An elegant evening was planned as a surprise for last night, a sort of pre-holiday relaxing evening. A babysitter was hired for the kids and a kid gourmet meal of mac & cheese was served. While the children dined on their fine food, the two of us got dressed in more formal attire for dinner at an upscale dining establishment.
The meals at our destination were excellent. However, after a 4-course meal, I was unable to finish my meal. The waitress graciously packed my remaining lamb chops for me to enjoy at home. Unbeknownst to me at that time, this was the start of a

Being without children the other day, we were able to browse while grocery and baby shopping. As we walked leisurely through our favorite small and funky grocery store, we were able to find new products that we had not tried before.

On a steamy summer day, one can close her eyes and imagine that instead of being in a small New England town she is on a tropical island. The air is hot and humid with the sun high overhead.
