Aunt Cathy's cabin at the lake where Tessa and Abe and thier families were staying.
Day 7
I apologize for the last jumbled mess, but hopefully it makes more sense now. It was all Ronda's fault for not letting me concentrate!!
I started out this day going over to meet my family in Maine for breakfast. It will be the last day I get to see them until the next trip. I had an awesome raspberry pancake. It was delicious. It was hard when it came time to say goodbye. My sister told me she wanted to be like me, but she is so much sweeter and I think I would rather be like her. She is lovely in looks and even more importantly, in spirit. I know "me" too well to think she should be like me. I am a work in progress with a long way to go!
The rest of the day was spent with Ken's parents at the "farm". We just lazed around in the sun, then went out for supper and a mocha double double ice cream cone. I am definitely not losing weight this week!!
I arrived at my sisters house around 8:30 this evening and she was not at home. The next hour or so I will keep a secret. It is funny but too embarrasing to share!
I'll keep you posted................
Day 2
I spent this day just getting settled and shopping for a few neccesary items. Iish everyone could smell the smells and see the sights tht I am experiencing. It is very woodsy and the temperature is hot.The days start out very foggy but clear up very quickly. I will post pictures as soon as I can but I wish I could posts the sounds and the smells to go along with them.
Today I went into Maine to see my dad and sister and brother. I took my good friend Ronda with me. It was alot of fun!!
Day 3
What a fabulous day spent in my home town today. The Canada Day celebrations are a traditions for peaple to come home to. The road home was very nostalgic. I cried while driving it, because of all the memories it brought of travelling that raod. In the early days of choldhood just getting away to visit relatives or shopping, then on to the momories of this road taking me to Ken or bringing him to me, Then home on vacations to visit Mom and then finally to see mom as she was dying and to bury her. My first stop this time was to visit her grave. I left a note telling here how much I love her and miss her. Many memories, some good, sopme bad, but all a part of my existence!
The rest of the day was very beautiful. The weather was perfect and it was so nice to visit with family and old friends. Pictures to follow.
So many people thought I was looking just like mom and a few people actually cried ehn they saw me becaause it so much like seeing mom! My sister jokingly ask me if I was feeling like a ghost!!
Day 4
I spent the day in Maine at the cabin on the lake where my sister and brother are staying. It was a fabulous day. The grounds are filled with flower beds, ponds, the big farmhouse and the weather was again lovely. I just aobut ended up in the lake. I was siting on a lawn chair out on the dock looking out over the lake when i felt the chair give out. My sister said she didn't think it was broken, but a few seconds later the chair collapsed amd I came close to going backwards into the lake however i just fell onto the dock. It was a humbling experience but very very funny and i am chuckling inside right now just thinking about it again.
I thought I might share with you some of the street names I have observed while driving around down here, plant names like cherry, rose, oak , etc. some others were a little more nautical like seaboard and lighthouse, some others wre very "original" like "Gravel RD." and last but not least Family lane and Holmes rd. which were the roads leading to Ken's parentt's house. There were some other really neat ones, but I can't recall them right now. I ended the day be going to church.
Day 5
This day will have to speak thru the pictures. We went to this quaint town call Bar Harbour. It was right on the ocean and it was kind of like Banff only much bigger and the water was it's facal point rather than the mountians. It did have a really neat mountian though. We ended the day playing mini golf in the rain around 10 oclock at night. It was the nicest golf course I have ever played at. As I said, the pictues will have to tell the tale on this one. I am getting tired o ftyping and I am trying to visit with a friend while updating this blog and I am felling kind of rude!
Day 6
Fourth of July. My family and I picniced at an ocean inlet today. We were just about the only ones there, the weather was perfect and I got to see lots of family I haven't seen since my wedding! I am now at my friends house and the rest of the evening will probally be spent visitng. Tommorrow it's off the Fredericton to visit my sister , Fonda
LOVE YOU ALL BACK HOME!!!!
Well here I am on the east coast on holidays. I wanted to blog each day, but I have had a hard time getting online! I don't have the USB cable for the camera, so I can't put any pictures on yet but I will try to tell about the trip so far!!
Day 1
The first interesting thing that made me crack up was a guy on the plane sitting behind me began snoring!! Really loud!! It was all I could do to not laugh rioght out loud. You would have to know the situation to know why I found this so funny! I arrived in St. John NB, but unfortunately my luggage didn't make it! It didn't show up until 2 days later. Air Canada gave me a voucher for $50! How very nice of them and that came only after I told them I couldn't wait any longer!! The other noteworthy facts were that it was raining when I got here and I got stopped for speeding on the highway! 50k over the limit. It was a reminder that I am on the east coast amd life slows down here. It was time to put on the brakes. By this time I was ready to come home and called Ken half crying. I must mention that I could not sleetp for 3 nights before leaving. I could not turn the brain off, so I was exhausted and frustrated!! I was telling Ken what a terrible day it was and he so kindly told me that it sounded like a really good day seeing that the cop was very nice and only gave me a warning. It really was a good day and it's amazing how a good nights sleep can change ones perspective! It only gets better from here! Much better!!!
