The One With 60 Points

 Earlier tonight I witnessed something I never thought I would see in a Celtics game. It began with the Celtics being down by 32 points at the beginning of the second half.

Yikes!

But the team fought back and tied the game at the end of regulation. In overtime, they came back to bear the Spurs and win by 3.

What is most amazing is that Jayson Tatum tied Larry Bird for the most points ever in a Celtics game with 60. I missed Larry score in back in 85...but it was amazing to see Tatum do it in 21.

Wow! What a game!

The One Where We Return To A Restaurant

 Today we did something we haven't done on more than a year. We returned to live, in person eating at a restaurant as part of our April Vacation. Shortly after getting my second Moderna Covid Shot, we celebrated by going to the Cheesecake Factory in Peabody.

It felt weird to be back in a restaurant. Although we sat outside for extra safety, it was good to be back.

According to Bri, "it was fun, except the sun was bright. But it was not really that bad."

Kiff added, "it was really fun, but very different."

Emmie and I both got Orange Chicken and Bri and Kiff got the Chicken Romano.

Sure, it might seem like a simple thing, but our return to live eating was definitely something we will always remember.

The One With Easter 2021

 

 

Today is Easter Sunday. Happy Easter to all. We have opened baskets, come up with a new video idea (with the toy chicks), and watched Mass on TV. Thanks Easter Bunny. The baskets were great!!!

 

It is a little bittersweet though....it is the first Easter without Mom Number 2. We love you.

 

We made our Easter eggs yesterday and Bri and Emmie made bird's next cookies. They were yummy.

 

Happy Easter. He is risen!!!

The One With The Busy Good Friday And Hot Wheels

 

 

 

Yesterday was Good Friday. Unlike most Good Fridays that I remember, it was fairly sunny but chilly (most Good Fridays in my memory are rainy....though there were passing showers yesterday).

 

We had quite a busy Good Friday. We started by getting an oil change in Emmie's car and having a quick MacDs breakfast. We wanted to get a good start on the day. Then, we watched an episode of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER as we ate. It was the one where Wally was in charge of the blind date committee. I love that one.

 

Next, we headed to visit my mom at the Cape. We brought an Easter basket and also some Easter decorations to add a little spring festivities to the house down there. We spend a couple hours there, had lunch from the Yarmouth House of Pizza, and had a brief visit from others as well.

 

When we headed off, we voyaged to Gillette Stadium, where we went to the HOT WHEELS exhibit across the street. That was a blast. We saw all sorts of life sized - and monster truck sized - hot wheel cars. We saw the largest car in the World (Big Foot 10 I believe), which was several stories high. Amazing wheels. We saw lots of other great cars including bone crusher and a yellow and black Camaro I'd love to own.

 

Then we went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries, which was great. We voyaged home, where we watched something on TV. The Kids went to bed and Emmie and I watched SCHOOL OF LIFE, a great made for TV movie starring a young Ryan Reynolds as a teacher. It was awesome. Then, Emmie and I capped off a great evening and went to bed.

 

What a great day!!!
