{my little romantic}

Leah asked me if we could have a "fancy dinner tonight. Fancy dinners in our house, evidently, just include a table cloth, and Leah dressed up in some fancy dress-up clothes.

She tries to make the table look extra special with paper napkins and the fancy glasses (which are ordinary glasses just used on a fancy dinner day.)
Here she is all dressed for the occasion with her petticoat hanging just so under her too-small Christmas dress and my old fancy shoes. So sweet!

Of course, I think he may have Munchausen Syndrome for computers (the need to break a computer so that he can then fix it) but that is a post for another day!

A Road Trip Down Memory Lane

About this time of year, like most folks, we start getting cabin fever. We just HAVE to get OUT. It doesn't matter where or for what reason, we just have to get out. To keep "OUT" within our budget, we usually drive...aimlessly...find a park, a hike, or bookstore for entertainment. This weekend was no exception in January. We drove throughout MA, RI, CT, and back through MA again in search for some good photo opps to practice with my new camera. We found ourselves at Fitchburg State College, my alma matta. Here's some shots:
