Photo by myself on Canal Street.
Buying and selling go on til the wee hours in this neighborhood, where many people come in search of a bargain.
Late on a Sunday night, a jewelry store was still open. Sidewalk hawkers sold their wares under lights connected to generators. People milled about in the cold night air.
I had absolutely zero time to myself in Boston this weekend, so I don't have any photos to show of that lovely city. (Argh!!) My mom and I were there visiting my grandfather, who is a whopping 98 years old.
He's doing well, newly located in a nursing home, because he can no longer care for himself. It's a big change for him, but he's relatively healthy and in good spirits. Mom and I took him out to lunch, where he ate tremendous amounts of food. May we all live to that age and be so spirited!
I have to say that visiting the nursing home put life in perspective - we are fortunate to have our health and freedom while we do.

Family-time is so precious. Gives you a feeling of belonging and coming from somewhere. Being charged up in energy to go on. To be thankful for all that you've lived through with you loved ones.
Wishing you a good week dear Kitty!
susu is so right! & that is so sweet that you & your mom spent time with your grand dad.

Thank you dear, Susu!
I see you spent time recently with your mother, in Paris!
Funny we don't appreciate such things til we're older.
Hi Lily
Thanks dear! It was a nice time. :-)
What a nice way to spend your weekend - I'm sure your grandfather appreciated the visit! Being able to spend time together is such a gift. Good luck to your grandfather in his new place!
