on friday night I had a birthday dinner at my house for my favorite neighbor: meat loaf, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach & apple pie (too busy to take pictures!)

we occasionally encountered some misbehaving cats over the weekend:

i baked a loaf of bread & made whoopie pies:

we enjoyed the bread on the patio during an overcast morning:

i bought two new lamps for our bedroom and put existing lamps in the guest room (new lamps not shown):

spent a lot of time in my office/work room:

we went to Pacifica to watch the Red Sox vs. Yankees as well as the Patriots game. We stopped at the beach along the way….

we ate turkey chili & cornbread muffins

-we watched Fargo

-i went for a hike

-i played on the internet (til 3am!)

-i tried clothes on for our trip

-we went shopping for a jacket

-i bought some magazines

-i didn’t sleep as much as i wanted to

Now I’m off to make one of my favorite soups & watch Martha on my TIVO. Happy Monday!
