Have a wicked good Wednesday! And a manatee.

Good morning! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

We had an exciting night. Friend came over and helped Hubby pull out our washer/dryer from it’s closet- cleaned it – and attached a new vent!

Fabulous! I’m in class all week learning about my new job. Mind blowing.
Enjoy the day!
Headed to NY for the weekend.

Smiling manatee and Legal Sea Foods

9:55 AM Sassy
Have a super Sunday! And a smiling manatee.

10:01 AM Sassy
Good morning kid! Groceries are being delivered – the sun is shining – life is good!

6:10 PM Phil
Hope the day was good! Groceries delivered? I could never do that, Unless it’s canned or boxed stuff. I have to see the fruit and veggies and look for good fresh meat. I like to grocery shop though.

8:20 PM Sassy
Tasty seafood supper for our first time at Legal on the Mystic in Assembly Row

The warm rolls
Clam chowder that’s been served at every Presidential Inauguration 
except a recent poorly attended one
Popcorn shrimp with sriracha lime aoili
Shrimp fusilli
Kung Pao grilled shrimp with jasmine rice
The dining room 
8:39 PM Sassy
Stopped in at the Italian pastry shop for dessert and they’ve got their holiday pie list up! 

9:30 PM Sassy
Survived two project meetings! We have 19 events in the pipeline next year! Had dinner at Legal and thought of you…
I hate grocery shopping and toting all the stuff… and their shoppers can pick better stuff than I would!
9:32 PM Phil
Awwww. Love Legal.
My Mom taught me how and I enjoy it.
Sang the Lord’s Prayer at Church this morning. Fun to sing again. Also sang with the choir and am helping with the Cantata
9:35 PM Sassy
Oh how wonderful that you are singing!
9:38 PM Phil
Apparently, I still can. Surprised I can still hit those notes. It was fun and they have not had much of a men’s section and all of a sudden they had a pretty decent bass section. All they needed was someone to lead the way and it turns out they can sing. Had a blast.
9:46 PM Sassy
That sounds so fun!
I miss choir and doing solos.

8:25 AM Phil
Absolutely! Good morning. We had storms last night. Sunshine today!

8:22 PM Sassy
Don’t you love it when you do lots of research and pick a new restaurant to try and get there when you’re starving and… they don’t have power so they’re closed? Yeah… me neither! (Saugus this afternoon, high winds, no electricity! Grrrr)

8:55 PM Sassy
Impromptu delightful dinner at Lobsta Land in Gloucester (the power was out at our original choice in Saugus so we kept on driving north and consoled ourselves with seafood)
French onion soup
Coconut fried shrimp
Lobster chowder
Caesar salad with anchovies
Pepper-encrusted ahi tuna
Lazy man’s lobster
Butternut squash
