My Mama took me to dinner last night and we hit the new Figaro's in town. It was fabulous! We shared a couple of apps and a salad- the escargot was our fave! We enjoyed some fun cocktails too...especially my mom's smoking drink- so fun! Such a great night and she even slept over :)
and I am leaving you with this...the latest addition to my Lola collection...The Oyster
Hi Friends! It is Wednesday and you know what that means. It is time to join Joyce for her Hodgepodge linkup...we are answering the fun questions below...so let's get to it...
1. What's a characteristic you admire in others? Elaborate.
Loyalty...warmth...a listening ear...just knowing you can trust that person and always depend on them for emotional support and even just a hug
2. Do you have a favorite mug? Let's see it. Why is this one your favorite?
Yes! Give me all of the insulated mugs and cups nowadays...they keep my teas cold for hours...and of course I would pick a Lilly one as my fave :)
3. July 15th is/was National Give Something Away Day...will you (or did you, depending on what day you answer these questions) give something away? If so what? Do you regularly give away or do you tend to 'accumulate'?
Does three days ago count? We brought several bags of clothes to Goodwill to donate. See? Here is our receipt :)
4. You're planning a trip. Do you prefer exploring big cities or smaller, more off the grid towns? World Atlas lists these 12
'off the grid' towns to see in 2025. How many on the list have you
seen? Of those listed which one would you most like to visit? Tell us
why?
Boothbay Harbor Maine, Middlebury Vermont, New Hope
Pennsylvania, Rehoboth Beach Delaware, Brevard North Carolina, Saugatuck
Michigan, Medora North Dakota, Ouray Colorado, Lamoille Nevada, Neah
Bay Washington, Hood River Oregon, or Cambria California
I would explore any size city...I love seeing new places to us...out of this above, we have seen NONE...eek...but I would say I would most want to see Boothbay Harbor Maine...no place I rather be in the summer than New England and near or on the ocean :)
5.
Have you ever...ridden a motorcycle? been to a Disney park? met a
celebrity? won a contest? Tell us something about whatever you answered
yes to on this list.
Never rode a motorcycle...have been to both Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida AND Disneyland in Anaheim, California- love them both.
I met Doug Flutie (Former QB from BC and then the New England Patriots) when I was on a school trip to NYC in high school and more recently, Debbie Gibson! She was my childhood idol and Rob lined up a VIP meet and greet after her local show...that was our anniversary gift :)
Hi Friends! I thought you may want to see our Windham Blackout 2025 Tee Shirt Video.
We publish this video in July to promote our tee shirt sale which is our biggest fundraiser each year.
Tee Shirts are your ticket into the big game. This year's game is on 9.26.25
I am very proud of this video. I think it is our best one yet. I was able to get each of our school principals to participate, as well as some of our honored families, our new football coach and a couple of the senior players. Hope you enjoy!
Hi Friends and Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I am here with my Partner In Crime, Sarah, and we are chatting about our weekends! Hope you will share what you were up to and link up to us below! Here is what our little summer weekend looked like...
Friday
Diana and I dropped Eva off at camp and then drove over to Exeter to try a little coffee shop we have been seeing on the IG- Flamingo's. It is a really cute shop and they do some fun things with coffee- Diana and I both opted for iced- I got the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and she got the S'mores. We both enjoyed gluten free muffins too- delish- and just a fun little adventure.
After that, we grabbed her a pair of jeans for the school year and then headed home so I could get my work day started.
That night, I had to do a showing for real estate and Daddy sent me this pic of someone who was obsessed with him ;)
We crashed pretty early
Saturday
and we were up early...I had to head up to Stratham for a showing with brand new buyers- I am really excited to work with them!
and Rob and Eva headed to a softball game to support Eva's coach/assistant
Then Diana and I scooted out for a lunch date and deep conversation...certain days the words just sink in and I am so glad they did this day
That night, Rob and I headed to Old School for a quick cocktail and app and then we headed up north to meet Laurel and Tom and Rich and Denise as we were all headed to a concert at our fave venue- Bank of NH Pavilion- this time it was for Fastball- Sugar Ray and Barenaked Ladies! Laurel and Tom treated us to a wonderful show!
Snapped a pic of my bracelets because it was the "perfect light." Lola has my heart :)
We made it!
Such an amazing show! BNL outdid themselves!
We opted not to stay over. Diana was out and about and we wanted to be nearby in case she needed a ride home in the wee hours of the morn.
Sunday
I got Diana up and out early and headed to her private lesson at the gym. She is still working to get her full for college.
Then we had a little visitor! Miss Sylvie Lynn came to "swim!"
I can't with how cute! She was clinging on to the peacock float for dear life but loved it so much- so flippin adorbs!
Later on, Rob and I met Matt and Beth Ann for 9 holes over at Atkinson Country Club- I was nervous because I had not played in two years AND I am pretty awful but I shot the best game of my life. No joke- ha! It felt great
They treated us to golf and dinner because of my ability to sell their house so well. Friends that are too generous and thoughtful for sure. Grateful.
Last night, Rob did the groceries for me and I crashed super early. I have been go go going and getting wiped out so needed some extra rest. What were you all up to?
