We have been having a busy summer! A fun summer!! :D
Joe and I had a chance to go to Maine with the neighbors for a night. We had sooo much fun. What a great night. The next day we went clamming for the first and probably last time. Clamming is hard work for the little that you get. I will never eat a clam and not think about how hard someone worked to dig it out of the smelly yucky mud in the hot salty sun. But the house was so neat and the area was beautiful!! We just felt so lucky to have been invited!! Here are some more pictures from our brief yet wonderful trip!
Then this past week we hosted Joe's best friend and his family. Joan, Steve, Julie, Damien, Raphie and Ben came up from North Carolina to visit for a week. They were the best guests anyone could ask for!!! It was a vacation for me to have them here for sure!! Steve loves to grill so he did the cooking of the dinner unless we ate out. The kids were so good they picked up after themselves treated each other Edith and Eleanor so nicely!! I wanted them to move in. :D They've only been gone for two days but I miss them terribly! The kids are home schooled and have been learning all about the Revolution and when learning about the revolition is there a better place to be then Boston, Lexington or Concord??? Well maybe Philadelphia but they swung by there on the way home. :D Anyway we got to visit all of the key revolution sites while they were here plus the USS Constitution and Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower II and Plymouth Plantation. It was great having everyone here and that Joe was able to take time off.
It's been a busy couple of fun weeks! I love summer vacation. :D
