And On to the North!

We made it to the Farm! We were able to spend very special time with Grammy and Grampy Meehan. We started with a picnic on the boat. We saw the loons, and even two eagles! But best of all, we spent time with Grammy and Grampy Meehan! They have an incredibly beautiful spot and lovely home! And we loved it!! It was so QUIET! I didn't ever want to leave!
Grampy commandeered the boat but he let Addison take command for a little bit.

Adder did wonderful at the helm! I love to see his smile!

We also swam in the water. It was so cool and refreshing. We swam out in the middle of the lake and we swam at the dock...
That evening, we went to the coast, just down the road, and had fish and lobster.
And just up the road was a lovely ice cream store. With lots of candy and Maine souvenirs... Can you see Addison in the picture?
The rocks!! The awesomeness  and power of the water was overwhelming. I kept hearing the song lyrics, "Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of your name. I sing for joy at the work of Your Hands, forever I'll love you forever I'll stand, nothing compares to the promise I have in you!" I might have messed those up a bit but that was what I kept singing!




This lighthouse marks that shore...
And in the morning, we had blueberry pancakes!!! YUMMY!
Here is Addison up in the "back 40!". Grammy and Grampy have lots of land around them, and we took a beautiful walk.
Whoooooo Hooooooooooo!! "I'm diving in!"

It's already July 2017!

It is already July but I am putting in the last quarter again. Maybe this is turning into a quarterly update!  This quarter included our family trip to the Outer Banks. It was so great to see everyone. Then we drove to Atlanta. And life in-between.  Wet suits were not even a necessity on this trip! Sunny days and warmer water! I even went swimming a couple of days! This house had an amazing kitchen and we served up heapfuls of food! And our good friend Erin, came to visit us from Florida. She was here for other reasons but we still were able to get together for lunch! Former students getting married! Yup, I'm feeling a little old! The setting was so beautiful! And he drove the entire way home from Atlanta and most of the way there! Gotta get in the historical and nature places when we are somewhere. This place had both. Roswell is one fun town. Onto Myrtle Beach, SC where Beckie, our dear friend and best ever babysitter got married to Ia...

October 2015

October began with TKD testing. Atley tested for her senior blue belt and this was a tough one. I didn't know if she would be able to test but she practiced and practiced and she tested! The forms are very complicated and there is so much to remember. I am impressed with how hard she works and how well she does. A bit nervous walking into test.. Sparring well is also a big part of testing...  She passed!!!! We are studying Flying Creatures this year so I organized a trip for her class to a 700 acre environmental education preserve and they designed a class just for our group! Hands on and very educational. And Melissa and Karl came down for a visit for a few days! Melissa brought tons of her old costume jewlery to share with Atley. And Atley is making a doughnut costume for Halloween. We saw this on YouTube and I thought. "we can do this." Addison's 14!!! His birthday was so fun! Thank you everyone for the car...

We took a trek up to Maine to visit Grammie and Grampy Meehan and then we went to the cottage and saw Aunt Amy and Emily and Lila.   Eating on the pier overlooking a bay. Then eating lobsters...  Baltimore airport!  Onto the rental car...  I LOVE this farm!! Atley noticed 2 fish in this picture! Can you see them? Did I mention I LOVE this farm! I LOVE my baby too!! Near the old ice house... Captain Atley! Atley and I have big ideas for this barn but we will have to do this in the south... Nothing like Maine! Missing Alex! Ocean Park And the famous Soda Fountain. The apostle  Paul  said, “Finally, brothers and sisters,  whatever  is true,  whatever is noble ,  whatever is right ,  whatever  is pure,  whatever is lovely ,  whatever  is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — th...
