Fall 2005

In early September we eat more sweet corn, because the season is about to end. We were thankful that Scott's job enabled us to try several local farm stands and compare. This year Sunshine Dairy had the best.

On October 8, Scott directed an orienteering meet at Upton State Forest. Steady rain held the attendance down to 70 people. The above is the entire photographic record of the event, showing the wet control markers drying out in our garage. They couldn't be dried outside because it continued raining for a week!

An early snow came on October 29.

Thanksgiving

We started Thanksgiving Day with the family custom of running/jogging/walking in Framingham's Turkey Classic 3.5 mile race. When Scott had his photo taken, he did not know how he looked!

We grew hungry while the turkey took much longer to cook than planned. At last the pop-up thermometer popped.

Lidia, who is studying at Penn State University on a fellowship, came to Boston for the long weekend and stayed with us.

She enjoyed playing Mexican Train very much.
