Yes, Jethro let me down. It's a new record. I've had the car for a whole 2 days. We went down to Springfield's Big Balloon parade and afterwards we got back to the car, which then wouldn't start. These nice guys stopped with some jumpers to help us but unfortunately I think it's the starter not the battery. So we called my son for a ride home and headed off to Theodore's for a lovely lunch while we waited. Then we called the place where we bought the car and they said they would send a tow truck. Just after my son got to Springfield to pick us up we of course tried the car one last time and, yes, of course, he started... *sigh** So.. we called the dealership back, said never mind the tow and instead we drove the car back to the dealership, where, luckily, it refused to start again so they could see what the problem is. Then we all piled into my son's car and went home. The dealership still has the car and of course, it's supposed to snow tomorrow. I tell you. It's always an adventure.

Always.

An adventure.

I managed to get the entire crew out into the yard before the tryptophan kicked in yesterday after dinner.

We adopted an older brother for Jenny today. Jethro will hopefully get me through the winter (and then some) safely... Hopefully!

Mystery Meat...

I couldn't help but pass along this story that just came across the AP:

Mystery meat found on Mass. town's common

Seems someone has been leaving chunks of meat on Framingham's town common. We'll just file this one under "Why?"...

People are strange and getting stranger by the minute.

Fall deer

I love that the deer are so used to me now that I'm able to circle around them easily and get the background that I want behind them. I really should name this little one, I've shot enough pictures of it.

Keeping really busy here, sorry for the lack of updates. I have however updated my MassLive.com blog, so if you want to see something new on the topic of something old, go ahead and take a look here.

Some upcoming projects include that "Sleepy Hollow" shoot I've been grinding my way through and the day after Thanksgiving it'll be Big Balloons in the shape of a 75 foot long Cat in the Hat!

Note to family: Thanksgiving is on. I repeat. Thanksgiving is on. I'll try and call you later but just in case. Thanksgiving is ON.
