Best Life

 Still warm with a nice breeze and less humidity today.  A great afternoon to meander through Lincoln Woods State Park.  It was a bit crowded but we managed to find an empty bench near the dock and enjoy the breeze (and the people watching!).  International Axe Throwing Day.  December 2022:                                                                      Kevin and Paul                                                                 Scott and Rebecca                               ...

 Paul's eye appointment - good.  No lasting damage from the corneal abrasion.  Some quick shopping - garage door locks, kitchen faucet pieces.  And then we get this cutie! After dinner at The Beef Barn we treated her to ice cream - Cookie Monster flavor.                                     Despite a rough start (Brianna wanted a chocolate shake for                                       dinner and refused to order real food) we had a nice dinner.                                        She ate her hot dog with a side of bacon with enthusiasm.                        ...

 June 11, 2012.  Megan graduated from Cumberland High School.  Fourteen years, DVM, married, Brianna and a daughter on the way!   Busy, busy, busy.                                                  Me and Megan at Tucker Field, Cumberland 2012                                                            Baby girl Williams in utero 2026 Leaving Rangeley this morning for the drive back to RI we stopped for gas at the local IGA.  Someone has a sense of humor.  Word of the day - jocose.  Meaning marked by high spirits or good humor.  Garrett qualifies as jocose! Fenway meanwhile pouted and ignored us on the ride back.  Normally he...

                                     The final roof trim on the front right was in place early and pretty easily.                                                          Then Paul climbed to the peak and began the painful                                                         process of installing the peak trim while straddling and                                                    ...

  A gorgeous morning to walk.  And with mosquitos chasing me I managed a brisk pace and worked up a nice sweat. o By the time I arrived back at the house Paul was ready to start on the remaining trim.  With me on the peak ladder and him on the short side we managed to install it in one go.  (Taking it up the ladder - harrowing.  Taking it down would have been even uglier.)                                                    The corner pieces (there were 4) was mind boggling                                                         but Paul eventually figured it out.                      ...
