which city?, witch city

Kristen pointed out that we were nearing Salem; and it was the Sunday before Halloween. Hmmm . . after bungling it by following the signs to Salem, New Hampshire (uh . . at one point I did live in New England, but clearly California has pushed certain geographic information out of my brain), we did make it to Witch City. There was madness afoot everywhere. Take a peek.
Happy Halloween!

On our way back to Boston, we took a day to take pictures for fun.
classic vermont cow in pasture:
Kristen had never had cider donuts, hence the need to stop by Cold Hollow Cider Press for a snack.

Simone and Scott were married at the Edson Hill Manor in Stowe Vermont today. Simone is also an amazing craft artist, who made her own decorations including bouquets of paper flowers. As owners of Greenward in Cambridge’s Porter Square, they made an effort to have a unique and romantic destination wedding that was environmentally conscious as well. They even purchased carbon credits, in lieu of wedding favors, to offset guest travel carbon emissions.
Channeling a glamourous late 50’s feel, Simone vamped it up, Scott played it cool.

Saturday, Sara wed Brian, in a small ceremony overlooking an old cemetery in Mission Hills Park. A former student at Brooks, Sara was a delightful model/bride, seeking out the best light at all times, and intuitively knowing how to pose herself and other around her. Made it fairly easy on me now didn’t it. Visually a kick-ass wedding. Here are a few favs. Sara’s sleeves were done by her now-husband Brian, in case you were interested.

Last night we watched the Sox take game 7. It was a wicked awesome night. Trent asked me during the top of the ninth, why Ortiz was wearing goggles. He’s new to this Red Sox Nation, but has embraced it thoroughly; even getting us a new hd flatscreen on which we will watch the Sox take the world series. Sorry Colorado. My heart’s with Boston.
* wicked was used purposefully to evoke various southie and dot grins

An update for those with whom I have not spoken; we are far enough away from the major fire sites to be okay to stay in our home and keep track of news by television.

Kristen took me to my first rodeo Friday night.
I got called a yankee, and got called out for wearing chucks in the arena.
Too bad I didn’t bring my Tony Lama’s with me. Not that they would have fooled anyone here.
We were both covered in dust, head to toe to lens.

So, T and I will tie the proverbial knot this Saturday. We are off for a few days to San Francisco. Images of wedding and mini-moon will follow.
