Since Friday was a holiday, we will start with Thursday. Philip had to work at 4pm which means I had to take the bus home (an hour and a half later I had only made it half way there!). Friday brought us Tropical Storm Sean which was not a big deal at all. But on my way to the bus stop I was able to snap this pic of the calm before the storm hit….
Being that I am not in the Sates I feel that I am not longer restricted by the “Can’t-Put-Up-Christmas-Decorations-Until-After-Thanksgiving” rule most people (except for the retail stores, of course!) abide by. So I spent the day on Saturday decorating with things that I have had in storage for about 4 years. It was so much fun to open the boxes and see everything again. It was a bit odd because it was 75 degrees and sunny out. I am not used to listening to “White Christmas” while wearing shorts and a tank top! So here is the fruits of my labor…..
What Christmas village is not complete without Fenway Park in it? That would be a wonderful gift from my sister, the Yankees fan!
Sunday was a very big day for me, I did 2 things I have never ever done before. The first was to ride my bike all by myself! Philip was out working the ice cream truck and I had places to be! I put my big girl pants (and my helmet!) on and kicked started the bike. The second thing I did was where I rode my bike to…Gibbs Lighthouse!
I am embarrassed to admit in the 5 years that I have been on and off the island, I have never made my way to the lighthouse. As you can see from the pic below, it has amazing views!
So that was my big weekend of firsts and of fun! It was a good weekend, but as they always do, it has ended and we are back to Monday :(
