Good morning Boston on Flickr. What a wonderful weekend: a long-overdue reunion with our former minister from Dallas, now living in Boston. We stayed with her and her husband at their home in the heart of American history, just off the Boston Common. And under gorgeous blue skies, we walked across the Public Garden this morning to attend the service at Arlington Street Church, introducing Andrea to one of several UU churches close to Wheelock. Life is so good.

Compare this photo with the one taken on January 1. The green lawn of New Year’s Day has been replaced with snow. Not counting the epic Snowtober weather event, we’re finally experiencing a modest taste of winter.

“ Andrea, this is superb. Please provide me with a copy so I may use it as a model paper. Sophisticated and skilled intro discussion, excellent presentation of studies with accurate conclusions, perceptive applications of procedures and findings… Your best paper of the semester.
Andrea started her winter-spring semester today and received her graded research paper that she turned in right before the holidays. I’d say she aced it.

Christmas Day

Hard to imagine a better Christmas than this year’s: everyone home and healthy, a leisurely awakening and opening of presents, laughter and conversation, a delicious and plentiful ham dinner, games, a neighborhood walk with Strudel, lazing about the house.

Very grateful.
