71







Really? A sunny day on the foggy coast of Maine on June 9? All the planets aligned for David's birthday this year and the weather, too. Eliza was at her 5th college reunion at Bates College in Lewiston (where has the time gone!) and Joellen rented again in Small Point. So we all converged to celebrate 71 years. Glorious weather, fruit with a candle and a man with his dog and family. What could be better?
 Carrie was in Israel and Tim in Mexico and Katie in Connecticut but we soldiered on without them.

Maine was at its best for this native.
Yes, David was born in Maine in 1943 while his father was designing ships for the war effort at the Portland Navy Yard.

So great to have a new post from you!
Maine...equals summer vacation, relatives, LL Bean, Roz, and fog and lobster and happy times. Thanks, Barb for reminding me!

Wonderful mood and who to enjoy it best!
So, does that mean I'm in heaven if I'm in Washington, DC since I was born there…and Ru too?…hmm, probably not the same. Would that we could all enjoy Maine on those days.
