We left very early this morning for Maine! Our boys are up there, so we decided to make the long, long drive to meet up for a laugh. Well worth it. Spending the night at a hotel and leaving extremely early in the morning. I have a pickel ball game and a luncheon date with a friend. Can’t miss either. On our way for a Maine lobster dinner. Must run….. See you soon!

I've never been much for sports which is why I don't know about these kinda things.

Thanks so much!

I pickleball is similar to tennis, but on a smaller court and played with paddles and whiffle balls. So much fun!

@rebelann I’m new to it. Never heard about it until I was in Florida. Apparently, it’s a huge and popular sport.

oh no way would I have made that drive for such a short visit. I hate car rides.

We’d walk to Maine if we had to just to see the kids. I slept going up and coming home.

Maine lobster dinner and you did not invite me along. I love big lobsters.

Sorry. If I had more time, I’d invite you. I had a huge lobster! 5 lbs.

@DianneN You surely spent more time in the car than in Maine, it is a very long way.

@DocAndersen The last 38% or so. No worries. They’re kicking the bucket right and left from the delta variant.

Thanks for asking. It was brief, but we had a wonderful time being all together. I’d love to do a family vacation one of these days. Tonight, I’m simply exhausted! Too far to drive to and then home again.
