Tuesday, October 11, 2022 Apparently, we don’t have eyes. Our roof has hail damage, so we are looking at getting a new roof. Keith got samples of the roofing material, so we can pick out the color we want. We looked at the samples and said, “Obviously not black, because our house is brown.” We […]

Monday, October 10, 2022 It was a glorious, warm sunny day, so Keith and I jumped in the car to go look at pretty leaves. We went east. Meh. We went south. Green (duh). We went north. Yay! We decided to go to the Patriot’s Tavern (Patriot was on my US history vocabulary list today

Sunday, October 9, 2022 Sometimes you give your friend candy that her son is allergic to, and you have to make wrapping paper appropriate to the occasion.

Saturday, October 8, 2022 I was sitting at the breakfast buffet this morning, looking at the New York City skyline, trying to wrap my head around the fact that it was actually there. We have so many ways to view things that we might never see in real life, that somehow sometimes real life doesn’t

Wednesday, October 5, 2022 (Happy Birthday, Maren!) We are in Canada! Keith was startled to find out that Tom and Louise have not been to Canada, because when they told him previously that they had not been to Canada, he thought that meant this Canada, not all Canada. That is still making me laugh. We

Tuesday, October 4, 2022 Today we had a beautiful, sunny, warm day in Bar Harbor, Maine. We wandered the picturesque downtown shops and looked at souvenirs and art and ice cream. There was rumor of lobster flavored ice cream, but we did not search for it. It seemed better left a myth. Louise fulfilled her

Monday, October 3, 2022 We made it to Boston! Huzzah! Tom and Louise have been to Boston and suggested we go to the Tea Party Museum. It sounded like fun education, so we were in. I looked around at things to do in Boston and the hop on / hop off bus tour sounded good.

Sunday, October 2, 20022 We are on the Enchanted Princess Fall Colors New England and Canada cruise. I took this cruise with my mom and sister about 6 years ago and on the second night the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew hit us. We were at dinner and they suspended service and asked us to go
