Ephemeral

 National Tooth Fairy Day.  Here are my favorite jack-o-lantern smiles!

                                                                    Megan

                                                                Kevin

                                                                Scott

                                                                    Maddy

                                                                Brianna

A fall like day meant sweatshirts and nice working conditions.  

Above the garage door Paul installed a wooden block that will hold the door springs.


The temporary metal pieces that were holding the door in place were removed to install the lower track.


   The side tracks were installed #1.
   The upper track #2 is being held in place temporarily by rope strung from the ceiling #3.

A piece of lumber is holding the tracks the correct distance from each other so Paul can install the bracing.  The track is 10 feet from the floor and 7 feet from the ceiling - lots of up and down the ladders!

Word of the day - ephemeral.  Meaning lasting only a short time.  This summer was definitely ephemeral!

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.
