At Mom's

I didn't take too many photos while with Ma and the family.  Part of that was due to our time being at the memorial for our cousin Dicky Brooks, where we saw many loved ones, but weren't there to snap pictures.  Part was due to the day that I spent with Lucy, Tom, and Jeffery down at Falmouth and Wood's Hole was sans camera, since I'd dropped it on the road in front of Mom's (thank gosh she found it there!).  But here are a few shots of the doings.

Duxbury Beach lighthouse house

we walked across this walk-way; a good half mile; and Mom did fabulous, considering two hips replaced 6 months ago!

Yoda wanted to see, too

he tried to stay, but I wanted him to come with me, back to Tobin

Ma had us get out the decorations, which was great fun

Jeffery examines Ma's hand quilting and asks questions, which Ma answers

We'll head back to New York by rental car on the next day, and then on Wed., we fly home to Sacramento, where we'll overnight before driving home to Tobin; picking my repaired Explorer up on the way.  Sigh!  Such good times, and now Home for the Holidays!
Wish I'd taken a photo of LUCY!!!!!!
