On Satiurday, July 21, we got to achieve something we have wanted to for the last 2 years. Every time we went up to the White mountains in NH, we would be filled with the desire to hike up Mt Washington, the highest mountain in the northeast US. We went up the Tuckerman Ravine trail, which [...]

Our peach tree (looks more like a plant) has a lot of good fruits this season. It is the first time that in 5 years that they are not fully eaten by insects and birds. I don’t believe in using pesticides, so every year I used to just let the birds enjoy it. But this year [...]

I was at the bus stop to pick up A from his camp (it was his third day). The first thing he said when he saw me “Mommy, today I had to eat lunch like a dog. You forgot to pack a spoon”. Gosh, I felt so terrible! Since I grew up eating with my [...]

Wednesday was a holiday for July 4th. PK had some errands to run in SE MA (he wanted to pick up a reciever and some speakers which were available in that Circuit City), so we decided to bike the Cape Cod Canal Trail in Buzzard’s bay. It had been more than 4 years since we [...]

This morning, as A was sitting at the table in our eat-in kitchen, he suddenly called out to me saying there was a deer. I went to the deck as quietly as possible, but it still ran away pretty quickly and I only got a fleeting glimpse.

This past weekend, we went camping at Pearl Hill State Park. It was great fun. It was a group of 6 adults and 4 kids. We went on Saturday afternoon, reaching there around 1.30 pm. The campsites were in an awesome wooded setting – very tall pine trees. The showers and toilets were very clean (despite [...]

After A’s party, we came home and after a quick lunch, we headed down to Providence for the RI air show. We reached there just in time to see the Blue Angels perform, which was the highlight of the show. Both the kids enjoyed it. I was surprised to see S’s reaction because although I didn’t [...]

Saturday, June 23, we had A’s birthday party at Pump it Up. I had to book almost 2 months in advance and even then couldn’t get convenient dates or times. We had signed up for the 9 am slot, which was better than the after 5.30 pm slots which were offered. The morning was so [...]
