HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DERRICK

Today is Derrick's birthday--the big 28. Derrick wanted to do lobster for dinner so we braved the sawdust covered floors at Market Basket and picked up a couple of lobsters yesterday. At first it kind of freaked us out to open the fridge and have something move and stare at us, but then we kind of became attached. We decided to name them: mine was spots (on the right in picture below) and Derrick's was "clampy" (on left). May they rest in peace. :) Here are a few pictures from the big day. . .


This is Derrick before his birthday dinner about to put the lobsters that he chose--""spots and "clampy" into a boiling pot of water.

Here's Derrick blowing out the candles on his birthday cake.




. . . And here's Derrick wearing his birthday present. He asked for this rain jacket because he's been soaked several times since we've moved here. About a week ago we had a huge snow storm and then it rained the same day and everything turned into wet sludge. It's definitely different than what we are used to, but we still like it here. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DERRICK!
