Talking with my hands..

Thats right..still no voice, whats up with that? I have had laryngitis for over a week, so I got an appt. today with the doctor on call, not mine but he'll do I guess. I have no other symptoms so its a little weird and I know how annoying it is to listen to someones voice that is so strained. But I can type..so here is what's been going on:

Friday Don was supposed to go camping with Don B. to the great wilds of Third Machias lake..I am not sure there is even a road there, he circled it on the map but who knows how you get there. They were so excited, unfortunately Friday Nancy's dad had another weird incident. He is in Parker Ridge Retirement Comm." supposedly" assisted living part with a Dx. of Louie Bodies Dementia, which causes hallucinations and paranoia at times. The "assisted" in assisted living means that they call them at work and ask them to come and take care of the dad. Its ridiculous. In any case they have to move him again, its a real mess. So Ty and I were going to go to Portland on Saturday afternoon and meet Care at the airport on Sunday. Well that all changed with Don staying home, so we all went down.

Saturday evening we went to Jen and Pauls and had a BBQ with the kids and Kathi and Steve. Its was alot warmer down there. Emily and Nolan were even in the pool. Fighting of course. Nolan turns 5 this week, he is still the size of a three year old but boy is he a tough one. He made uncle Don pitch him a hundred balls as he batted them off into the yard. It was a great evening..At 7:45 I dialed Carolines cell and she called right back. She was in DC, had her bags and was trying to find transportation back to town. She sounded great and we would see her on Sunday..YEAH!

Sunday I went to the Christmas Tree shop, we are furnishing the apartment for summer rentals and they have great prices on dishes etc. So I got some really cute stuff, then we took Ty down to the Old Port Festival while we waited for Carolines plane to come in. She got in around 2:30 looking a little tired but had had a great time. When we got home, after she had slept in the car she hooked her camera up to the computer and showed us fantastic pictures of Croatia, Slovenia and Venice. The colors were just incredible, the buildings the flowers everything. They sang in alot of churches which she took alot of pictures of ..they were exquisite. And of course there were the night life pictures..they did alot of partaking of the "nightlife"!! She even got handed a card from some guy in Italy from a modeling agency..if she wanted to model. In Italy. Right.

She brought back Tyler an Italian soccer shirt..he was thrilled, Don some Croatian beer, and me a Venetian glass necklace. She bought herself an Italian leather purse which is just gorgeous!!. She said there were leather stores everywhere..and she could really shop around.
It is so well made and classic, it had a scarf tied around it and they threw that in for her when she said she would buy it. In any case it was a great purchase and something she will have for a long time. She also had some scarfs, and clothing items and souvenirs. Now its back to work for her so she can refill her bank account for next year.

So its Monday and cold and rainy..I want summer!! Enough is enough. Its even cold today..48.
Really. Thought this was the remnants of a "Tropical"storm..aren't Tropical storms warm??
Oh well back to work. Think sun everyone and warm weather..
