Ok  it's suddenly turned cold. There are times I think about living in a warmer climate. Now in reality I'm not going anywhere, but when the temperature is at 20 degrees there is little incentive  to go out unless you really have to though I understand it will get much colder in a couple of days.

Lets see now, we are going through a minor remodel at work. It seems to be a more behind scenes update. I was there in 2007 when they did a major remodel. This building used to be a horse drawn trolley car house from 1863 until 1893 when they went electric. As they tore up the floor you could see remnants of trolley tracks. In the basement half the building was horse stalls, the other a maintenance area.

In the early 1930's it became the Big Bear Supermarket and about twenty years later we, (Star) moved in. This is the exterior present day right across the street from the Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

I've worked in many stores over the last, near, 46 years but this was always my favorite. It used to be the highest grossing store in the chain but that was twenty years ago. The pictures below are from the 2007 remodel but it looks the same now. It's always been a favorite store. I remember seeing Julia Child there back in the '80s. She lived nearby in Cambridge.

That's where I work. 

 

 

 

 

 

Arlene is doing very well. We were discussing our next trip to you know where. We only got to go once this passed year and that little island has become part of our lives. If I had the money we would move there.



Well I've got a date with a cloths dryer.

I'm outta here.
