South beach bird walk...Chatham Ma.
a
Howdy all,
Jeff and I have been enjoying Cape Cod. Left Homey and Ballie with mom and dad in Ledyard and packed a suitcase...yuck...
We have settled in to the house that the Smoots rent....very nice... I will take some pics and video of the home later. We have been biking the bike trail here...walking , shopping, beaching, reading, eating and relaxing.
Saturday, Jeff and I did a birding walk from Lighthouse beach Chatham to almost the end of South beach....round trip about 12 miles...a tough hike to do in sand on a hot day with a back pack...but we had a beautiful day.

Cresent Beach Day Pot luck dinner and mushroom talk
Last Saturday Jeff and I, Tammy and Joe went to Crescent beach day....My sister Lori and family, and brother John and Barbara are members of this beach.
We went to the craft fest where my brother in law Attillio was selling his hand made birdhouses, my sister in law, Barbara was selling her clay figurines and niece Tara was offering facials. The rain closed the booths down early...but luckily it cleared later in the day for the Pot luck.
sunday we went to Connecticut College to look at mushrooms and learn a bit about the ones that grow here on the east coast.

Samarrahs Bat Mitzvah
Howdy all,
Our daughter Samarrah had her Bat Mitzvah this past Friday, along with 25 other fellow classmates who studied Hebrew and other things Jewish ...traditions, Torah....etc.
Through a group funded by Birthright Israel.
It was a very nice evening....with 25 young adults telling their stories...of why they were not bar or bat mitzvahed at age 13....and why they have decided they wanted to do this now....
It was great to hear all the different stories...but one thing seemed constant amongst all....they felt that now .....they appreciate what this means more than what it would have as a 13 year old...".its not about the party or the presents",
as one of the students said....
now at this stage in their life...
Its about community, tradition, and heritage.
Its about making the choice to..
connect to their roots.
TheirJewishness ....
Samarrah wrote a beautiful poem....you can hear that on the video....
enjoy....

True Colors Tour....wii fit injury....
Howdy all,
Last night Jeff and I had free tickets....to the True Colors Tour....with the below artists...
Cyndi Lauper
The B-52s
Rosie O'Donnell
Tegan and Sara
The Cliks
with Host
Carson Kressley
The goal of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) equality is at the heart of True Colors. From day one, the tour has sought to raise awareness about the discrimination the GLBT community still faces and raise significant funds for the organizations that work everyday on their behalf.
I really enjoyed Tegan and Sara and a few of the Cliks songs....the B52s got the house dancing.....Rosie O'Donnell was funny and had some tender moments when talking about her mother...
And Cindi Lauper was full of energy as usual....
I couldn't get up and dance but danced in my chair....Earlier in the day....i was using my wii fit ....and was doing the advanced step aerobics....well i slipped off the step and fell onto the left side of my left foot...I think it was because i have my sofa pulled out into a bed...and I don't have much room for the side to side steps...i was compensating for the lack of room and well...i slipped...
I cant put pressure on my left foot....I went shopping yesterday morning with my mother and hobbled around...but as the day progressed i couldn't walk as well.....
So to get to the concert i used a cane and Jeff borrowed a wheelchair from the casino and wheeled me around...he thought he was a race car driver......i thought i was going to end up on my face if he hit a bump ....luckily no other injury's...
Today we will go to a clinic and have my foot xrayed to see if i broke something....
I guess i wont be doing the wii fit for a while....I will still do the upper body exercise like tennis, bowling and baseball....maybe a little golf.....
oh well..
