Angels

August 18, 2013:
Angel Falls, Maine

                                                            Megan, Kevin and Scott

Today's goal - install the post for the carport loft and seal the roof junction. 
 

                                 The first boardhung was unpainted (oops) then the post was notched 
                                    to fit snugly underneath.


                           Using first a beam then a shovel for leverage, the post was wedged into place.

                            The post was bolted into place against the girt on the interior of the garage.

                                                    Foam, caulk and then roof cement sealed the junction and should (fingers crossed) prevent rain/snow from falling through.

Never Give Up Day.  We are still plugging away to complete this garage after more than a year, a few injuries and a few unexpected costs.  Giving up - not an option.

National Couple's Day.  (Is there any irony that it also occurs on Never Give Up Day?)
                                                                    1985

                                                                            2026

Word of the day - abnegate.  Meaning to relinquish , give up.

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.
