Day 1641: Plans

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.
