But I've been married to your father for 30 years

Bernie's been (somewhat) sidelined due to an injury. That doesn't stop him from making sure my mother knows where he is at all times.

ELM's home from AU for grad school-this means more maps of Lot 65.

The pesto schedule

Uncle Bern makes some mean pesto from his basil. My parents have quite the green thumb-you should have seen the total Hippie Garden back at 66 East Leverett Road. Not sure about the need to record the batches made on the Family Calendar, but should we really be that surprised considering?

Bernie's notes for food

Bernie faithfully labels all food items so that there is on question as to what it could possibly be. Considering everything frozen is wrapped in 44 layers of reused tin foil and plastic ziploc bags, his labeling comes in handy.

An aside: ELM is officially home from AU (at least for 2 years). More Bernie Notes fun sure to come.

The longer we're away, the more things stay the same

Berne makes some mean potato latkes

I come home to the Herst, open the fridge, and find MAGIC BERNIE CREATIONS.
