Busy days!

So, yesterday, Mom went off to answer the phones at church, and I puttered. After she came back, we drove out to Old Sturbridge Village (which is a re-enactment thing based in the 1830s New England, which is a surprisingly interesting time period. Erm. Even if you're not me, and for me it's slightly post period of particular interest, which means there is stuff they are likely to tell me that I do not actually know yet, which is always pleasant. As opposed to Revolutionary Era Boston, where I know entirely too many details.)

Anyway, we had a good time, I figured out her GPS system, and we then drove back to see _Public Enemy_ at the movie theatre. (Which I sort of wanted to see because Dillinger had St. Paul connections, and I'd read an interesting article in the Pioneer Press about the movie while doing laundry this week.)

This morning, she dropped me off at Alewife at 8:15. I took the T up to Harvard, puttered around various coffee shops for a couple of hours. (After two summers taking language courses there, I am *very* good at the location of optimum coffee shop there.) I then took the T off to the Arboretum (all the way at the end of the Orange line) to meet up with college friends and spouses. (In this case, I knew all the spouses when I was in college, so it's not like these are people I barely know.)

I spotted Keshwyn

I know Sturbridge Village! Dad used to live near enough (in Connecticut) that we'd go there sometimes when I visited him. When I was in high school I applied for a summer job there, even (but didn't get it).

I took the leftovers and put them in jars? I'm going to have another *three* meals out of that plate of pasta.

That's just ridiculous. But it was absolutely lovely to see you today. :)

Hrmph - LJ appears to have eaten half of your post!

Argh! So it has. How weird.

Anyway. For those not there because I am not in the mood to rewrite the whole thing.

- We had excellent picnicking.
- It was gloriously sunny. I am now lightly sunburned.
- Meranthi's kids are very cute.
- We then went off for dinner at Vinny Testa's (local excellent Italian chain.)

And, having played with the pedometer, I walked at least 3.5 miles yesterday (a lot of it carrying rather more than I usually do), and about 2 miles on Saturday, which rather explains my body going "erm, you sure about this?")
