I'm Back!

And I have finally sort of caught up (oy! email out the wazoo)...

The Adventure Along the Rocky Coast of Maine was incredible. Pre-sunrise dash to the eastern tip of the USA to see the sun crest over the horizon. Sonogram-the-humpback-whale. No moose. Deer, grouse, wee snake, tiny school of tiny fish. Watching the tide come in and go out again. Rocky beaches. Hiking up mountains and not falling off. Wild blueberries. Salt water as far as the eye can see and beyond. Mussels and barnacles, and seaweed, oh my! Driving, driving, driving. Evening rituals like talking round the fireplace. Cooking, picnics, and lobster. Puffins! Port-a-pusses! Shifty-eyed Sea Gulls! Birds of prey of indeterminite species! Almost killing Ang daily. Being out of signal range and offline for seven days and *not* *missing* the tech a bit. Daily postcards!

Yeah. Too much, and not enough. Next year can't come soon enough - and this time our intrepid seventh will be with us (we missed you, sweetie, so much). Good times.

So anything I missed that I absolutely *must* know? Catch me up!!!
