My View of Life on the Dock
Thanks Brian for the picture.
Finale got a Best Of Boston award for best dessert in Boston for 2008. I got the Tiramisu which was very good but I’d still take the Mrs’ Tiramisu over the one I had here. the Rabbit had the Boston Creme. Each dessert was like a work of art. One of these days I’ll get the Mrs to post her Tiramisu recipe.

I needed about 3 hours more to get the pictures I wanted to at The Aquarium. This is one of those times where you have to balance family time with trying to get the right shot as the girls were going nuts. The Bean excitedly screaming that each exhibit was her new favorite and Snoop Maddie Mad flying up and down the ramps with wreckless abandon. I managed one or two decent snaps out of dozens though.
This one is kinda pretty.

We’re so incredibly fortunate to live here! Any season has its beauty.
This is the first time that Snopp Maddie Mad has used the easel to paint. She didn’t do half bad, but that’s to be expected. She’s gifted. The doctor said she’s 1000000th percentile for artistic ability. Honestly.

Seeing as Evelyn likes the Seagull Poop Pics so much I thought I’d toss another one her way. This is what herring looks like after it has been digested and pooped out of the seagul’s ass. Anyone up for some over easy eggs?

See that thing that looks like a glass Christmas Tree? That’s kinda what it is, and it lights up from inside. Just another one of the totally funky things at Bob and Dave’s.

There are a wide variety of Jesus heads down at Bob and Dave’s. If you have a thing for Jesus heads, Bob and Dave’s is the place to go.

When taking some Christmas window display pictures downtown this morning I noticed the Ice sculpture in front of Art Haven is no longer there. If you didn’t get to see it, here it is-

We have a couple of these floor to ceiling bookcases which sat empty for 4 years or so. We didn’t want to just fill it up with knick-knacky crap and have waited to put stuff we really dig. So the coral I found the other day at Bob and Dave’s has found a new home on this shelf.
