River view

Oct 5,

This is my favorite view of my new running route, by the new house. For some reason this exact spot transports me somewhere else. It makes me thing of the south of France.



Quinceanera

Oct 4,

Tonight we went to the Quinceanera party of one of my friend's daughter. We have known her since she was a baby. It was a really nice party, and I was grateful to be included, but it was also difficult as, for one reason or another, we didn't do something special for our own girls when they turned 15. Different traditions, and different life circumstances.  Sofia turned 15 right in the thick of the pandemic, and Bella had just arrived in Boston and we hardly knew anyone. But both are loved so much, and I hope they always know it.

5k

Oct 4,

This morning I went to a Halloween-themed 5K with some friends. It was a beautiful day. It got a little hot towards the end, but it was nice to be out there. Not a bad day to start the day. 






Under the tulip tree

Oct 1,

I just finished this book. A sad story, but it is important to remember and learn from the past.



Coffee Emporium

It had been a while since we took a photo together at Coffee Emporium, so here is one to remember later.



Last Poland trip for now

Sep 26,

This past week I was in Poland for work. We flew into Warsaw, and I went to Lodz for a day to visit my team. I am switching jobs on Nov 1st, and I don't think my new team has people in Poland, so it is good bye for now. I have always loved my trips there, so hoping to be back sometime.
