Ben and I left orchestra around 11:15 a.m. where Ben was wonderful entertaining himself while I was playing violin with NH Orchestra. We headed for Archibald's Restaurant at Gardner Village where Ben had his favorite creamed broccoli soup with crusty bread to dip. As Ben sat down in the booth right next to me he said, "I really like it when we're alone together." My heart melted. Afterwards we walked around looking and taking pictures with the witches, bought Ben a Halloween drawstring bag at the antique store, feeding the ducks, buying candy bones at the candy shop, and a cookie at the bakery. It was a beautiful, perfect fall day and so pleasant to be outside. As we were driving away from Gardner Village I said to Ben, "Did you have a good time?" "No, because I had to get my picture taken."
I later made Ben an 8x10 collage of pictures to show it's worth it to keep the memories. Does he belief it? Probably not.
