I need to focus on learning how to post my pix. Please be patient. I know you will. So, they're not in order. These pix are from The Boston Marathon, which was on Monday. We live across the street from where they take their big turn, onto Boylston St., where the finish line is..An American woman came in 3rd, with two Kenyans, who are impossible to beat. (this pic of this smiling woman is NOT her... we couldn't believe this woman was all smiles after 26 miles! How super!!! She was just great, as you can see)
The folks standing with us were the aunt and uncle of the 3rd place woman..!! They were so excited!!! My sister in law, watching on the tv, called my husband's cell, so we could tell them where they were in the last, final miles. They were so sweet, and so proud of her coming in 3rd..Who wouldn't be, eh?
The wheelchair races were just incredible!!!! I am in awe of them. There was also a man "running, yes..running," on prosthesis.. My husband and I both, broke down. We just stood and looked at each other. How often we complain about aches and pains.. It was humbling, to say the very least. I believe, and could be wrong, but think he was a veteran.
I tried to get some pix of different country folks, but not many here. On the way home, we passed a favorite antique shop that I don't dare go into, but sometimes stand in front of an drool.. This window was a killer!! For me, anyway.. I just loved everything in it. Then...As we walked a couple more blocks to our place, I stopped at this bldg. which was just rehabbed. It came out so lovely!!!
Hope you like them.
It felt so good to sit and chat.. Back to work now..
xo to all,
penney
p.s. I included a photo of 2 heroes of mine from the other night. (Proud Dad and son)
Also, the antique store is tucked behind the other shot? sorry..I have no idea why...
