trip recap

have returned to maryland and temps that are a bit warmer....yes, we DID have SNOW on wednesday but only a couple of inches...so here's the final report--if you're interested, that is....

waiting at airports got this much done on this christmas stitchery....there's more to the top border and a single row of the zigzag along the bottom and then can finish into a festive wall decoration...love those reindeer!

while at mum's, stocked her freezer with some future meals....not fried clams but rhode island clam cakes, more like puffs as you can see, but they do taste exactly like fried clams. 
 

in addition to home cooking, we dined out a few times and were treated to a delish breakfast by my bro and SIL at a B&B near their home....plus lots of seafood and yes LOBSTER got consumed.  i do miss it a lot here in crab territory...

we took advantage of a couple of balmy days and visited our favorite beaches....here's a link to a video of reid state park and the effects of hurricane nicole.   we visited on a whim but the parking lot was nearly full of other beach lovers and we were rewarded with this show of nature.  in all my beach days, i've never seen the waves curl like this!  enjoy!

no new sewing....

am away in maine visiting my family for a brief week before snow flies...enjoying lobster of course and other seafood delights....we trekked (well, drove actually) to boothbay harbor, a favorite seaside locale and found it quite deserted, not a tourist in sight!  just the locals getting ready for the holidays....

this colorful buoy tree adorns the waterfront....i love it!  then ventured to a local eatery for a delish seafood (natch) lunch overlooking the harbor....heartily recommend it if you find yourself in the neighborhood...

the tugboat inn has been a fixture for many years....then another trip to yet another seaside favorite and watch the awesome waves because of hurricane nicole's visit....i'll post it when i can.   *** before  traveling back to MD, we'll all gather for an early Thanksgiving meal and more of that precious family time...
