Lunch and the Fryeburg Fair

The past few weeks have been a bit crazy, but I was so happy Stephanie and her babe Lindsay came to see me in Brookline for lunch. She is soooo cute. In this pic, she's rubbing her eyes because she just woke up. 

On Saturday, Terry and I went to Fryeburg, Maine, for the Fryeburg Fair, and then stayed the night in Portland, Maine. Fryeburg has the oldest agricultural fair in Maine, and is about 3 1/2 hours from Boston. We weren't sure what to expect, but I did see things I had never seen before, like an Ox Pulling contest and harness racing. We definitely had a good time, and the leaves are starting to change up north, so it was pretty. I'm getting in as many "New England Fall" activities as possible while I can!

A Day at the Races

On Saturday a bunch of us headed to Suffolk Downs, the local horse track, for MassCap Day, the biggest race of the year for the slightly downtrodden place. Since we know absolutely nothing about horse racing, we had a mix of results, though Terry did very well, and you can see from the pics that I did win one race. I will try not to spend my $1.30 winnings all in one place. Terry did very well though. It was a fantastic sunny day, and in the end we were exhausted after all the sun and beer and gambling. Can't wait for next year!

Red Sox and then Gamblin'

This last week was nuts and full of night meetings at work, but we found time for a Red Sox game and then headed to the Cape this weekend to celebrate Marge's (Terry's grandma) birthday. The game was a bit of a bummer since it went into OT and the Sox lost, but the weekend was full of champagne and cards, so that made up for it. I love this last pic because you can see that the kids have been all cleared out! 

To top all things off, the Broncos won in a crazy exciting last minute game!! Go Broncos!
