Baird spent most of today up in Shutesbury finishing cleaning out the cellar. I spent the AM unpacking a van load of stuff from the other day and doing 12 of the 30 continuing ed credits I need to do in the next couple of weeks. The topic was adolescent girls and the book was Reviving Ophelia.... one of my favorites..... tho as Jess points out we really wish Pipher would do a follow up book or a revised edition. Anyway, it was a good study and I passed the on-line exam. So, 12 out of 30 CEU's done.
I also worked in my garden a bit and made a couple of bouquets. Here is a of shot of that.
Later on I went to Sunderland to pick up Jess and Ben who had done an 8 mile kayak of the Ct. River this afternoon. They saw a balk eagle and 3 loons. I met them and drove them back up north to get their car and we ate dinner at the Shady Glen Diner in Turners Falls. Six years ago the Greeen's had just moved here and we went on a hike in Shutesbury with them on Labor Day. The following weekend Jess and Ben did their first kayaking together.
Other news:
Aaron has been working the 6PM - 2AM shift at Antonio's. This includes the famous Bar Rush time, around 1 AM, when the local bars close and hundreds of young adults pour into the tiny Antonio's for a slice before heading home. The weekend was very busy but tonight is the first night all the students are back in town, and classes don't begin until Weds, so they are expecting a huge night. On top of that, Aaron has to switch shifts and be back at work there at 10AM (until 6PM) tomorrow.
Baird and I just got back from a walk bringing home hand packed ice cream from our neighborhood Ben and Jerry's...yum...yum.
The saddest news of today tho is that Barbara Hamilton (Gordon King's wife) died of the injuries sustained in the blast at their condo 2 weeks ago. See previous blog dated 8/17/06. Mr. King is now in fair condition at Mass General.
