It’s funny how the stars align some times. And this was one of those times. We’ve known for some time that our son and daughter-in-law were expecting. What we haven’t known was when the Grandparent Genes were going to kick in. It turned out it as in Paris, walking back from dinner on our last...

Sally and I have been back from Paris for about 10 days now. We flew back to Boston the day after the first large storm blew thru New England, forcing us to reschedule our flight and stay an extra day in Paris. I know, that was tough to take, right? Especially given what we came back to… We...

In the Spring of 2015, Sally and I attended a pre-release party hosted by Northshore magazine for its Spring Homes issue. Upon our arrival, we learned that the 1000 sq. foot beach cottage we renovated for our clients in the Little Neck section of Ipswich had made the cover of the magazine! We were thrilled!...

During the past week, Boston has received more snow that it gets in an entire winter. In fact, we have received more snow in a week’s time than has ever been recorded in the city’s history!
