To say that May has been a busy month would be an understatement. So I guess having a 3 day weekend is what is takes to get something back up and running on the blog.
Jessica was home for a little over a week after completing her first year of grad school. She is a delight to have around the house and of course there is always something going on with her friends. We showed her off to our friends at Belmont happy hour too. She is off to Istanbul for a weeklong Brandeis fellowship now and when she returns from that she will begin her summer internship at Boston Beer in Boston. (Sam Adams is their most recognizable brand). Then in August she is off to Milan, Italy for a semester abroad. That leads into my exciting news. Steve and I have planned a trip to see her in October and will spend time touring northern Italy and Switzerland and maybe even make it into France. Then we will be taking a slow boat home. We have scheduled a transatlantic crossing from Rome to New York with stops at Sardinia, Italy, Palma de Mallorca, Spain, and Lisbon, Portugal. A very exciting trip to look forward to all summer.
But for now it is summertime and we should be golfing. Mothernature has not been kind to our area this spring though. With cooler than normal temperatures and rainfall amounts over 8 inches above normal, the golf course is practically unplayable. We keep hoping the trend will change so maybe todays sunshine and warmth will be the beginning.
Happy Memorial Day!
Just checked out the preview of this and see the Santa pictures. I will have to update that with some new AJ shots this week.

So glad you had a fun visit with Jessica - one year down and the next one sounds fabulous - as does your trip! Wow, that should be outstanding - the ports of call will be interesting no doubt. I will look forward to hearing all about it and again, will travel vicariously through you!
Have a peaceful weekend!
Hey Linda...quiet for awhile but what great news!! Jessica sounds like she is doing awesome...Adam just said Sam Adams...can I go see her? He is starting Law School in the East but not until August. Your trip sounds awesome-we hope for updates as soon as you can post them. Great hearing new news...please make the rain stop!!!
The trip sounds absolutely fantastic and what fun planning it.
Ah - the north of Italia. Lake Como - Varenna in particular. Stay at Eremo Gaudio up the mountain from the town. Take the ferry to Bellagio. Buy some vino, bread, cheese, olives and salami and have a picnic supper on their patio overlooking the lake at sunset.
And do not forget to read every book Rick Steves has written for wherever you're going to visit.
