SHEILAS BOSTON TEA PARTY

People told me Boston is a great city. People were right! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to that historic city and all the surrounding towns. Besides boasting a beautiful harbor, great architecture, and wonderful history, Boston can brag of some wonderful eateries. Every meal we ate was a treat, and the waiter we had at Red Bones was probably the best waiter I've ever had in my life. He gave us both great service and great conversation, and by the time we left we were all buddies. The dance scene is great. I had a wonderful time dancing my feet off (and hopefully a few of the calories I consumed). And all you writers, you must add visiting Concord to your bucket list. The town is charming. (I wanted every house I saw!) It's a special treat to tour Louisa May Alcott's house and when you see Walden's Pond you wind up asking, "Where's the pond?" because that little pond you envisioned looks more like a lake. It's huge! We almost brought back a white pebble from the pond as a memento, but when my son went to pick it up for me it turned out to be something slimy (we suspect from the nose of the grizzled kayaker loading his kayak on his boat). So, no pebbles from the pond for little Sheila. Instead, all I brought back home with me were extra pounds. Guess I should have gone dancing more than once!
And how about you? What's the best thing you've done this summer?
