weekend update

big bird and i arrived in maine a few days ago....chilly of course but packed plenty of warm things....spending time with my family and scarfing down yummy maine seafood...before i left, dropped off a charity top and some charity squares to our guild drop box....


then it was off to the airport arriving in time for supper  (i don't miss many meals...LOL)

this started the week off!  


a bit of the white stuff dusting building and car tops and temps in 30s...not a surprise as it often happens when winter has its last gasp....no deterrent to family fun whatsoever....


bad weather has kept lobstermen in dry dock a lot but still plenty to be had....deelish of course!

then a day trip to the source--ocean--for some wave watching and more seafood....


the always scrumptious fried clams....my yearly treat!  some retail therapy heralded the weekend...



these came from busy thimble, repro shop of my friend cyndi....was in need of restocking shirtings and had a couple of other projects in mind for the other selections....

there is more seafood ahead and a brunch with family before big bird and i cross the mason-dixon line once more....and a week that is flying by all too quickly....

  5. I KNEW something had to be wrong- either you were traveling or not quite up to par. Apparently both!! Grace, you’re in my prayers for speedy healing. May your Maine memories serve to cheer you in your recuperation. 🙏🏻
