Comments (7)Oh no! Ruthieg_tx's car flipped over. :-) And before crawling out of the wreckage, she took a picture and posted it here for us. :-) This was the sunset in our backyard a few days ago. I was out working in the yard, and noticed the trees had strange pinkish hue. So I moved to where I could see the western sky, and ... wow....See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Mon Apr 11
Comments (9)The idiot who looks after the apt bldg across the street insists on using the snow blower when a quick shoveling will do. NO snow on the sidewalks, streets or parking lot, yet he's out at 6:30 this morning. There was some ice here and there, but he'd rather fire up the blower. I'm sure it's good for it!...See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Mon Apr 25
Comments (5)mimipadv, love that pic of the mighty squirrel hunter! My granddog would react the same. Outside she chases them up the nearest tree and will dance around that tree for as long as I let her. Here the resident chipmunk taunts her....See MoreI'll Show You Mine if You Show Me Yours Mon Apr 03
Comments (12)Yesterday morning I heard a noise from outside like someone periodically spraying something with a hose. When I finally looked out the bedroom window, I saw a hot air balloon -- right there. By the time I found the camera it had descended behind the trees behind our barn. I walked over and by the time I got there they were already deflating it. Apparently they landed in my neighbor's back field, our neighbor and her sister came out to watch, and the balloon company offered to tether the balloon and take my neighbor and her sister go up a short way before bringing the ballon back down to deflate it. After it was put away, the balloon company offered the traditional bottle of champagne, and my neighbors invited everyone (the pilot, the chase guy, the balloon guests, and me) in to their newly refinished kitchen, for mimosas and fruit and toasted raisin bread. It was a great way to start off a Sunday morning....See More

I spent the last several days in Maine helping to pack up my father-in-law's house. He decided last summer that he probably wouldn't be able to stay there next summer, and to instead sell the house. Over Christmas much of the family gathered there to clean the house, divvy up much of the furnishings, and to stage the place for sale. Well, it did sell. Closing was this past Friday. My wife and I and one of her brothers and one of her sisters were there packing up all of the remaining stuff One 16' moving truck drove off bound for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We drove the other 16' truck to Connecticut, New Jersey, and finally back to Virginia.
We were so busy that I didn't get but a few pictures, but here are a few from past visits.
The House
The harbor and town:
The light house
We'll probably go back at some point to visit her cousins, but , of course, it won't be the same.

It is a lovely house, especially considering that this is the view from the kitchen window
It also has beautiful, well-tended gardens
including prolific raspberry bushes
Although the interior hasn't been updated for quite some time (this is pre-cleaning and staging)
and the layout (especially upstairs) is somewhat dysfunctional, with low, head-bonking ceilings, and a bath room that is also functions as the only hallway between one bedroom and the rest of the upstairs. Additionally we were concerned that the condition of the rubble foundation might frighten potential buyers, or cause them to demand extensive, expensive repairs even though the foundation has been unchanged for decades.So although we thought it was a good house in a great location, and will be somewhat sad that it is gone, we are happy and thrilled that it sold as quickly as it did, especially since the buyers seem to love the house.
