Happy Father's Day

Celebrate with ice cream! Ron's Gourmet Ice Cream shop on High St. in Dedham has amazing homemade ice cream and makes the best and thickest frappes. They were always my dad's favorite. He used to bring me to the bowling alley in Hyde Park where they served there until the shop in Dedham opened.

What a treat! An incredibly thick and chocolatey frappe. In Massachusetts, a frappe is ice cream, milk and flavoring (such as Hershey's chocolate syrup). 

Oh the weather outside is...amazing

The past few days have been incredibly beautiful, weather-wise. It makes one want to be outside all the time.

This has been keeping me moving lately - 

Rodrigo y Gabriela. Fantastic album!

Trip planning is in full swing. 

Upcoming in June:

DC

San Diego

Las Vegas 

Whatever the weather

First snowfall, short and sweet. Ending with a beautiful sunset. 

Lunch with a view

It was a lovely and cool fall day...

Outside my window

Fall is in full bloom. The chill is back in the air. Before we know it the clocks will be turned back. 

"We're getting the gang back together"

Last night was spent with friends, old and new, all of whom were made possible by a British science fiction television show and the fan club that celebrated it.

Fall is here...

Along with Indian summer.  What a beautiful Friday this turned into. And welcome it was after a long, short week (Columbus Day)

Taking its toll

Early morning trip to the airport

Selfie Sunday - At home

Selfie Sunday - At home, a photo by black and white all over on Flickr.

Mom's visiting. I'm just waiting around for her to arrive.

Getting stuff done

Weekends don't always have to be for errands. Not if you plan your after-work weekdays right. But every once in a while something comes up that you can only get to on a Saturday. 

Waiting for the inspection sticker for my car. 

Reward later - afternoon tea at Heath Tea Room in Rockport!

TGIF

Home for a little while. Time to relax. I love Friday nights.

Rainy day

In our nation's capitol. 

A photo a day keeps the doctor away

In an effort to keep myself writing and to appreciate what is going on around me, I am going to post a picture (or two) every day.
