Not Going Back to School Breakfast

 I recently hosted a celebratory “We’re Not Going Back to School Breakfast” for a group of retired teacher friends. We usually go to breakfast at Stars in Hingham about once a month. This time I invited the group instead to my new home as each of these ladies had helped me make the move, and I wanted my friends to see my new home.

Folks ask if I miss my former home and my response is, “Heck no. I brought it all with me. :-)”  That includes this beautiful china which had belonged to my maternal grandmother, and which had been stored in the basement for many, many, many years. The mark on the bottom is “Theodore Haviland Limoge France.” I fully intend to use all of my pretty china, and Lord knows I have plenty of it. 

Here are the happy retirees, all former Weymouth teachers. We all loved being teachers, but retirement is also great fun. 

My former home is going on the market on Wednesday.  I will admit that the “Coming Soon” sign on the front lawn did make me teary eyed. I truly loved that house, but this one level home is perfect for me. 

I am happy to note that I have made significant progress in my quilt studio. It’s not totally done, but I have unearthed my machine and cleared off my cutting table. I’m hoping to finish two quilts for an upcoming quild show. One just needs binding, a sleeve, and a label while the other may not be done in time.

Hope all is going well in your life. Have a wonderful week.
