Weekend Reads: Decamping to Mom's
The snow has melted in Boston, so no more XC skiing for me. This weekend I'm heading up to my mom's and I'm helping her out with a dinner party. I'm hoping to take a walk on the beach and sit by a blazing fire for a bit, too. I have two books on my Kindle and mom told me she bought some chai tea--doesn't that sound like a divine way to spend an afternoon? What are you doing this weekend?
