Adventures with Brianna and Emily

                        While I was at a doctor's appointment, Paul, Fenway and the girls walked around the                                 Amica complex. 


                                                                Emily and Brianna


                    Leaving Lincoln early to grab the girls and Fenway our view was quite foggy.
                                        George Washington Highway had limited visabilty.

                                    Entering Rangeley by Route 4 we had a much better view!

The trip was a bit different than usual.  Fenway was happy and calm.  The girls were excited and antsy and only "earned" two chores each for their loud voices and antagonistic behavior towards each other.  (My porch, stairs and basement stairs were swept upon arrival!)

After their chores and worksheets (I am relearning about predicates and possessive nouns!), we tackled dinner.

                                                        Brianna made the salad.  
                                    (Cucumbers were a bit tiny but since home grown - yummy!)

                                             Emily made the pizza (with close supervision!).



                                                A great supper with burgeoning chefs!

Then an after dinner walk/jog to help continue expelling some of their unending energy.
                                             Me, Paul, Brianna and Emily on Dallas Hill Road

Word of the day - expeditious.  Meaning someone acting or something done in a quick and efficient manner.  Our trip to RI was definitely expeditious - a 23 hour turnaround time!

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...

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.
