thank you for all the good wishes and prayers

first of all - my niece and brother did GREAT - 

 

we both had a blast - it was a non stop gab, walk, eat - rest - REPEAT for 3 days

u all know i like to spin a yarn.... LOL pun intended - y'all missed me???

 

packing... i travel really light - i used a carry on suitcase for 10 days in Europe

okay, it was expandable... but u get the drift

 

i have my backpack ... so do i use a tote bag or that carry on suitcase?

i dont have a smaller rolling bag and carrying a tote up and down stairs (yes i know i would have to carry the suitcase too) and the long subway train ride to my friend could be tiresome on my shoulders

 

carry on suitcase it is - all 3 of my tanks, shorts and toiletries were in...

met my friend - loaded up the car - starbucks in cupholder and off we go

GAB GAB GAB throughout the long ride - 

her son lives in the outskirts of Boston and dinner reservations were for 7:30

 

did i mention traffic? it took 5 1/2 hrs and in the hotel at 6pm

freshened up and dinner at 7:30 - outdoor Mexcian - located at a large outdoor shopping mall which included Whole Foods, movie complex - so,  it was pretty big

 

me - i'm looking for an immersion stick blender - is there a Williams Sonoma here?

her son - no, but there is a nearby Target or BBB you can try

me - nah - that's okay 

yes - you can recall this conversatin later on 

he frequents this mall quite a bit and eats at the various food places

walking distance from his home - i treated them both to dinner

friend is treating me to hotel with her points from her credit card 👍

 

we went back to the hotel - gab - watched the olympics and went to sleep 2am

i woke at 5am (WHY?) or earlier depending on when my cat wakes me up at HOME

friend slept till 7am - LIKE A NORMAL PERSON

 

drove into Boston - since we have been there many times

was just planning to walk around and first thing - Mike's Pastries - CANNOLI time

always a line - always good - in Little Italy

i was planning to buy 1 - ONE 

did i buy 1 - NOOOOO bc my friend said - i'm going to buy 2

so i got Florentine cannoli and an espresso one 

she got florentine cannoli and a piece of black forest cake

 

weather was glorious - not humid and 80

we sat outdoors and ate our breakfast - yes cannoli is a breakfast food

ate 1.5 and threw the other 1/2 out - i should have bought 1 - peer pressure

onward to walking and met the son for lunch and sat outdoors s by the water 

lunch was good - friend and i both had crab cakes - son had fish tacos and we all shared the fried calamari- he treated us

 

he drove us back to where we parked the car (1/2 hr walk) and he left for work

we walked more - Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market rested

wasn't really hungry for dinner yet - let's drive back to the mall for whole foods dinner - didn't like anything and wasn't really hungry - let's walk around

 

WILLIAMS SONOMA - there it is

guess what i bought - 

i said to my friend - he said there was no WS 

friend - he doesn't know what WS is LOL

 

went to CAVA -  a chain that serves meats over rice and greens - kinda like a Chipotle - brought that back to the hotel - very good

 

i was pooped and sleeping by 10 having only slept 3 hrs the night before

dropped the box in the suticase and off we went to get gas for the ride home

Costco Gas - next to a Costco - i need Lavazza whole beans - let's go

no coffee beans but my friend insisted that she buys croissants for my mom

have u seen the container it came in? 10 croissants in a huge box shoved bc it was too big - next to my other huge box

 

so.... good thing i brought the suitcase

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ to you all
