Yesterday, my plans included closing on our new home by the sea, so I was glad to see this at the Dedham Registry of Deeds:
The Dedham Registry of Deeds has been used for important plans before.
I got the key to our new home, which was more colorful than planned.
Even though I had no plans to do so, I then decided to pick up my boyfriend Michael at the dentist. On my drive there, I remembered that fellow blogger Val Boyko (whose excellent blog is part of my daily plans) had plans to spend the day in Boston.
I thought Robert Burns, who was Scottish like Val, had written
The best laid plans of mice and men often gang aglay
but he really wrote
The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft a-gley
so my plans to use a Robbie Burns quote to introduce photos of our time yesterday with Val gang aft a-gley.
If I’d planned it, I couldn’t have had a lovelier time meeting Val.
My plans for the evening included celebrating the house closing with Michael and my son Aaron at our favorite Chinese Restaurant. Our fortunes there exceeded my wildest plans.
That last fortune was Michael’s. I wonder who that person is and how that will affect our plans.
As usual, I have plans to share music in this blog.
I hope your plans include leaving a comment below.
Thanks to Val, Michael, Aaron, Birds of Tokyo, everyone else who helped me plan this post and — of course! — to you, for including this blog in your plans today.
Smiling … love the Robbie Burns quote!
It was so lovely to meet you and Michael yesterday 💕
It was our great fortune to spend time with a beautiful, smart, and loving person like you, Val! ❤
It takes one (or both) to know one 💕
May your years in the new house be as colorful as the key, dear Ann.
And, oh, what a beautiful closing day you had.
Oh, what a beautiful comment you’ve planned here, dear Mark.
I’m sure you couldn’t have planned for a more picture perfect closing day Ann and including Val in your plans for the day must have made it all that more delightful!
Congratulations on your new home and its colourful key! Hope your plans include lots of time spent listening to the waves outside your front door!
My plans include lots of time spent listening to you, Louise! ❤
Wishing you lots of happiness in your new home. 😊
Many thanks! ❤
I’m so glad you and Val had a wonderful time together, and while I hadn’t planned to share a video I can’t resist Eddie Izzard’s thoughts on mice and men which sound completely unplanned.
Brilliance like this is usually planned, Chris. ❤
Lovely to see you both! And all the best with your plans.
Lovely to see you here!
A rainbow of happiness and good fortune be yours in your new home! It feels like summer has finally arrived. Nice to spend it with family and friends. Now to get the cats used to the idea of moving. Maybe show them seaside movie clips. Have fun Ann.
Maybe I should plan to show the cats movies of salt water fish. Thanks for the fun comment!
I like your exPLANation! 👏😻
I love how you plan your comments! ❤ xxxoo
😻✌️
It was great that you three met – planned or not. Enjoy your new home
Another great comment planned by you, Derrick. ❤
I guess William P. O’Donnell planned on making sure everyone knew he was Register of Deeds, seeing as how it’s printed on both doors.
I guess you planned another observant comment.
Enjoyed a lot!
I’m so glad!
Beautiful peoples!!!!! And congratulations on that key’s purpose!
Beautiful comment, Colleen! ❤
