Another whirlwind weekend

[siercia]

Friday we had knitting, Saturday we bounced from lunch with an old co-worker of Wiley's, to a first birthday party for an adorable little friend, to Wiley and Widget heading to another party while I peeled off to go to knitting. Knitting was a great mix of many of my favorite peoples and the group of us (less one) went out for yummy dinner afterward.

Sunday we went out to breakfast, then headed over to Larz Anderson Park and the Transportation Museum for the German Car show they had happening yesterday. When we came home, Widget and I chilled out in front of Aladdin while Wiley fought with the brakes on my car. They declared a truce in time for a late dinner of Indian takeout, and he ad a sledgehammer have a date with the car when he gets home tonight.

Sounds like a good, hectic weekend! How are things at work btw? Did things improve?

[siercia]

Somewhat. I actually need to write it up in a longer locked post.

I eagerly await...

demystification! What is this Transportation Museum?

Larz Anderson Park in Brookline was originally a private estate, and the owners were early car aficionados - their collection of early cars is housed in what was the carriage house of the estate and is open to the public.

In the summer, they have outside car shows where owners and collectors will bring their cars and let people walk around ad gawk at them - this weekend was German cars, but they have all kinds of special interest car days throughout the summer.

YAY, Cleverness and Muscles beat sledgehammer. Didn't have to hammer the car. :)

You missed a fine send-off and lots of lesbians!

Though Larz Anderson more than makes up for either of them.

;)

[siercia]

oooh, you win for cryptic comment!

Who was sent off, and why were there a lot of lesbians, since you make it sound like more than usual?

Ah! You miss a couple of weeks...

Adrian has been activated (Sergentin the National Guard) and is being sent to Iraq for a year. We got him a cake and a GPS as a come-back-alive present.

And, um, the vote on marriage equality had been a few days before and a number of couples were checking us out or connected to the anti-petition movement or coming by to see who'd been demonstrating.

Beside, why shouldn't there be lesbians? They go with anything, and they're very chic just now.

Aaaah, yes, I had heard about his deployment on one of the very spammy e-mail lists I seem to have now gotten myself on.

And Yes, much celebration for the vote last week. Happy happy day.

You can opt out of the email list. Like all lists, it seems to be getting out of hand.

Sorry I missed the eating outing.

Oh, did you guys know that there will be some movies shown outdoors at Lars Anderson this summer? On the 21st they are showing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, if memory serves.

[siercia]

You were, of course, missed at dinner!

I heard them announcing the movies while we were there on Sunday - sadly, 8:00 is a little late for a school night, which stinks, because those sounded fun.
