Friday I reached the half-century mark. It's hard to believe I've been alive that long. Like most people I talk to, I feel much younger than my actual age.
Carol has started a babysitting swap with our new next door neighbor Sue. So on my birthday we had a date night. We revisited an Italian restaurant near Fenway Park that we discovered a year ago when we were here house hunting, and then walked across the Fens (a big park) to the Museum of Fine Arts (in background of photo above) where we enjoyed a couple of hours of blissful, child-free browsing. There is currently an interesting Talouse-Lautrec exhibit, and exhibit of Harry Callahan photography, a fascinating Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) printmaking exhibit, and a visiting Van Gogh ("The Sower") that is displayed among the other Impressionist masters.
Saturday was a busy day with T-ball photos in the morning and a game in the afternoon, plus preparing for a little birthday BBQ in the late afternoon. We invited some friends from work and some neighbors and had a wonderful time. It was a perfect day for it - sunny and 70s.
Sunday I got a little further on the kitchen project by getting the floor sanded. All of the scratches and stains are gone and it's ready to be refinished. Before that I need to finish the walls (which I should be doing right now instead of writing this). Once the walls are painted and the floor is finished, it'll be time to hang cabinets and we'll be in the home stretch.
