Dallas Hill Road, Dallas Plantation, Maine

 This morning we walked down Dallas Hill Road.  A brisk (to keep ahead of the biting flies) 2 miles was a perfect way to start the day.  Although poor Fenway did get bit on the nose.   :(  








Through the years we have walked Dallas Hill frequently.  Take a right at the end of the driveway and there are 2.5 miles to Saddleback Lake.  With very little traffic, it is perfect for dog walking and kid walking.  Take a left at the end of the driveway and there is a steep hill.  A great workout and at the top is an awesome view of the mountains and family!

                                                                Megan, Scott and Kevin

                                                    Gypsy, Scott, Fenway and Maddy

                                           Kevin, Scott, Cheyenne, Gypsy, Maddy and Fenway

                                        Megan                                                        Scott


                                       Me                                                            Kevin


                             The neighbor's cow (Found wandering more than once down the road)

                                                            Megan on Moon

                                               Scott                        Kevin, Cheyenne and Scott


                                                    Scott                                    Kevin        
                                               

                                                        Megan                            Kevin and Kyle
                                            

                                                        Scott (looking for moose)

                                                                    Saddleback Lake

And Paul finished the shelves in the bathroom closet.  The doors and rollers are ordered.  
Looks good!  I can't wait to finally get organized.  To be continued....

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.

Ocean Reef Yacht Resort, Freeport, Bahamas

 It was such an amazing day I don't even know where to start.  After getting all set on the dock last night, talking about our crossing (and our mistakes) and waiting for the adrenaline to subside, we finally fell into bed at 2am. Although the crossing did not go as planned, I am still ecstatic to be here!  The West End is merely a stopping point to check in.  There is a gift shop (with little to no stock), a man selling conch salad, a beach with 2 people, the customs office and marina office.  That's it.  We walked the area in just a few  minutes. The channel out was just as narrow as I remembered .  How we maneuvered in the night - I don't know. As soon as we hit deeper water - 2 sea turtles!  One seemed to pose for the camera but I still couldn't capture him.  So cool! And lo and behold - the wind and seas were favorable!  We raised the sails, turned off the engines and sailed to our destination.  A glorious ride at 6-9 knot...
