It seems as though I planned this trip ages ago, yet it popped up suddenly like I wasn’t half expecting it.  With our travels to Maine and a week with Kadyn, I didn’t spend much time packing or doing any last minute preparation.  Needless to say I only packed one long sleeve shirt and SanContinue reading “The Journey Begins – First Stop California”

It was a wonderful weekend at Camp McWade with all the kids and grandkids. Alyse arrived Thursday night with Landon and Wyatt and a few hours later Bethany and Jay arrived with Molly and Ashlynn. Friday was a hot day and we all enjoyed time swimming in Sheepscot Pond. The kids made cocoa out ofContinue reading “The Dunbar Family Reunion and Heading Home”

When I looked up theContinue reading “Finding Our Way To Camden, Maine”

You may be thinking lobster – she’s in Maine, they are everywhere!  And you are right.  However, this lobster aficionado is a purist when it comes to lobster.  No lobster rolls mixing the delightful morsefuls of meat with slabs of greasy mayo that deflects the flavor of the crustaceans.  I eat mine whole and aliveContinue reading “On a Journey to Find My First Lobster”

   

It seems as though the older I get the quicker time goes by.  I remember my mother saying that; now I know what that’s like.  Especially when I am enjoying myself.  The month has gone by so quickly and we did very little in traveling out of Antigua. One morning Hernan, our favorite cab driver,Continue reading “Winding Down in our Beloved Antigua”
