An Absurdly Nice Weekend
It was not raining and it wasn't hot. The gluten from the play dough roller that Eric licked on Tuesday had worked its way through his system by Saturday morning. So, he was feeling good. Yesterday we went to a party and then Rich took the kids out while I cooked a fabulous meal that our friends came over and ate.
I even made a gluten free chocolate cream pie from my new favorite cook book. It was a successful experiment. Even the crust was delicious. Four adults and one baby ate two and a half pounds of coconut curry chicken.
Today we spent the morning at Revere Beach with the same family that we had dinner with last night. Then Eric and Rich went to the Construction Site Waltham on the commuter rail to buy birthday presents while Kaylee napped. When they got back we went to a new park in Cambridge. It was a newfangled park with an elaborate sprinkler that filled up swaying buckets that would eventually tip and gush water onto the asphalt. The ladder up to the big kid structure twisted and curved. The swings looked like saucers that could accommodate about five kids. Eric was stymied by the straight-up climbing wall. But he found lots of stuff to do.
The park abutted a ball field with unbelievably thick grass. Eric flew a kite and Kaylee chased around the myriad dogs that galumphed around. She's a dog person, apparently.
It was one of those days where my heart lurched and felt so full of love that I thought I would fall over from the weight of it.
But that is not a bad feeling.

Margaret, Great information. It is true that the park abutted a ball field with unbelievably thick grass.
Margaret, great info, I agree the park abutted a ball field with unbelievably thick grass.
An annual holiday is always something to look forward to, but it’s good to treat yourself in between those holiday periods as well. One way to do this is by booking a weekend break – and the possibilities for what you can do are endless.
The stag weekend may involve activities beyond the usual party and social get-together activities, such as going to a strip club, hiring a stripper or escort, and in some traditions more ridiculous activities at the future groom’s expense, which highlights the whole thing is also a rite of passage from bachelorhood to more responsible marital life. Nowadays, various organizers have come up to organize stag weekends in different parts of the globe at affordable prices.
