Ice Cream Social

So, we had an Ice-cream social at my place of work last week. The entire College was invited to attend this event, and who could pass Ben & Jerry's ice-cream! At the same time, we celebrated our Dean's retirement as the Dean of the College Of Medicine. Good luck and best wishes, John!

Patched Garage Doors

The bottom panels of both garage doors were starting to rot and were coming apart when the doors were being opened or closed. I had to do something about it, so I came up with this patch work. The panels held up good and so far so good. This will buy me some time until I need to replace the doors or have them professionally fixed, and at the same time hopefully I can put some money aside for the replacements. Ouch!

New Mailbox

Finally! My new mailbox is up!
I purchased this mailbox from Home Depot and installed it this weekend. I used the existing 4x4 post but had to cut it to the desired lenght as it was way too long. My kids assisted a little here and there on this project. Turned out pretty good.

Parking Fiasco

I can't figure out why this car was parked like this. Not sure if this was a prank or if the parking breaks weren't set right causing the car to roll back. Weird!

Doggy In The Window

"How much is that doggy out the window?"

Caught this dog peeking out the window on my way to work one morning this week.

Apple Store - Rockingham Mall, NH

I visited Rockingham Mall in New Hampshire on my way back from Norwood MA a few weeks ago. I wanted to pick up some gifts for my kids but didn't have any time due to the busy schedule with my class. While in the Rockingham Mall, I noticed the Apple Store and had to check it out. There was lots to see but I only spent a few minutes as I had to get back on the road.
If you are wondering why I'm posting these now, I'm actually trying to play catch up. I've been busy and haven't been able to blog on a regular basis.

Skyping With Matt

Matt and I have been testing video conferencing using Skype. During one test, the sound was a little choppy, so we used Google Talk for voice and Skype for the video. Worked out pretty good. Matt had an opportunity to say Hi to almost everyone in the office. He's well missed!

Soothing Sunset

This picture was taken on Friday evening as my family and I were returning home after dinner at a restaurant. We went out to celebrate the end of school for Hannah and Sabrina. What a beautiful way to end the day.

Shopping Spree

I went out on a little shopping spree this afternoon. I picked up a webcam from Circuit City and got a good deal on it. Then, I stopped at Home Depot and picked up some wood, a mailbox, and a grass trimmer.
