Primary Day In Massachusetts – Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2009
Special Election Sign in Cambridge
It’s Primary Day in Massachusetts. On Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2009 voters in Massachusetts will go to the polls in the special primary to choose candidates to vie for the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat.
It’s disheartening that expectations for voter turnout are so low. Not only will our new Senator have large shoes to fill after Teddy Kennedy’s long and illustrious career but the seat has previously been held by
- John F. Kennedy
- Daniel Webster
- John Quincy Adams
So – take a moment from your day and head to the polls.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
And don’t forget – the special state election is scheduled for Tuesday, January 19. 2010. The deadline to register to vote in the Special Election is Dec. 30, 2009.

Window Boxes Decorated For Winter
Wondering what to do with your window boxes now that winter’s on its way? Here are some of my favorites spotted while we were on the Marblehead house tour this afternoon.
Window Box with Pineapple and Greens
Pair of Marblehead Windowboxes
Marblehead Window Box with Deer
I’ve yet to put window boxes on my old house but when I do I’ll remember these when winter comes.
It was a beautiful day for a house tour. The sky was clear and blue and most of last night’s snow had melted from the ground. Marblehead has an astonishing collection of restored pre-1800 houses. What a treat!
Next weekend is the last of the holiday house tours for 2009. Make your plans now!
