busy visit and travel with Van

8/17/07
I stopped in Winterport, Maine the town Ira & I spend most of our married life.
I visited Jeannie Wilson at " Winterport Pizza". We visited and while having lunch with her
four friends and a couple we knew came for lunch so I got an extra blessing of seeingmore than I thought I would.
I went up the road, visited with Margaret, she lives across the road from where we lived, we had tea and muffin and a nice chat.
Then on to Teresa, next door neighbor, she called Jan, the othe next door neighbor, we were chatting and drinking tea and molasses cookies, when Del stopped by to visit. Jan had called her.
I had other visiting so I had to move along. I stopped at Ruth in Hampden , we became friends with Ruth when we went to Marriage encounter. Ester another M. E. friend couldn't make it.
I visited with Ruth, Audrey and grand daughter Samamtha. I Had dinner with them and had to run. Couldn't even do dishes. Ha Ha.
I had to get to Becky's, my neice were I was spending the night. She had a meeting so I wanted to get there before she left. When she go thome from meeting we got inthe hot tub, relaxed and guess what? Talked & talked. I got a chance to visit a little with her daughter, Morgan and husband Emile but not long it was late. Off to bed.
Thurs. I got up, breakfast and a little talking with Becky, she had to get to work. I got on the road, Appointment with Scott & Lisa, left the apt. stopped at Greg & Jean Bacon to just say Hi and on to pick up Pat Booker. Pat envited me as her guest to ana Avon recognition luncheon.
This was a thrill for me because I could see a lot of the Gals I worked with. It was a busy afternoon.
I left Bangor at 4 I had another stop, brother Jim, so he could help me with the mapping GPS system. It was a two hours drive to get to him . We worked a little , but a friend and passed on and he was going to the visiting hours. I said I should go also. I will work more on the mapping and if I can't figure it out he will come Monday and we will go to Delorme Mapping and get their help.
I stopped at the funeral home for a quick visit and headed home.

Needless to say today I'm exhausted. Can't do what I use to do. I don't need to.

While away. Becky's brothers' wife's mother got in a car accident and was killed. Prayers for the family, then the friend who lost her husband , I went to the funeral home for.

Just want to say it's been a rough year, live , laugh and love you don't know how much time you have.

Daughter Cheryl and husband Boyd's, children Derek & Hillary are leaving this weekend for college, This means my girl will have an empty nest . Are they getting old? No . Because that will mean I'm getting old.

Love & hugs R
