The wild, wild west of the suburbs

You may recall that last spring, we had a mommy turkey lay some eggs in our yard. Well, now I am letting you all know that an injured cayote has taken up in our neighboorhood. Luckily, I haven't seen it personally, and I would like to keep it that way.

Basically the neighborhood has been told by police that we have to live with it. Nice of them to say that! Our children and pets are now inside . . . The police say the animal is too large to snare, and they won't shoot it in a residential neighborhood. So, live with it. It roams our street, my backyard and the elementary school, middle school and high school bus stops. Sooo, I want to know what you all would do if this animal was in your neighborhood, injured, and out during the day.

Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve - We had guests over. The kids played in the basement with the Wii and other toys with two boys. They ate pizza. They had fun.

The adults had salad, delicious wine, tortellini with tarragon and peas, carrots. For dessert the kids had chocolate pie (made from silken tofu - a big hit) and the adults had hand made chocolates from Natick, MA and candied cranberry chocolate tart.

After our company left, we all got into PJs. Naomi was ushered to bed. Then I went to bed. According to Mark, Adam fell asleep while watching a movie, and at 11:50 PM, Mark woke up Adam to change the channel and watch Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve. Mark had a blast. Then they went to bed.

Today we saw the Princess and a the Frog.

Happy New Year!
