I'm Back!

[etakyma]

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!!!

Hah, I just wrote my own one of these. Man, I miss it already. WHEN ARE WE GOING BACK. The portapusses and deaver bams can't be expected to get along without me for too very long, right?

Hardcore. \m/

LOL! Hardcore!

Best ever, you Planning Goddess, you. The deaver bams and portapusses are clamoring for your return. I can hear them all the way down here.

HARDCORE!

Such good times! I bet even the moose miss us. 'Where are you' they wonder, 'we have no one to hide from.' And? I have three in mind to offer to the group for next year already.

Sounds awesome! Glad you made it back safe.

portapusses for everyone. :-)
I am telling you maine is mooseless. not a one. It's a marketing gimic. We need to go back and confirm this.

An extended study of the phenomenon is called for. Tru fax.

Hey, I'm all up for going again visiting to try to count moose. Really it should be federally funded at this point.

Welcome home BB! You was missed! MIA moose? Too funny!

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

We missed you so much!!! The daily texting and daily postcard sending was not enough, damnit!

And yeah, no moose in Maine. I feel cheated and slighted and all that jazz. Even the copious amounts of wildlife present don't make up for no moose.

And I am glad you are doing better! I've been catching up on LJ and that sounds scary - but your writing was still very coherent. Glad as I am the meds are working like they should, but damn, girl, if something can go wonky it will with you, it seems.

Ah but see, this bit of wonky was predetermined, so by default not really a "Stephi" wonky...lol.

There must be a place on the planet we can see Moose. (I have a moose tree skirt for my Xmas tree, but I don't think that is quite the same. *bg*)

Oh, meant to say: LOVE what you're doing with your hair!
