Presenting A List of Things I Did This Weekend That Were Fun:
Went to a Civil War swap meet. I didn’t buy anything. In fact, I didn’t even shop the room. I did, however, sit with my good friend Wendy. I knit, Dale shopped. It was fun.
Went to visit The USS John F. Kennedy. We didn’t get on board because the lines were so long we figured we’d wait forever and get turned away because by then it would be too late. But we did get to admire it from a distance.
Went to Fanueil Hall and had Guinness at Ned Divine’s Pub. While there we met up with Julie and her husband, Chris. I had met Julie at SPA but we didn’t get much of a chance to visit. So, when I heard that they were coming to Boston for the weekend I asked her if she’d like to get together. And we did. We chatted and drank good beer and got to know each other better.
Went to Limoncello’s for dinner. Julie and Chris had suggested this spot and the four of us had a wonderful meal. And more chatting and getting to know each other better. Julie and Chris are good people. If they come to your town, you should visit with them.
As for the rest of my weekend, I simply went to my couch. I sat and watched TV and knit on the Seraphim Shawl.
It really was a fun-filled weekend.
Kathy Said,
What a gorgeous picture of the JFK!
Judy Said,
And the weather…. it was gorgeous! Sounds like a very relaxing weekend.
Ruth Said,
That’s a wonderful picture of the Kennedy. B served on the Kennedy in the 80s, and was going to take the kids down there this weekend, but having learned his lesson after encountering the crowds the last time the ship was in Boston, gave it up as a lost cause. It’s too bad, really … I wish they’d had some way for former crew members to avoid the line.
margene Said,
It is always fun filled when you get to knit with other knitters, and have beer and dinner with them, too. I’m shocked there are no pictures of knitting in this post! Where’s Seraphim!?
amanda Said,
Sounds like a great way to spend a weekend!
Emily Ivey Said,
That does sound like a fun weekend – it looks like you had really pretty weather too!
sean Said,
Limoncello is great, I agree! But we haven’t been there in a while…going to have to rethink that and put it back on my list!
Manise Said,
I had a chance to visit the USS Kennedy with my school when I was 10- it was docked just outside the port of Thessaloniki, Greece where I grew up. The USS Kennedy spent quite a bit of time in the Mediterranean in the late ’60′s and into the 70′s.
Norma Said,
I’ve been to Limoncello’s — wonderful! Nice that you had a good time with Julie, too.
a Said,
It doesn’t get any better than that! Well. Maybe with shopping.
Lucia Said,
It sounds great! I was a couch potato for most of the weekend, still trying to kick my cold.
Robin Said,
Great weekend! I’m not going to bombard you with comments, but I am catching up…I TOTALLY agree with your Top 10, love the shawl…Koigu is so beautiful!!
claudia Said,
Ah, the joys of the couch.
Wanda Said,
Seraphim was the winner, yay!
Leah Said,
I had the couch thing down, but not the socializing. Must get out more. Sounds like a good time.
Chris Said,
Sounds like a perfect balance between socialing and staying in!
Cookie Said,
Dinner with Julie? /jealous
I’m glad it was such a good weekend.
Kimberly Said,
sorry you couldn’t get on the boat, I mean, SHIP. (GRIN… I need to post about why I said that sometime!) Limoncello’s sounds great. I need to come up to Boston soon. I miss working Downtown!!

Julie Said,
It really was a good time with very good company
Karen Said,
Oh you started Seraphim already! Can’t wait to see it.
Laura Said,
How completely pleasant.
Good food, good company, good knitting. Fun to attend the Civil War swap and get to knit. Ahhh.
Anne Said,
Sounds VERY fun – and relaxing. All good!
Kim Said,
Sounds just wonderful. I’ll have to check out Limoncello next time I’m in Boston. Is is a must-have-reservations place?
Sue Said,
It sounds like you had a lovely weekend ~ joy!
Kelly Said,
What a great way to spend a weekend!
Susan Said,
Sounds like a mellow and groovy weekend!
Birdsong Said,
Lovely! You are probably aware that our Guiness holiday is rapidly approaching… time to dig out the “kiss me, I’m Irish” buttons.
Kim Said,
Hahahaa!! As I am sitting here getting caught back up on blogland, guess what I am sipping on? Limoncello….haha!
It sounds like your weekend was fun!
Donna Said,
What a great weekend. I wish I could claim we did anything at all remarkable. Bill and I are now at the age where a good weekend nap sounds exciting. Oh, so old. Is there anything that isn’t more fun with a pint of Guinness? We have dear friend in Dublin who does some consulting work for the company. So, we’ve adopted them as one of our fav. import (especially Harp.)
JessaLu Said,
Sounds like a great weekend to me!
Did Dale get anything cool?
Theresa Said,
Aren’t those carriers huge? It’s impressive. Glad you had fun.
