Not Likely Lyme

Five days later and the stomach woes continue. Not like the first day, but not the best of times either. There’s an occasional headache and lots of exhaustion, but not the fever of the first day.

New Bike

Finally stepped Abigail up to a pedal bike, though honestly it feels a little more like a step back. She’s a lot more confident and faster on her balance bike, though there’s a lot more going on here. A year ago we borrowed a friend’s 12″ peddle bike, but found the peddling part too difficult […]

Late Summer Maine Vacations

I love the late summer Maine vacations. By the time we’re leaving, we’re experiencing weather up there we won’t get for another month down here. It’s like a fall preview without having to rake leaves or heat the house for another 6 weeks. – b

Good on Lobster

Of the 14 nights we were there, I think we had lobster on 10 of them. Pretty sure I’m good with lobster for a while. At least till next year. – b
