We just got back from a lovely time with friends at Sandhills Beach near Barrington, where we played bocce. We were promised all week that the weather today would be sunny and 25 degrees. You can see from the picture that it was in fact foggy, and I was comfortable in a wool sweater. Anyway, here's the story about the bocce set: we found it at Frenchy's for 18.99 and bought it, although it was missing the little white ball. So we went to the company website and ordered a replacement. There was no place on the form to enter payment info, so we assumed they would contact us. Nope, they sent it for free! I thought that was fabulous and pleasantly surprising.
