I took a brief break from art to visit Megan in Boston. It was Parent's Weekend at Emerson, so my husband and I flew out on Thursday (at the ungodly hour of 6am Ca time) and stayed through Sunday afternoon. The weather was good - warm rain off and on on Saturday - otherwise fine. The trees were in the process of turning so we took several walks through the Public Garden and Boston Common. It's a wonderful city and very visitor friendly. Megan has settled into a nice life there and is quite the whiz at navigating the subways and trains. We had a great time and were also able to meet and get to know some of her new found friends. All were mature, responsible, caring supportive and kind hearted. A vast improvement....
As if that is not exciting enough (afterall, if you have not been to Boston, you can live vicariously through me - kidding!), I received a wonderful surprise just before I left town. Jeannine Stein, the author of the book "re-bound"I profiled somehow found my blog and read the post on the hot water bottle book! I received a very kind and supportive email from her - it has made my month, to say the least! Thank you , Jeannine and so glad you liked the project and the twist!

So glad you had a great time! Love the pictures!!!! I take it the Swan Boats are probably all locked up now for the Fall/Winter. It's the perfect time of year to visit-soooo pretty there now.

Swan boats were locked up and fountains were dry. Did you know that there is a fountain in the Public Garden dedicated to ether? Who knew?!
