Boston, Massachusetts
Posted on May 15, 2009 | No CommentsI know, I’ve been a bad Traveling FB. I took these trips in April…. But better late than never! As promised – Boston in pictures. Will keep it tlog style (pictures, very little talking) for reasons of laziness and a sprinkle of forgetfulness. We didn’t... -

How am I going to pack everything to move?
Posted on November 16, 2008 | 9 CommentsBF’s solution is he is going to toss everything (even his expensive cookware, etc???) that he doesn’t need and just bring the essentials like clothes. To me, it sounds like a good idea. Start from scratch. So I’m taking this mini inventory in my head... -
