Westin Boston Waterfront

Ok, Kyra gets the prize for most delinquent posting. Its been almost a year since she went to Europe! We want to see more of your pictures, Kyra! After we picked up our luggage from the carousel in the terminal (Logan Airport), we didn't know what to do or where to go so I suggested that we go outside to the hotel shuttle pickup to see if our hotel had one. It was really cold out there! We found the pickup spot but alas! no Westin hotel pickup listed. We went back in to the shuttle board and saw it wasn't listed there either so we called the hotel to ask them if they had one and they said they didn't, to just get a cab. Well, you know Kevin--"I'm not getting a cab". By the time we figured out we could take the subway, we had been there for about an hour. This was my first experience on the subway and it was nice. It took us under the ocean (the airport is on an island!). It wasn't too far to our hotel from the station (World Trade Center Station) as you can see from this picture--less than a block. We walked over a pedestrian bridge that spanned the new Interstate (the Big Dig).

Shoes

What do you think? Aren't they cute?!!! I bought them for Danny and Jenny's wedding. Now for the dress!

Shock!

Before you read this, you might want to sit down. I'm actually cooking dinner tonight! Cody and I went shopping and I was picking out a frozen lasagne dinner and he suggested I make real lasagne. Oh, and I couldn't make the microwave version. So I bought all the ingredients and it is now baking in the oven!! I've never used this recipe before--I bought lasagne sheets that don't need to be boiled. I hope it turns out ok. I'll post a picture after its done baking. Yummy!

My Birthday!

Yesterday was my birthday so I bought a tiara to wear while I was working. That was alot of fun and I got a lot of questions and comments from customers and co-workers alike. I would have a picture of me to post but I gave the tiara to a friend's daughter who calls me "her girl". When I tried to hand it to her, she said "No. that's yours." Whenever they come in the store, Jenny, (that's the little girl's name) asks her mom, "Where's my girl?". Isn't that the cutest? So, when they stopped to say hi they noticed the tiara and then sang happy birthday to me when I told them it was my birthday. That was pretty nice! And to top it off when I got home and looked in the mirror, there was a birthday message written from Cody. Thanks, Toad.
Kevin and I went to McPhee's in Templeton for dinner tonight. I had Macadamia Crusted Halibut and Dad had steak. Yummy! Of course, we finished it off with Creme Brulee.

Yes, we are still having Out-to-Lunch Bunch once a month. Pictured here left to right: Lillie, Kathleen, Ruth and Peggy. We thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers at Bella Notte, a new restaurant located near Food4Less. I chose the bruschetta fresca and stuffed mushrooms. It was so delicious!











Lillie chose her favorite (she'd been there before) calamari and mozzarella patties.
Ruth and Peggy ordered Eggplant Parmesan.

Breakfast

No one should have to go to work hungry. That's what I thought to myself the other day. I was awake pretty early so I thought I would make dad an omelet. I finally discovered the secret to a perfect omelet! Make sure the pan is oiled. I just put a dab of butter in the pan and when it was melted wiped it around with a paper towel. Look how beautiful! Too bad I didn't have any parsley.

One for Kyra

Dad snapped this picture. He was in charge of the camera that day at the Griffith's. left to right: Tiana (cousin to Brianna), Brianna, Tara
