This is the place he’s buying. Actually 2 units. The smaller one rents to nurses that work in some big hospital a few blocks away. Both sides have been totally updated and they sold him all the furniture and belongings in both units for an $6K.
Great deal, whomever renovated that I doubt made much money, it was well done. North Adams is a cool town with the Art Museum.

Plus, in the Summer there are many artsy things to do like Tanglewood, plays and stuff at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, Visit the Williams College Museum of Art or the Clark Art Institute. Bennington VT is a nice town in Southern VT (Just up rte 7)

I have been there often to visit my sis. she has lived there for over 40 years.
 
Wait no more wood stove??
lol.
no more stove. I will say I do miss stacking wood in that thing during the frigid days.
Sold the house and now I just have a bunch of cash. I able to pay off student loan credit card and truck loan.
It just feels a whole lot better not stressing bills and other stuff now.
 
As someone who once got sunburned indoors (who knew this could happen?), I feel your pain. I love the sun but the sun does not love me.
I got my first burn out of the way on that hot ass day last month.
Ill tan the rest of the summer.
Friday turned me brown. Was at Kimball farm all day in Westford. Place is awesome. Did batting cages, bumper boats, driving range. zipline. and par 3 and mini golf- and then came back to Worcester for the woosox game. My first time at polar park, and my god, what a nice park. I will never drive into boston to see a game again. Even if tickets were given to me.

We uncovered a 9 piece tessellation puzzle in the attic that looks like it's from the 80's. It's so simple that it becomes very annoying very quickly, so I can only spend 15 minutes at a time working at it. I have yet to figure it out, but I have to. I've made it 8 pieces in, with 3 different configurations, and 1 of those times I put the last piece in thinking I had it, but it was ever so slightly wrong. I'm too far gone. It needs to be solved.
 
Idk why homeboy made chicken and vodka saude with pasta from scratch at 10am but i wasnt mad at all

Was actually making my GM tostada with corn dip and 3 eggs covered in tomato relish and queso fresco

So in addition to the herbs out back, my neighbor and I are growing small tomatoes on the front porch :D

I infused some mint in my water the other night, quite tasty

I turned the soil in our garden this weekend and worked in 15 cubic feet of peat moss and organic garden soil. Just me and a pitchfork with the dog supervising. Needed a handful of ibuprofen this morning.

Every Mother's Day, our tradition is to put the garden in, so it needed to be done this weekend. Cucumber, Tomatoes, Peppers and Lettuce. We do the herbs in pots on our deck, along with a big pot for Romas and Cherry tomatoes. They're my snack when I'm grilling.
 
Unless someone has had parents in their 80s, it's hard to explain what's it's like. My 88 year old mom said to me recently "You want me to die". I know I shouldn't joke with an 88 year old but I couldn't help myself. I shrugged my shoulders and replied "Well, not right this second". 😂

In the early 70s OR blew up a dead whale to get rid of it and a Jets fan was killed at a game by a flying model plane. Google is your friend if you think I'm lying.

I told someone I've been married for almost 30 years and they replied "Wow! You could have killed someone and been out already". 😂

Despite all the rain it looks like the zinnias, tomatoes, zucchini, basil and cucumbers are all doing really well in my mom’s garden.

I buy the zinnias and then my mom plants them. I got green “envy” zinnias this year so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get a few.

I may take out the small click and grow this weekend to grow some basil but I don’t really have a good spot out of the sun for my larger one.
 
I'm cat-sitting for a couple days for my duplex neighbor. I can't take Hattie over when I check on the cat because she'll sneak in and eat the cat's food if there's any left lol. So she stays on my side and barks, then when I come back over I sit on the couch and she pounces on me and I have to tell her she's still my #1 :laugh:

In other news, my neighbor needs to use litter that's isn't quite so dusty *cough*

Lola is a sweet cat though

I've only barely watched any of the NHL playoffs this year (even highlights), but I just spent an hour and a half watching an entire game from the 1995 regular season on youtube.

I'm convinced that my entire conception of what I find cool or fun was fully set when I was 8 years old and I view everything else through the prism of that. Sports were just better back then, but I'm self aware enough to know that that's a subjective position.

This happened to me with music. We all have that thing.

I've been watching nearly every game this year, the hockey is amazing to me. I almost feel liberated not caring about outcomes because of potential matchups.

We all have that thing that never will get better.
 
Been downloading alot of Disney and old cartoon movies for when I see my grand babies again

Maybe sounds stupid to some but trying to find some movies with some black characters

Representation matters
Not stupid at all!

Not sure how old your littles are, but if they are really young, then Doc McStuffins for sure was a great show
