My Last Vacation Day in Maine

When I saw the landscape early yesterday morning, I knew I needed to put on my boots and coat in search of winter scenery before the sun melted the snow and ice.

Just before noon I went four-wheeling with our grandson Josiah – to feed horses at a nearby farm.

This horse watched longingly through a barn window as Josiah fed another horse.

Afterward we took a back road to the inlet.  It was fabulous!

At 4:00 PM it was time to pack my suitcase and head for the airport. 

I was again blessed to have an oceanside window seat on my flight from Portland to Washington DC. 

Terminal G in Dulles is a crazy place to be at 8:30 at night!  At least I arrived early enough to find a seat.  Half an hour later, there was standing room only – and barely room for that.  I was glad to be back on a plane by 9:30 and on my way to Harrisburg.  It was SO GOOD to see Cerwin!  We were home by 11:30 – very, very late for this morning person.

My time with the Myers was a break that my body, spirit, and soul needed.  Now it’s back to reality – unpack my suitcase, do laundry, get mail ready for the post office, and prepare for a TFC Northeast Council meeting at our place on Sunday afternoon.
