Sunny Days in Boston and elsewhere too!

The weather in Boston was excellent. Whenever I visit, I thoroughly enjoy the hiking trails through a large wooded open space only a couple of blocks from Emily’s house.

Gardening is Emily’s favorite activity (other than taking care of her kids). When she can do both at the same time – even better!

We had been planning to go apple picking the first Saturday I was there, but the kid’s nanny, Kari, had accidentally taken Emily’s car keys with her over the weekend, and Bryan couldn’t find his. I didn’t mind, I was happy to stay home. Kari came over the next day to return the keys, with her boyfriend Ryan, in his very fancy classic car.

Meanwhile, back in Tucson, John sent me these photos. We were getting typical monsoon weather for late summer. It’s crazy, sometimes we’ll get slush and hail when it’s over 100º out. I love the summer weather in Tucson, but I understand why a lot of people don’t.

While I’m posting photos of elsewhere, here’s a fun photo Laura sent that week; Pride Parade! Laura’s much better at taking selfies than I am.

I was also getting really nice photos from Tracey who was visiting Ireland. Here she is with her daughter, Amy. Amy helps me with technical issues with my websites and this blog, so we all have Amy to thank!

What a beautiful trip!

If you’re not reading my bla-bla-bla and just skimming through pictures, you’re going to be like, what the heck? That doesn’t look like Boston! No, no it doesn’t.

Meanwhile I continued to steadily get selfies of Callan and Guen (aka Chirstina) in front of their gym. Way to go! Keep up the good workouts!

Then John had to go on a business trip to New Mexico. While there, he was able to take a quick hike in White Sands.

If you’re wondering what could possibly have taken John out to middle-of-nowhere central New Mexico on a business trip – there’s an Air Force base out there.

Poor John had barely gotten back from New Mexico when it was time to get back on the plane and join me in Boston! More about that next post.
