Ocean Park, Maine ...Mostly pictures...


 Rick and his Dad, Grampy Brown....
 And right away, we have to go look at the water! It is still there! Rick helped build this boardwalk many years ago. Rick grew up coming to the beach and even lived here on his own, before he met me!
 The water is very cold! Much colder than NC!

 But still we go in!



 Taking the walk to the famous "Soda Fountain" and the "Variety Store" with Grampy Brown and Grammy Joyce!

 Breakfast at the Soda Fountain!


 And going to the Variety Store with Gammy Joyce and Grampy was lots and lots of fun!
 Addison- smiling big! Like a kid in a candy store!!!

 The Jetti...Jeddi...I don't know... the huge rocks!!







 And Uncle Mike, Aunt Amy, Lila and Emily stopped by for a visit! So, we went to the Soda Fountain!
 This is the first time Atley met a lot of family on this trip. Here she is with Lila! She didn't want them to leave!

 Family Picture and we got all of us in!!
 Now that I take the photos and update the blog, I don't include to many shots of me...Here I am!

 Atley is boogie boarding! She is so cool!!


 Popop joked about vacation being a different experience for a parent sometimes! Different as opposed to the carefree childhood time...Yes, it can be exhausting...but worth every bit!

End of the day... just before bed...

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...
