Made it to Maine. Just in time to rush about madly, preparing for Mum's wedding. A lovely ceremony and a great gathering of people!...
The vows were wicked short... brilliant! and the crowd went wild, hooray! The cheesecake Jonathan made to die for. And dancing, and giggling over Dark and Stormies (rum and ginger beer).
All my siblings made it out here! Tiffany, Crosby and little brother Bryce (he was so easy to make fun
of, came with his new girlfriend and they were really inseparable in that so mushy first love attached at the hip way... didn't really get to talk to him)
Crosby came across country on his motor cycle and then decided to ship it back!... he has no fat on his ass... his girlfriend couldn't make it out... (those two statement have nothing to do with each other.)
Tiffany came with her boyfriend Scott, which meant games of Scrabble late into the night... And with all of us there, lots of good conversations late into the night...
My friend Maria who came travelled with me in Cuba, came over from New Hampshire where she now is staying... Great to see her after 2 year without visiting... "I brought a bottle of Gatorade and Tylenol. I'm ready!" Which she so graciously shared the next morning when my brother rolled over and groaned, "So that's why they call them Dark and STORMies."
Me, Maria and Cros all went down to Camden to go sailing with my ex-boyfriend Perry and his now girlfriend Bethany on the Appledore... Great to see old friends, and be able to get out sailing....
A fantastic sunset sail despite the bizarre man with his bugle! trumpeting at passing boats and sunset and whatever else would set him off... and the weird woman hitting on my brother ... "My husbands out of town"(nudge nudge) he ignored her... "Oh you so look like a Kennedy."
And another occasion, we went down with Mum, her now husband Ed, and Tiffany and Heather's relations to go sailing again. There was no one else signed up for a trip, but luckily the Commodore was feeling generous and with Franklin as our witness we were off across the Bay.
Such fun to visit with everyone, and then like being at summer camp everyone leaves. Sigh. Worked for a few shifts at the coffee shop Jonathan and Heather have in town. Ate way too much pastry and watched the days go by.
It is beautiful here in Fall ... Too bad it will soon be so cold.... The leaves are starting to turn that gorgeous red!...
