Day 4, Year 7: Messing About on a Saturday
Date: Saturday, November 12, 2011
Weather: Still Very Windy; Temps from low 40’s to low 60’s
Location: Brewer Fiddler’s Cove Marina, N Falmouth, Massachusetts
I’m not sure we accomplished anything much today. But it was a nice, relaxed day doing a little of this and a little of that. The wind here in the marina is incessant and we see little relief until Wednesday. It is not quite so windy away from the water, so we enjoyed the few hours in town. We went to Heather and Jed’s before 9 am to pick up Jed and the boys and go to the soccer field. The field is right across the street from the beach, so the south winds we are getting blew right through the field. It was chilly, but not as chilly as last week. After soccer, we took Jed, Sam, and Jonah to downtown Falmouth to meet up with Mommy at the library and playground across the street. Mark and I then went to the supermarket to do a little stocking up and then back to Heather and Jed’s to sort through some of the things that we have stored in their basement that need to be sold. Mark took photos and on Monday morning we will start listing these things on Craig’s List. We had lunch at H & J’s and then we came back to Windbird. I continued my update of our Year 1 logs (a never-ending job) and Mark bent the conduit piping that will become the “roof rafters” for our winter cover. Mark also fixed dinner tonight so I could keep working on those Year 1 logs. So, the day was just a mix of this and that, but it was relaxing. Since I didn’t keep the boys yesterday because of the holiday, I have felt all day like it is Sunday. But when I check the calendar, it tells me that tomorrow is Sunday. Mark works at West Marine and I am going to be keeping Sam and Jonah while Heather and Jed do some off Cape shopping and then go to a public radio event in the late afternoon. Ira Glass, host of This American Life, is speaking in Woods Hole. This American Life is a public radio show that presents stories of everyday people and Ira Glass has sometimes been called the American storyteller. He is a fantastic speaker and we know Heather and Jed will enjoy the show.
