Friday, September 8

Oh, what a beautiful morning to leave for a road trip.

Eight hours later we were crossing the bridge into Maine.

Before long we were seeing familiar views that we have learned to love as we travel to Mark and Diane’s place.

Then, best of all, we got to see our oldest daughter. We had to wait a bit longer to hug Mark as he was still on the road – trucking.

I LOVE what they have done with their back yard.

Some of the boxes cover tree stumps – from trees that had to be cut down.

Diane said that marigolds are supposed to reject bugs on the vegetables.

It was fun to walk around their yard on a beautiful evening and capture a few photos.

Mark was going to get home late, so we decided to go to Franks, a new restaurant in their area.

It was a good choice. I’d go back there in a minute to get another dish of their Vegetable Primavera.
