!!
The highlight of Saturday was going to see "Waitress".



We were way back in the rafters but that was fine.  It allowed me to bring my contraband of snacks in!!   It also gave us a great view of the lovely Boston Opera House.





On Sunday we went to a lovely old church on the Boston College campus.  There were some very talented vocalist in their choir!

We had brunch at our favorite local spot and then headed over the the Boston Museum of Art.  I realize I really don't get modern art, but the they had plenty of classics to admire, along with some mummies!











Sunday night we watched the Oscars and did a little facial therapy!  I would of included a picture but I promised I wouldn't put it out for the world to see!


Monday was a little more shopping this time in Copley and in the Back Bay area.  I took pictures of somethings that inspired me, thinking that I could make these myself!!




It was a jammed packed week and I had the absolute best time, despite the weather.   Until next time Boston!!  ðŸ’œ

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic.  But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again.  There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant".  There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized.  At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated.  We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Let's start again....

 WOW...Where do you start? You would of thought that I would of wanted to do this blog during the pandemic...but I didn't.  I always wonder why I start and stop...why I can't keep up.  Maybe I run out of things to say or maybe there is just too much going on to share my thoughts on a blog post.  Who knows? What did get me starting to think about blogging again was a question that was asked from someone I follow...."how do you record your projects, do you use Instagram, Facebook, blog, paper..?"  Which led to a bigger question... what do you want to record... your life, your projects, your travels??  That is alot to put out to the world.. But I think what I do want to record are my projects...the hows, they whys and especially the "whats".   What yarn did I use to make that teddy bear, what size needle did I use to knit that blanket, what was the free pattern for that quilt? So here I am again attempting to document yet again.   I am real...

July Happenings...

Since these are catch up posts for the month of July, here are the other happenings.... What do you do with all of those flowers left over from a wedding?  You decorate your house with them! Hubby had a birthday...  And a visit was made to see great-grandpa in Lawrence.  Someone loved moving the bed up and down.  Three generations of the Pacumbaba clan These mug rugs were made for hard working colleagues who had dealt with the fire recovery and are still dealing with the fire recovery.  The inspiration for the mug rugs came from here . Mimi got a new house cleaner... And as a reward she got to spend lots of time at the pool... eating snacks of course! And Mimi and Papa did some baby sitting...  We did not know we weren't supposed to play with Mama's makeup... And another visit was made to celebrate dad's birthday... And since it is July, it is peach jam time! We got our bikes out for the first t...
