This past jammed packed week was the big visit from Krista's mom and sister to help us pick out colors and color coordinate the whole house. What a big project and boy did they do a good job. If there was a record for longest time spent in Home Depot and Lowe's over a week's time, these ladies might be in contention for the record.
We took a break in between picking out hardwood and carpet to take a break and spend a gorgeous day in Boston. The highlights of the day were inadvertently meeting up with my sister and brother-in-law in Chinatown at one of our favorite restaurants and da duck tour.
I was heading into the restaurant and saw the back of a lady that I thought looked exactly like my sister. I turned around to my wife and yelled "that looks like my sister from the back." The lady then turned around and it was my sister! What a coincidence. After lunch, we walked around historic Faneuil Hall - the most visited site in Boston. We then walked to the Prudential center for the main event - the Duck Tour.
We're talking about a WWII amphibious troop carrier turned tourist carrier that covers Boston over land and water for an hour and a half of rollicking tourist fun. The co. is also known for its colorful drivers that give the tour. Needless to say, fun was had by all.
We ended the day with a fabulous meal at our favorite tapas bar on Newberry Street. My favorite dish was the short rib stew. Other favorite dishes were goat cheese in a honey glaze and scallops in saffron sauce. I can't wait to go back.

I'm quite sure we did break the record, and on behalf of all Lowe's and Home Depot's customer's everywhere I'm delighted to acknowledge that as a second home, it's not all bad!!!
Sam, I am ready for more pictures! How is the house coming?
