Church was canceled. Ryanhood merged their two Club Passim shows together and canceled a show in New Hampshire that was to be a send off for the Mama Bus.
Sunday morning, the day the hurricane was to hit, I insisted on taking Ezra outside right now, in the rain, because this might be the last chance we have to play outside for a while. Well, it turns out that the time we spent playing in the rain was pretty much the worst of the rain we received. Oops...how was I to know? And although the wind took down some big tree limbs, for the most part damage was minimal in our area.
I am really glad we played in the rain though...lots of big smiles from our little guy...which made for lots of big mama and dada smiles.
Since the show and church were canceled we had the afternoon free. We hopped over to spend time with our friends Trish (author of He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not and A Maze of Grace) and Steve who live really close to where we are staying (didn't want to venture too far should the hurricane really come). It was so nice to be cozy inside with friends while the wind was roaring outside. I love getting together with friends just because I really want to see them...and not really sure exactly what we'll talk about...and then leaving 3+ hours later, still not having exhausted all the conversation welling up in us. Thanks guys!!
And backing up a little...
On Saturday my first Boston roommate, Melissa McGreevy, and our friend Paul Ma flew in to town for the Ryanhood show. We spent the afternoon together having an indoor picnic since our outdoor plans to hang out along the Charles River got rained out. It was actually 9 years ago this past weekend that we first moved into together on Commonwealth Ave. Oh memories. :)
