Arthur T Demoulas Is Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have our Market Baskets! Solidarity worked!!! The governors from Massachusetts and New Hampshire played a heavy role in resolving the situation, because it had such an impact on the local economies; surrounding stores were suffering and local vendors and suppliers lost tons of work. I wonder if Economic and Sociology courses will study this, in the future?

I absolutely LOVED MB's brand new store and now I am able to shop there again. A year or more ago, the Demoulas family closed two stores on 101A and opened up a brand new, huge, gorgeous one, right next to one of the old locations. What a FaNtAsTic store! It was such a crush when I thought it wasn't going to open again.

On a sadder note, I was supposed to be going to the USTA Open, today. I LOVE MY PEEPS, they are going to FaceTime me during one of the good matches, so that I can still "be there"!!! LOL!

Been So Busy

Finally had some time to work on this sweater!

Been many many weeks, poor project has been dragged to Districts, the Cape, Massachusetts and to the beach! Just the sleeves to go and it's ready for the cold weather to come. :D

New Hampshire's Heavy Heart

Jim Foley will be greatly missed. For more than two years, he's been a topic of interest for the local news, especially since this was his second kidnapping. His recent death has effected NH, so much.

Next to lose his life, Steven Sotloff, is another New Hampshire native. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers...

Market Basket Might Be Fighting

But Whole Foods just opened their first New Hampshire location, in Nashua, NH!!!!

There's an in-house pub selling all local, NH craft brews! Wicked fun! (Ah, drinking and shopping leads to spontaneous munchie shopping!)

LOL! No, I didn't go to the Grand Opening... I didn't go NEAR the opening! The lines to the door were wrapped like those at Disneyland and the line of cars into the lot, were not much better! :D Not that I am surprised. With the loss of the two Market Baskets, Shaw's, even the Walmart Superstore's lines are jammed 24/7, with the loss of store options. I just wish another Whole Foods would come in, closer to Amherst. That end of Nashua is quite the trip (lights included).

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

One of our favorite restaurants, in Nashua, to celebrate special occasions.

The birthday girl, with the toss of the hair!

Proud sister, enjoying the celebration!

The three ladies!

My best advice for my beautiful daughter, on her 15th birthday;
      "All paths lead somewhere. Chose the path that has a heart."

By The Water

My FAVORITE seafood restaurant, Markey's (Seabrook, New Hampshire). Stopped by there to pick the girls up after their weekend stayed at their aunt and uncle's summer cottage, in Maine. As they headed back we met up at Markey's to grab the girls, a quick dinner and mini birthday celebration.

And a party crasher, too!

No More Hours

For Market Basket employees. It's a sad day, but without things rolling through the system, there's nothing on the shelves to sell.

Hannaford, Whole Foods, Shaws, Walmart.... All but Walmart and Shaws are super far away. Not only are we now paying more for food, it costs more to get there.

I have to admit, I am stuck somewhere in the grey area..... Even if Artie T is given the company

Not ALL My Plants

Some have not been eaten!!!

Mr. Bee seems happy that's the case!!!

The Bees were also buzzing around these foxgloves, too! This is my foxgloves' second show. Thankfully, the deer don't like them! (But they do like the hollyhocks and you can see I planted some just behind the foxglove, from the "farm" I grew early this season).

If you look carefully at the white foxglove, you can see the deer deliberately went over the foxgloves to eat the hardy hibiscus, behind!

Big Districts Weekend

This weekend and next!!!

Cheering my team on. We had someone on just about every court, working hard.

It was so incredibly hot, the ladies were definitely "Glistening" A LOT!!!!

Although there's tennis going, all day, there's just one more round for us, this evening, at 5:00. Could end as late as 11:00! Definitely glad this weekend's Districts is literally in my backyard, makes it easy to skip home between matches.

Unsure of where next weekend's districts will be... but all the possible locations are an hour away or less!!!
