Wine, Beach, Whine
My life is rather simple, with small changes. This weekend was no exception.
On Friday night we got together with friends (and two new people) for take-out and card games. Though, we spiced things up this time by going “all the way” to Brookline. Now, as the crow flies Brookline is only a few miles away. But there is not a single road that goes directly to Brookline from Arlington or even Cambridge. Consequently, it takes more than 30 minutes to go what is probably only about 5 miles.
On Saturday, we had hoped to lay out on the roofdeck, but increased cloudiness botched that plan. Instead, we did a bit of shopping, then hosting a small wine-tasting party at our home.
Sunday we finally got to enjoy the sun by heading to Crane Beach. Though hot, there was enough of a sea breeze and enough hit or miss clouds to keep us cool. We arrived about an hour after high tide so the beach expanded in size by probably 10x for the few hours we were there. And the lowering tides provided many little pools of warm/comfy water to lounge in. We did that numerous times, before having to move to a new pool as the water drained to only a few inches.
Occasionally, we made it out past the sandbar into the actual ocen water…which was probably at least 10 degrees cooler than the tidal pools. BRRR. Still, it was relaxing and fun…and my arm hair is turning blonde.
And I’m rather excited since Randy’s mother is arriving in 5 days (this will be her first visit northward since I’ve known Randy). We’ve got lots planned for her so I hope she doesn’t expect to get some rest while she’s up here. Between Newport, Ptown, DeCordova Musem/Sculpture Garden, a dinner party and various meals out and about, this is going to be one hectic week for her (and us).
So much to see, so little time.
