Day 316, Year 9: First Day of School for Ollie and Sam
Date: Tuesday, September 2, 2014
Weather: Hazy Morning but Bright, Sunny Day; Temp in the High 80’s
Location: Quissett Harbor, Falmouth, Massachusetts
Today was the first day of school for Ollie and Sam. Jonah meets with his kindergarten teacher tomorrow morning for an hour, but his first full day of school will be on Thursday. I took Mark to work at West Marine and then drove back to Woods Hole to get a photo of Ollie walking into ‘school’ on his first day. I just had to document the big event. Drop off went smoothly and he had a great first day. Ollie had a not so pleasant experience in daycare previously, so we were all elated that today went so well. And Sam is an old hand at school now that he is second grader, so his day went smoothly as well.
Jonah and I spent our morning processing the 45 pounds of tomatoes that we got yesterday. He washed the tomatoes on the back deck and passed them back into the kitchen to me to blanch and peel. By the end of the day, we had all of the tomatoes prepped and ready to make sauce. Making the sauce will be tomorrow’s job.
Our friends Geoff and Chris of Shambala arrived here in Quissett Harbor this afternoon. They sailed up from Norfolk and are here for only a couple of days before they head on to Nova Scotia. While I worked on tomatoes, Mark came out to visit with them. We will pick them up tomorrow morning and take them into town with us so they can run some errands. And tomorrow night we have been invited to Shambala for dinner so we’ll have time to catch up. On goes this crazy life!
