2026 Life Logs, Day 136: From Community Watch Training to Dining-In with Friends
Date: Saturday, May 16, 2026
Weather: Sunny, Windy; High Temp 65, Low 53 degrees F
Location: At Home with My Shadow, Falmouth, MA
If it is Saturday, then I am on the Green at 12 noon for Indivisible Falmouth’s weekly standout. We are there, rain, shine, or snow, and I invariably meet some new to me, very interesting person. Today it was a woman from Newtonville up near Boston who was here for the weekend and decided to join us.
After the standout, I headed home to make applesauce for tonight gathering of my Dining-In group. And then I headed to a Falmouth Immigrant Rights Coalition Community Watch workshop. The purpose of these workshops is to train the average citizen how to be on the alert for ICE and what to do about it. It was a good workshop with great attendance. But I had to leave about 20 minutes early to get to the Dining-In gathering at Karen and Peter Baranowski’s. The food tonight was outstanding. Karen made Polish stuffed cabbage rolls called Golumpki. The rest of us added a Ukrainian borscht that was delicious, homemade applesauce, and a strawberry cake that was beautiful and delicious. We have been meeting regularly since 2017 and the camaraderie and the food just gets better with time.
