Cartoons for the yhear

Every year, Susan and I put cartoons we admire on the fridge, and then start again.  Here are some memorable ones, mostly from the Boston Globe.
I hope you can enlarge them adequately.

Holiday fun

Haven't seen Star Wars yet, but the season has been delightful so far.
Here are a few pictures from the past several days.

Christmas Eve AM , brunch with the Mazzoli's, and Scott, Cheryl
Alex and Carter.  A quick stop over at Bill Daley and June Snow's to show the boys their Xmas decorations

Back to our house for a little "War" before brunch.

Carter, Alex opening presents

And the family picture
Carter, Scott, Alex, Cheryl, Carol, Rigo, Doug, Susan
In the afternoon, I had a concert at 2nd Parish in Hingham,
and then that night, a candlelight service at Old South

Christmas Day, and a brunch at the Daleys
Doug, Bill Daley, Doris and Bill Bassett, Susan,
Glen and Elaine Soulia, Willis Soulia,
and June Snow

And my very special Xmas gift from sister Barbara
an original, signed pastel created by her.

Susan and I took Christmas afternoon by ourselves,
went to Ellisville State Park, and saw lots of seals.
Tomorrow, it is up to Groveland to see Ken, Erin, Jackson and Oliver
Then I stay overnight so as to bring the boys to
Christmas Revels at Sanders Theater, Cambridge.

At Fenway with St. John's Prep

A wonderful time at Fenway Park, attending a football match with Jackson's St. Johns Prep against Xavarian (they lost), but a historic high school football game at Fenway. And a few shots with Carter trips, to Winslow Farm in Mansfield, and a park very near their house.

Winslow Farms is a rescue operation for injured and abused animals.  Incredibly great work.

At Fenway Park, rooting for the Hawks

The largest crowd for a HS game I've ever seen.

Here's the party.

I don't think he looks a day over 38!

First Carter Adventure, Red Maples

Carter and I had our first adventure together, going to Pratt Farm and heaving branches, rocks, and pinecones into the lake.  Also in this blog, the search for the most majestic red maple.

The famous 13-trunk tree, Pratt Farm

He picked up almost every pine cone  on the trail.

And the lake, where all the pine cones were thrown.
