Sisters

 A short morning helping Megan until swim lessons for Brianna.  Then a day of cleaning, packing for Maine (departure tomorrow afternoon) and dog sitting Maddie (so many zoomies - so glad for the fence!).

Brianna and Charlotte

Sisters.  Such a short word for such a big relationship.  Bri insisted on "learning" how to change a poopy diaper (I think she was procrastinating her "homework").  

"Sisters are friends we have for a lifetime." (Catherine Pulsifer, author of Change Your Life.)

                                            Karen and myself     Christmas in the early 1970s
                                            (check out Mother Goose in the background!)

                                                 Myself and Liisa      (Dad in the background)
                                                            (mid 1970s)

                                       Liisa, Karen and myself with Mummu in the foreground 
                                                            (late 1970s)

                                            Myself, Karen and Liisa  (early 1980s)

                                                  Myself, Gil (Great Aunt) and Liisa        
                                                            (early 1980s)

                                                                    Karen and Myself (mid 1980s)
                                                                Newport Creamery, Providence

                                        Yvonne, Viola, Leah and Albina (Grandma Scott)

Word of the day - kvell.  Meaning to be extraordinarily proud, rejoice.

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...

Welcome Home Charlotte

 Welcome home Charlotte!                                               Charlotte dressed for the season! My plan today - spend a couple hours finishing laundry, horse care and dishes at Megan and TJ's.  First task - check in with Mark, the farrier.  Though neither horse has shoes, their hooves still grow and require trimming every 7-8 weeks.  Both horses are easy and Mark was done quick.  Thank you Rebecca for completing morning care and field mucking.   I moved to the house where I found the dishes done  (Thank you again Rebecca!).  Okay, I'll make a quick batch of pineapple salsa and toss in a quick load of laundry.  That's when my day turned in to something I never would have imagined.  There was no water!  I ran out to the barn to check the water hadn't been running continuously and the...
