  • “Norman” Aces Sunday Dog Audition!

    DSC_9053 - Version 22012-10-06-Westie-norman-puppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Say hello to Norman, Boston’s newest canine star!

    Ever since we made Poppy Director of Casting for our Sunday Dog feature, she’s always come through with the most dazzling talent. Norman aced his audition with a strong showing in agility – which means he can give Poppy a real workout!

    Of course, when puppies wear themselves out playing, it means they often sleep better and longer at home (just saying).

    DSC_9065 - Version 22012-10-06-Westie-norman-puppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    At seven months of age, Norman told us that he has a thing for balls – Tennis Balls! Although this active Westie also is attracted to squeaky toys, they have a very short lifespan in his care (if you ever need to a “squeaker-ectomy,” Norman’s your guy).

    DSC_9050 - Version 22012-10-06-Westie-norman-puppy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino (1)

    Norman really enjoys a good Kong toy stuffed with something special. Not an adventurous eater, this inquisitive little character will play with a carrot for 20-minutes before he figures out it’s food. Maybe parents really do have something when they tell their kids, “Eating carrots will help your eyesight” – just look at the sparkle in those eyes!

    No wonder Norman aced his audition!

  • Boston Local Food Festival Photos From Over the Weekend

    Last year we heard great reviews on the Boston Local Food Festival. That put it on our calendar for this past weekend. We made our way to the Greenway, checked in with a few old friends, and got to know some local food folks who were new to us.

    Jeff Barry explains Boston Organics to a visitor. We've been a customer of his for years and were able to tell this woman what a great service he operates!

    Macaroons from Ula Cafe in Jamaica Plain. We've added the cafe to our must try list.

    We'd love to see this great opportunity for local food businesses to show off their wares grow and prosper so we also have a couple of suggestions for the organizers. We would have stayed a lot longer and visited many more vendors but shortened our stay. 

    The music was disruptive and way, way too loud. We found ourselves skipping all the booths that were near the musicians. 

    It was too crowded to really see everything. Using the whole Greenway with vendors on one side of the path and seating and eating areas on the other side would have been a great service to both vendors and visitors.

    Best wishes for an even more successful festival next year.

  • A Columbus Day Salute to the Friends of Christopher Columbus Park

    This is the perfect day to give a round of applause and a pat on the back to the volunteers who make up The Friends of Christopher Columbus Park.

    This waterfront gem wouldn't be the welcoming and attractive part of the city that it is without the efforts of this group. The next time you enjoy the park consider making a small donation of your time or money to the all-volunteer group that makes it a better place.
