Today is Marathon Monday! The happiest day in Boston. I was down by the finish line Friday to get my Distance Medley hoodie and just soaked up the excitement and energy. Then, being down on Boylston on Saturday - the 4th anniversary of the bombing - was super emotional. There were touching tributes at the two bomb sites and so many people out and about and living life, it just shows that those two men failed - we are Boston Strong!
The Random:
It is not Passover until I have my matza farfel with strawberries!
The Fun:
Beverly Cleary would have turned 101 this past Wednesday. She lived in Portland and set her stories there, so I was so excited to finally go see the statues of Ribsy, Ramona, and Henry - and on her birthday no less!

Oh my goodness - Love those statues! I grew up on Beverly Cleary books!!! What a great childhood memory!
Wish I could have been there to cheer you on!
Fantastic job on your run!
I read those books for the first time when we moved here almost 8 years ago - I read them to my girls. It was a fun way to get introduced to our new area. Then a couple years ago we went to see the statues.
Very nice pics. Hope marathon day goes well.
Lovely pics - thanks for hosting!
Such a fun collection of pics!

Excellent post! Love the statues!
I loved Beverly Cleary's books. Oh Ramona!
Oh, we should definitely check out those statues next time we're in Portland!
It's so great you can experience that marathon. We just watch that movie Patriot's Day. Hard to believe its been 4 years already. Seems like yesterday.
