We winterized our potted plants. In some cases this meant planting bulbs and wrapping our boxwoods in burlap – in the case of our basil – we made pesto! We used fancy olive oil from France (thanks Shannon!) and our new itty bitty food processor (thanks Grandma Allen!).

Cute Mannie
He fell asleep playing with his mouse and then used it to cover his eyes from the light.

No More Sox
We had playoff tickets – but it turns out the sox won’t be there. We are bummed but loved cheering on our team all season long. Additionally, we discovered a new trick. The first game of the season, we bought one of those ridiculously priced souvenir soda cups. They are huge, but there is no way that they are worth the cost. The lady selling soda reminded us they had free refills – which is kind of a joke because they are so big, you wouldn’t ever need a refill. But then she said, just bring it to the next game and then you won’t have to pay. We tried it out and they let us bring the empty cup back in to Fenway each game and we never paid for soda again for the rest of the season. We feel quite pleased with ourselves, if you can’t tell.
Also, Jeannette kept all the checked bag tags on the bag she brought to each game. It’s definitely time to take them off and wash the bag as it has been attacked by a malfunctioning ketchup squirter, sat in puddles of beer spilled by folks sitting behind us, and is full of peanut shell bits. But the collecting tags was fun while it lasted.
