Miss Me?

We had such a tremendously busy week, but when here, I have been working on notifications. Still not finished, but I didn’t want you to think I left myLot. Our younger son and his girlfriend left for Acadia National Park in Maine yesterday with friends. Drove through tropical storm Elsa all the way up to get there. Looks like a beautiful day today for hiking and boating. Just received the photo. Tonight we are going out to dinner for the first time since March 15, 2020 with another couple - our best friends. Rooftop dining on a beautiful evening. Hubs bought new slacks and a new shirt for the occasion. I have plenty of things I haven’t worn. Old now, but new enough. It’s good to be back, as usual. NEWS FLASH! Just found out our older son and his wife are up in Maine on vacation not far from our younger son! Imagine that? Not planned either.

The kids are staying right next to each other! What a coincidence! My granddaughter is at camp up there, but no visitation allowed this year. Yes, Maine is awesome!

@DocAndersen Exactly! Girlfriend texted me that they just spoke to each other. One group is camping and son and wife are on a lobster eating expedition and staying in hotels.

@DianneN Yes. I understand. It is really hard to be apart long time with your kids. I know the feeling of being apart with my mother too

Getting together was like we haven’t been apart for almost 1 1/2 years! Can you believe it? Thanks. The kids are out and about a lot, but take precautions. Can’t be too careful these days.
