Spring????

AAACCCHHHHH!!!! What is this thing called spring??? Saturday was our workshop and we spent most of the day inside when it was 61 outside. Yesterday we needed to visit a guy that lives in Hull, MA. It's on the end of a peninsula and we were early so we parked on the beach and watched all the people playing in the shallow water (low tide), running with their dogs, flying kites and it was almost 60!!. Today we wake up to a whole day of SNOW!!!! How is one supposed to live an organized life like that????? And who knows what tomorrow will bring??!! Everyone just says, "well, that's New England, for you".

If you're looking on a map, you'll find Hingham and Hull is just a bit further down the pike---it's about 1/2 mile wide and just a cute little town. Lots of boating people and a few lobster catching families. The Ashley's bought a house there because it was in their price range and big enough to raise a big family. They invited us to stay for dinner which was a treat---we usually don't have a whole cooked chicken, mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, salad, frozen strawberry jam and kids that help fix the dinner and clean up afterwards on Sunday dinner here. The parents had to run to a meetingt at 6 so we stayed and helped them clean up and then the 7th grader and 2nd grader took us on a sightseeing trip on the peninsula. It's really cool. The first three pictures are taken from their sitting room. The next picture is the view from the High School of the Boston Skyline!! Not many can claim that kind of view. Next is a little island that has nothing but condos on it!! After that is the watchtower used during the war to watch who was coming into the harbor. The last picture is of Sarah, a very precocious little 8 yr old that was baptized last Tuesday in the harbor!!











Guess I'll add the pictures of Lizzie Borden's house. We went to the Providence , RI Stake last Wednesday and left early so we could stop in Fall River and see where she gave her mother 40 whacks, etc. But alas, the place was closed up and not a soul was there!! So we'll have to go in another time. Fall River had some battleships in the harbor, so we really need to go back and do some touring.
