Crazy busy day, but filled with good things...figured out the info for Chelsea's speaking gig in Boston for tomorrow night, and picked up Raychel at the airport. She hadn't been to town since late July!
Before heading out to the airport, a friend (thanks, Don!) called me to tell me the moon, Jupiter and Mars were all hanging out in the sky, brightly showing off. I then discovered it was really Jupiter and Venus (thanks, Sue!). The most important discovery, however, is that you simply can't capture such things with a digital camera. Off to Logan I went. Pulling up to the curb, I could tell she had even more luggage than usual, but much to my surprise the extra really large item (3+ feet) was for me!! She asked if I could guess what it was, and I suggested it might be a painting of some sort. It wasn't.
We tried to head to the Helmund for a random dinner, but they required reservations, so we ended up going to Flora, a nice little place near me. We enjoyed the food and headed to my place, where finally, I would get to open this really large item (wrapped in cellophane and 2 slabs of wood)....
I ripped open the cardboard, plastic and then wood pieces....and much to my surprise, I discovered a really beautiful array of stained glass, all framed in a lovely white wash wood! It's gorgeous!!! Brandon and Raychel jumped through hoops to get it made just right, including the collusion of a friend who broke into my place (yup!), measured the window over my couch and provided the information needed to create a masterpiece. Wow! Anyway, thanks to their shenanigans I have the most gorgeous window in Cambridge!! Now....to figure out how to hang it...hmm. 
Cool to have RayRay back in town, and so thrilled about the special gift from her and her hubby. Thanks, guys!!
