Greg and I went with friends to the Big E, the Eastern States Exposition. We ate fair food and saw the farm animals. They didn't have the delicious Vermont milk I had last year, but we did see and eat lots of great stuff. The photo above is of our friend Dave showing us new lace tying techniques. If your shoelace bow is more vertical down your foot than horizontal across your ankle, it's more likely to come untied. I didn't expect to learn that at the Big E!The photo below is of Greg getting a Vitamix, a powerful blending machine. Greg has gone to the Big E and sat through the Vitamix presentation for at least 15 years, and this year, we bought one. It's powerful engine can liquefy strawberry seeds so your body can make use of those nutrients, rather than just passing them through. That's just one of the amazing things about a Vitamix. Another thing is that it's encouraging us to cook more and eat more produce. It's fun, easy, and nutritious.
From the machine below, you can buy a Charlie card (for public transit) or add more money to your card. This particular machine is, as you can see, only for debit or credit cards. But the screen reads, "Sorry, no credit or debit cards accepted." Dumb system if you ask me. I used a different machine.
Greg and I moved in together! We traded our two studio apartments for a two-bedroom. There's so much more space, and Greg and I are really enjoying living together. Greg and Billy get along swimmingly, too.Greg is red-green colorblind. This is how he paired my socks when we did laundry. I cracked up.
There aren't too many pics of the new apartment yet because we're still unpacking and haven't started decorating yet. But here's our hall as Billy helps Greg tie his shoes.
My last apartment faced the air shaft, so the only view was of other apartment windows. Now Billy can look out the window at trees, people walking down the street, birds, etc.
Here's our bedroom.
And here's part of the living room where Billy is about to help Greg with his homework. Greg's taking a class for fun through the Harvard extension school on Artificial Intelligence.
I'll post more apartment pics once we're a little more pulled together...
The house had everything we needed. Greg found a fishing pole and he and Logan did some catch and release.
