We started the day slowly --- or at least I started the day slowly. Earla and Shirley were moving much more quickly than I was. We shared coffee, shredded wheat and bananas though, and then we were off.
Earla and I went to Marlborough (or Marlboro, depending on which sign you were reading) for a folk art festival. We would have arrived with no hitch at all if I'd copied the name of the venue correctly. It was at the Royal Plaza, and I wrote Royal Palace Trade Center. We did find it though, with a little maneuvering - something Earla is getting very good at.
It was a wonderful show. There were many exhibits by many talented artisans. I enjoyed the wares, but especially talking to the artists about their work. We refrained from making too many purchases. About noon, we enjoyed a deli sandwich and water and the company of a woman from New Hampshire. She had a friend who was showing her art. We left in the early afternoon and came back to Shirley's.
Shirley was in and out and we spent the afternoon knitting and crocheting and, of course, playing Scrabble. After a dinner of pizza and Halloween candy, we got back to the Scrabble marathon; it was Super Scrabble time, and we had quite a time of it... some high scores and some frustration with the letters as well. It's so much fun to have a third person who enjoys Scrabble as much as we do.
Shirley was gracious enough to let us catch up on our laundry.
And, there were many trick or treaters coming to the door throughout the evening.
We are, now, settling in to watch the World Series and get ready for bed.
Tomorrow, we will go to church with Shirley and, then, head to the north east corner of MA.

So you were artsy fartsy-sounds like a fun afternoon. Super Scrabble and trick or treat at the same time must have been fun. It is the 5th inning of the ball game with Yankees ahead--YUK! I just watched Ugly Betty which I tevo'd and I have saved each one in case you want to watch them. Shirley's daughter or daughters took my kids out for Halloween in their neighborhood when we first moved to MA. We were adopted in a sense by the Adams/Rydberg/Grahn extended family members. Shirley used to be the office administrator at Emanuel. Some rain today, still rather warm during the day and next week it is back to temps in 30's at night. Nice you will be going to church with Shirley and have a safe drive to your next destination. It's great to hear from you. Love, Betty
