The Ocean Shores Home is complete and on the market!

This view is from the Grand Canal side of the property

The meandering sidewalk is a wonderful addition to the landscape.
  
The front fountain adds a soothing sound as you walk the path.

Leanne flew to Manchester, NH for Dawn's upcoming wedding and to visit with her high school friend,
Janine & husband, Wally. They live in Enfield, NH, have an auto parts store and gave Leanne
a cute little VW Bug to use while she was staying on the east coast.
 
Wally recently took over as promoter of the nearby Canaan Dirt Racetrack
and these past couple of months have kept him busy with that responsibility!
Below, Jessie (who is temporarily residing w/ them) and Wally's Mom, Rachel
volunteered their time to help out every Friday during the remaining racing season.
   
In the "Pit", there's a lot of excitement before the racing begins!

Janine signs in each & every driver and her son, Ryan, covers a multitude of jobs around the pit.
Just before the race begins, Wally gives an encouraging chat to the crews.

I drive to E. Brookfield to visit the Farnsworth Family.
Woody & Mary, the "Beehive", the deer and the view of Camel's Hump welcome me once again.
   
Saturday we drive to Burlington and have a deicious seafood dinner overlooking Lake Champlaine.

Then we stop in Shelburne to visit Greg, Ellen & Michael. Greg updated us on his impressive train rooms.
A tour bus will soon be arriving to look at his incredible collection!
  

I'm grateful to to have an opportunity to visit the cemetery where Mom, Dad & Glyneta are buried.
Then we drove to Randolph Center to pay respect to Aunt Elaine & Uncle Howard, too.
   
Sunday, we went to the Tunbridge Fair. It was fun to wander around, see the antique schoolhouse and the "Old Timer's" skills like weaving, cider pressing, pickling, making yarn, etc....
   
I stopped to visit with Jon & Alison. They invited me to a wonderful steak dinner and we had a great visit.
I left the beautiful pond water lilies and headed for Medway Monday morning.

I arrive in Medway to visit the Tyrrell Family. It's wonderful to catch up with family news!

I had a chance to meet Jay and to wish the couple many, many years of happiness together.

 
Sept. 19-20, 2007
Leanne spends time visiting with Dawn, Dotty, Debi & Elliot before the wedding crowds arrive.
Baking Dad's Chocolate Chip Cookies & Mom's English Toffee Bars together was a wonderful & warm experience. 
     
I was sitting on the front porch taking pictures when Kale looks up and asks "Why are you taking pictures of me??"
Dawn tells him he'd better get used to it! Aunt Leanne is always taking pictures!
     
Thursday evening Elliot, Debi & I drove their 5th wheel out to the Salisbury State Beach Campground
where Dawn & Kale were getting set up for their stay at the beach. They had some peace & quiet to finish up their planning for their personal & touching wedding ceremony in two days.
 

Sept. 21, 2007
Tara, Julia, Laurel, Olivia & Emily arrive and meet Mom at the Knotty Pine Motel.
We had some fun visiting before the wedding festivities began! How I love spending time with them....
    
  
We went into a resale shop and I can see that the little girls enjoy shopping as much as their Mom's!
Eventually, I realized the clerks were very nervous watching the little ones get into everything,
so I took them outside and we walked to the coffee shop for juice & iced coffee.

I fly back to Portland and next day we head to New Mexico!            Pretty drive.



Sept. 27-29, 2007
We stop in Albuquerque to visit Jeff who has just re-located there. It was his 30th birthday,
so we took him to the Texas Roadhouse for a delicious steak dinner
and he got to ride the saddle as the wait staff sang "Happy 30th Birthday to him.
We visit the next day and promise to return in a week for the Balloon Festival and another visit.
      
Next day at the campground I saw this wonderful rainbow.

We head a few hours south to Elephant Butte for a 400 Full-Timer's Club Pre-Rally.
Dan & I arrived late Sunday afternoon, just in time for the 4:00pm meeting.
