Wet snow

Sun, 03/30/2014 - 5:15pm

That was a surprise -- we got some hail and wet snow this afternoon.

Made me feel smart that I ran in the morning. Next week the weather will be much nicer.

Photos

Sun, 03/23/2014 - 2:19pm

Yesterday we bought nice picture frames for the long wall in our living room. They will arrive in a few days and we are picking out photographs to put in them, a fun project.

Last weekend I borrowed two books about the history of Arlington and we enjoyed watching those old pictures as well. Perhaps we'll put a few small frames in the basement with pictures of our immediate neighborhood. The picture that you see here is (apparently) from 1923, when Mr. Lyon was scouting out his land to build houses on. This is now Lyon Village.

Our own house is built on what used to be the Hayes Farm until our houses were built in the mid-1960's. I haven't been able to find a picture of that farm yet -- that would be a great find.

This weekend a new box with Duplo arrived.

Being a father is a wonderful excuse to play with Duplo again.

Scanning old pictures

Today I scanned many of our older photographs.

It was a lot of fun going through these old pictures and it's great to have them digitally now.

First scooter

Tue, 03/11/2014 - 8:21pm

This weekend the weather was very nice and we went to the park. There were a lot of "big" girls with scooters and Nora was looking at them with interest. She had read about scooters in her books, in particular in Jip & Janneke.

Sunday evening we bought her a helmet and a beginner's scooter and we tried it out for the first time yesterday,

She's still learning that she will have to move her leg before the scooter moves, but she enjoyed practicing.

Jim Hash

Mon, 03/03/2014 - 7:09am

Jim Hash, a friendly face in the neighborhood, passed away last week.

We met him when we lived near his house on Custis Street two years ago, and we always stopped for a chat. He loved seeing Nora and always smiled at her. When he learned we were looking for a house, he tried to help us.

It is sad to hear about his passing.
