Today the boys went to the baseball field at the high school and played baseball for a few hours. While they were there, Philomena and I went to the Downyflake for breakfast. After that, we brought the boys frozen Cokes and Downyflake donuts. They kept playing after their snack, and we headed into town. It started raining, so Philomena rode home, and Mom came to pick me up. After that, we spent a rainy afternoon at home. We watched The Mask and started the Scooby-Doo movie.

Today John decided to take a ride down to the Sunken Ship to see if they sell baseballs. It turns out that they do, so Frankie and Philomena rode their bikes into town, and Mom dropped me off at Children’s Beach, and we all met up there. We went back to the Sunken Ship, and John got a baseball, Frankie got a LEGO set, and then we got some lunch at the Rose and Crown. After that, we went back to Children’s Beach, where the boys played in the water for a few hours while Philomena and I relaxed. Then we went up to the Nantucket Music Center for a ukulele drop-in program; however, it looks like that was canceled, so we ended up going home instead for dinner, relaxation, and bedtime.

Today John and Frankie took a bike ride to the farm and then Stop & Shop. After they got home, Philomena and John took a ride and discovered a new sport: disc golf. They went to the Nantucket Disc Golf Course and even met a new friend there who taught them to play. They found a bin of free discs to play with. They also went to Island Variety, where John bought himself a wallet, and then got lunch and ice cream from a place nearby. They went back to the disc golf course and played another round before heading home. We had dinner and then a movie night—Frankie chose The LEGO Movie.

Today Philomena and John went shopping at Stop & Shop. They rode their bikes all the way there and back with a little wagon to hold the groceries. Later on, our new tire arrived for the car on the ferry, and Philomena went downtown to pick it up and get it to our neighbor Andy, who dropped it off. After that, the body shop picked up the car and repaired the tire. We are back on the road!

Today Frankie felt sick, and while Mom took him to urgent care, Philomena, John, and I planned to go to the Downyflake Restaurant for breakfast and one of their old-fashioned donuts. On the way there, though, my wheelchair toppled off the curb. Luckily, it was right in front of the hospital, so the doctors and nurses took me in, checked me out, and made sure I was okay.

In the meantime, Mom drove the kids home so Frankie could rest because he was diagnosed with strep throat. On the way, she got a flat tire, but my wheelchair was in the car, so Philomena rode her bike to the hospital to be with me. John drove the wheelchair to the hospital, and Mom rode John’s bike alongside him. Then Philomena and John rode home so Frankie wouldn’t be alone. The nurses at the hospital found a taxi driver who could accommodate my wheelchair and gave me a ride home. Mom walked home because the weather was so nice.

After that, we had quiet time at home before bed and watched the end of the movie Big Daddy.

Today we slept in. John set up our new hose reel and connected the hose. Our new washing machine arrived, and Frankie and Mom did the first load of laundry. John and Philomena rode their bikes to the landfill to dispose of our garbage. After that, all the kids rode their bikes into town to the bike shop. Frankie got the biking gloves he wanted, and Philomena got the basket she wanted for her bike. John, Frankie, and I had fun flying the drone. After shower time, we played a family game of bingo. I won once, and John won once. We finished off the day by finishing Major League II.

Today, Frankie and I flew the drone around. Kali, our dog, got loose, but we found her after about 15 minutes. Mom took Philomena, John, and Frank to the beach. After they got home, Mom fixed the outdoor faucet, and we hooked up the outdoor shower—Frankie got a little wet. The boys played wiffle ball in the front yard and rode their bikes to Bartlett’s Farm twice. Then we watched a movie called <em>Major League II</em> before bed.

Today we saw Newsies Jr. at the Dreamland Theater. Newsies Jr. is a youth adaptation of the Broadway musical, telling the story of young newspaper sellers in New York City who strike against unfair working conditions. Then we had lunch at the Brotherhood of Thieves restaurant. We went home afterward and had a lazy afternoon. The boys played cards and worked on Frankie’s puzzle with Mom. We watched the Yankees play a doubleheader and had pizza for dinner.

Today we stayed home in the morning. Frankie assembled our new outdoor shower all by himself. In the afternoon, we went to Paul’s house to visit with Dan, Jenn, Avery, and Colby before they flew back home to Colorado. After that, Philomena, John, Frankie, and I rode into town and hung out at the library after stopping by the bike shop. Then we came home for dinner and a little more puzzle time before bed.
