Faneuil Hall is the place to be today!!

Let's see if i can keep up with the names......I'm not that good at names, but I will give it a try....there was 9 of us today. So there was moi representing @onewhitedog, and we had Bonnie there representing her kitty cat @LilyLuWhoT, and then there is @CountryClare7's Mom was there today, then there was Judy and her partner June who arrived representing their pet @iamDaisyDoo, then there was Monique and Brian that came in honor of their @Ri_Guy, and then, and then we had @gromekcat Mom and Dad was there (having hard time remembering their names, but very nice people. I hope I didn't forget to mention anyone.

We missed @grrlysquirrel75, I don't know if it was just bad timing or she was having a hard time with the transportation section of it, but unfortunately, I guess, will all the ever she put in to getting her, she was shy and embarrassed about holding everyone up and left. We never even saw what she looked like or explored her personality or said Hi! So I'm hope from the bottom of my heart we get a little to do this tweet up again and this time we will exchange phone numbers to easily get ahold of people in need of reconfirmation on times, directions, and where we are all going to meet. Like more of a solid plan than "I showed up, but didn't know what anyone looked like and went home again" I NEVER want to hear that ever. Well, when we go out together next time, we are to exchange every one's phone numbers to each other of who is gong to be there. No more unease looks and confusion. If anyone wants to do this again (and yes, in my eyes, it was a huge success.) This is what I had been looking forward to for the past three weeks - I mean, Nov 12th was burned in my head to meet the people on the other side of the Twitterverse!!! Okay I got there with plenty of time to spare.....I mean I got there in plenty of time, but not enough time to go wandering too far away and get lost.......NOPE, this chick wasn't getting lost down here! :) Wanna see what I saw??? Me too!! :) Oh, and everyone got a kick (and, at first, didn't believe me at all) that my license plates says basically 'Wait For Me'. They said "Nooooo, way!" I said "It's a miracle I'm ready to go anywhere on time, and get their on time should be a different story (or license plate) all together. Some people have a good sense of time, others, like me, just can't manage to stay ahead of that clock. Heehee!! Okay, I'll shut up now and show you what I sawwwwwww :) :) :)

This is the first sight I saw when I hopped into Faneuil Hall....Wow, let's explore! :)

Looking at this picture is the front door to Durgin Park. I was heard that this restaurant started by two people. One person's last name was Durgin and the other last name was Park! Neat huh!

I'm just taking some pictures around where I'm standing outside.....it's nice outside, I only had a sweatshirt on.....let's take a walk around for alittle bit.....

Is that what I think it is?? Let's get closer.......

Ohhhhhh, it is Dick's Last Resort!!!!! I've been to one of these in Texas somewhere.

Got to sneak some pictures in of Quincy Market!!!!!

Nice upper view of Quicy Market!! Lots of food inside here.

Ohhhhh, what is the comossion gonig on over there to the left side of the building.....quick! Let's go see!!!

See!!! There's something gonig on over there and I'm too curious to leave it alone.... :)

Oh, it's a performer struggling to get his body inside the frame of a tennis rack...hmmmmm, yeah, you heard me the first time...... :)

Yep, he does it. I don't really see any tip jar around him, but I'm sure he'll pull them out when the act is done. I'm outta here!

Let's go into the Market place to shop around.....

They have these vendor wagons all over the place wanting to send you home with a "Boston" souvenir! :)

Wanna see the menu???

Let's see here........I'mmmmmm thinking I'll gooooooo, hmmmm, with the Chicken Pot Pie!!! :)

Check that Chicken Pot Pie out with iced tea.....I was in heaven....it was so delicious! :)

MDA Lock Up

I was "arrested" today and participated in the MDA "Lock Up". It was alot of fun and I don't usually do benefits like these (I normally stay with pet benefits since I have a dog), but I wanted to expand my circle and be involved in a great cause.
MDA Lock-Up
Local business and community leaders agree to be "arrested" for having a "big heart" in the fun, MDA Lock-Up. This unique community-wide event raises funds for people with neuromuscular diseases.

So anyways, lol, what happened is that I arrived to the restaurant that was hosting the event Jillian's which is super close to where I live. Anyways, I go there to turn myself in since there is a warrant for my "arrest"......heehee......let me show you!

OH NO! A Warrant for my Arrest!!!!!
Isn't that great!! I never had a warrant out for my arrest before! And then you have to post bail by making a donation which I did (my Mom was with me and she helped post my bail) which wasn't a set amount of money, just a small donation helps. I took some pictures of the room where they have table set up to socialize and Jillian's provided food.......




I arrived at the later part of the day. This event went from 11am to 3pm and I showed up around 2:30. After you post your bail (make a donation), you are paroled by a judge......I HAD TO FACE A JUDGE......I was so scared she wouldn't parole me.......I sauntered over to her and pleaded my case......

Please go easy on me.....I'm a good citizen....
And she slammed the gavel down and stamped my donation sheet "Paroled" and she said if I do this again I would be a repeat offender and I told her you might as well label me as a repeat offender cause you will see me in "court" again, so she gave me this.......


Which is now on my back window of my car! :) I didn't know what to expect in this benefit but they are having another "Lock Up" in September in Londonderry, so I WILL be more prepared to collect donations and be more involved in this benefit than I was today. I just didn't know what to expect. It was so much fun. I think I'll drag everyone I know into this the next time it comes around. So BEWARE! You just might be in the "Lock Up" with me!! :) Have a great night! :) Oh, one more picture before I sign off......they gave me a t-shirt and of course, I had to share it with Jake :)

Manchester Community Meeting

Once a month the city of Manchester has a community gathering at a local restaurant (the restaurant closes at 2pm and opens only for our meeting at 7pm once a month). Well, tonight, there was ice cream social before the meeting. First off, when I got there, I swear this horse was posing for this picture......

"Haha! Go ahead and take the picture, I'm ready!"

"Okay, I'll behave now. Neeiiigh!"
Okay, moving on......the ice cream social was sponsored by a local restaurant called the Puritan Backroom. They have good ice cream there and they brought five flavors tonight.

Which one.....Wait! I want some of each....

There's my mess.... :)
Our mayor was there to answer questions from the public. There was questions about trash pick up, graffiti, and construction (When the heck was the Kelley Street bridge going to be done? Mr. Mayor said December)......

Our Mayor Ted Gatsas was there
Since we walked there (we live in the local neighborhood), I snapped some pictures of some flowers we came across on our walk home.


Other than that, my night was quiet, TV for the rest of the night and I didn't spend a dime today......Bug you all tomorrow! :)
