The long Columbus Day weekend. I decided to take monday off this year since the company doesn't give it to us. Friday was 1/2 day work then lunch at The Edge Cafe and shopping at Whole Foods. Took it easy after that since saturday is going to be busy. Saturday started with service then we went to the RISD alumni art festival on Benefit St. Beautiful day, so it was packed there. Then it was off to Purgatory chasm for the congregation cookout. Large turnout, plenty of food. We were pretty spent after that, but it's off to Waterfire. Luke called so he met us at the house. We ended up at Trinity Brewhouse for snacks and beer, Olivia was falling asleep. Somewhere along the way back Lisa lost $50 from her pocket. What a busy day! Monday we took Olivia to United Skates which did not go well. After 20 minutes she'd had enough, so we headed over to the Edge for cupcakes to drown our sorrows. After the meeting Lisa made those delicious cole slaw & chicken tacos. Great way to end the weekend.

Another thursday, and I'm feeling a little wiped out. I have a talk tonight, so that's stressful. We went to El Azteca for supper since Lisa sold 4 bags to a person in Singapore. We had a family with 4 children show up at the meeting. I guess they're just starting up and they have twins and a baby. The twins were wild, Lisa got up to help but there was no conntrolling them so they sat downstairs and left before the meeting ended. Found out that the Selesky's are moving at the end of the month, guess it's a big secret that leaked , maybe they're trying to sneak away in the middle of some night. Got home and watched Earl and The Office and went to bed.

Had my bike today so I went to the river park at lunch. The weather was great, sunny, 70ish. The 3 of us went to Providence Place mall tonight to look for shoes and jackets- the quest continues. I had the tikka masala at the indian place at the food court, which is surprisingly good. Olivia had Johhny Rocket's chicken fingers (surprise) and Lisa had a bacon-onion ring burger. We shared 2 cones from Ben & Jerry's and got home a little after 7:00. It's nice to get out after work, change of scenery.

I thought I was due for a photo to be posted, so while I was sitting in my car at lunch with my burrito, carrot and coffee I noticed the beauty surrounding me here on O'Neill Blvd. so I snapped a picture. We have Supply New England on the right and Waste Sytems on the left. Adding to the natural beauty are the wires above and the radio tower. It's amazing what humans are capable of. I only wish I could have captured the odor of Waste Systems. After work I went to visit Aunt Irene at the nursing home. She seemed peaceful, but didn't utter a word. After supper Olivia and I played wiffle ball, she loves it. The rest of the evening was uneventful.
