On Sunday, archery for Ben was a hoot. He enjoyed himself and even hit the target a few times. John did grandfather duty while Anne and Eric spent two hours hitting bulls-eyes. The woods out in Carlisle at their friends’ home are that late summer deep green just before the colors begin.
After that we picked up Stacy and headed to Watertown to our favorite diner, the Town Deluxe Diner, where we enjoyed salads and some Allagash White beer and a lox and bagel for Ben. Then we headed into Harvard Square to see the students unloading their U-hauls and saying good bye to their parents for another year of school. The Yard was full of tourists, but Ben had a wonderful time showing our Texas friend Stacy all over the campus and where he had lived as an undergraduate. We completed the day with a visit to Stacy’s new apartment for the next nine months in Somerville and tour to Fletcher School at Tufts where she is studying as part of her War College program before returning to the VA.
In the evening, we had Anne’s favorite waffles and an early night.
Monday, we had coffee at True Grounds in Somerville, got some wine from the Ball Square Wine Shop, an excellent place, and then had lunch at Blue Shirt Cafe on Davis Square. The weather was perfect, grandson was in great shape and it was good to be out. We spent the afternoon at home, having a good visit, John being grandfather with a baby fast asleep on his chest for two hours.
In the evening we got three deluxe pizzas from Za on Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington. One with sliced zucchini, mozzarella, parmesan and dried tomato sauce, another with tomatoes, portobello mushrooms, and roasted garlic and the third figs and gorgonzola. Not much left after the four of us enjoyed them.
Another early night.
This morning we leave for Rhode Island, though the weather has turned chilly and wet. It will pass quickly, we hope.
