February 25, 2012
I had a busy week during this school vacation. Dottie Caldwell and I headed for Boston to visit our children Diadem and Jesse. They took us around the area showing us where different things were; we took a walk in the local park, went to the theater and saw Looney Toons, visited the TeaLuxe store to by some loose leaf tea. At night we played some board games, Settlers of Catan, Parcheesi, and played Squirrels, a card game of absolute nuts. What fun we had in such a short period of time. I just wished I had the chance to stay a little bit longer but alas had to return to the normal routine on the Ridge.
Carroll and I have had our grandson two days this week, one day Konner and I visited the goats and hens that live next door to us. Konner loves to be out doors when he can. Konner loves to explore the area.
The EDGE program had two days available for the students to do something over vacation. One day they went to Schoodic for a program that the rangers offered to them. Hiking and learning about tracks and what you can see in the woods during the winter. A fun day was had by all even in the rain.
On Friday we drove to Ellsworth for my eye appointment, all is well so far.
Get well to Jack Barquinha, Robert Look, Doris Joy, Will Whiles and Parris Hammond. There are a lot of illnesses in the area; I hope that everyone will soon be out and about again.
Condolences go out to B. Conley Worcester’s family of Southwest Harbor. Last year Conley was the oldest at the Worcester Reunion and we will surely miss him.
Carroll and I took a ride on Saturday and visited the new cattle on Cape Split and their owners Tim & Mary Thompson that happened to be at their barn tending to the cattle.
Two more weeks and our clocks will jump forward on March 11th . I will love to get that extra day light in the afternoon. Spring is coming soon.
