Today was a traveling day. Lynne and I drove to Dedham to see Helaine Kanegsberg. It has not been quite a month since Alan’s passing, and I was very pleased to see Helaine adapting to life so well. She has always been in many activity groups at Newbridge where she lives, and she continues to be engaged. We took a long walk all about Newbridge, through the villas, to the raised bed gardening area, along the Charles River where it is still the size of a creek as it runs on to become a full-fledged river running through Boston, on through the woods, and back to the central building where there are restaurants, meeting rooms, a work out gym, a pool, and just about anything else that a resident might want. When we returned from the walk, Lynne and I put together the ingredients we brought with us to make an arugula, red pepper, and cucumber salad topped with pumpkin seeds and crumbled salmon paddy pieces. Yummy.
Before 2 pm, we said our farewells to head home and hopefully keep in front of the onslaught of rush hour drivers. We made it back to Stoughton where we did a quick shop at Costco and returned items we bought at IKEA last week. Lynne and I then had a quiet evening at home with Shadow.
