June 25, 2011

Wow, how time flies when you are having fun!! We have seen several light houses and historic forts. So hard to realize some of these buildings have been here for 400 years. A quick trip to Boston on the Amtrak was fun. We toured "Old Ironsides", did a harbor tour and a trolley tour. Definitely a do again adventure as there is way too much to see in one day.

We asked for a cooler summer BUT maybe not this cool!!! We have had several beautiful days lately but yesterday and today stink!! COLD (at least to us - low 60's) and rainy. Doesn't seem to affect the campers. Several hardy Canadians out in tents and pop-ups. Warmer and SUNSHINE predicted for tomorrow!!!

So nice that we have a heated pool as the ocean temp is 58 degrees...way too cold for me!! Both Mike and I have been putting the exercise room to good use....think it will do any good? Hope so!!

My mom is slowly getting better. She has CHF and has been in and out of the hospital several times since going home after rehab. The fall, broken hip and hip replacement surgery went well but the complications afterwards are the issue. She has just started being able to stay alone. Up until this past Wednesday, she has had someone with her 24/7 except for one night. Hopefully, she is past the crisis point. I am flying home for her 95th birthday. Something both of us are looking forward to.

AHHHHH...a day off!!!! We walked down to the beach and stopped for a bowl of clam chowder before returning home. It was a really nice day to be outside. It is a little cool or rather COLD by TX standards. Running the fireplace every night! Tomorrow we are going to go up to Brunswick.

Last day off we went to York to see the Nubble Lighthouse. It is the most photographed lighthouse. Very pretty!!! Last week I worked 6 days....not scheduled for that many hours but felt I needed the training before being left on my own this week. So far things have been slow but they will pick up. The kids don't get out of school until the 24th. The end of July and the first of August will be extremely busy.....Canada has a construction shutdown. Not sure exactly what that means but we have almost all 250 sites reserved!!!! Oh well, another day...another dollar!!

That's basically all we have done since we've been here. We got here late on the 18th, Mom broke her hip on the 2oth and had total hip replacement on the 21st, I flew home on the 24th and returned on thee 28th. On the good news side....Mom is home! She was in the hospital for six days and the rehab facility for 9 days. AMAZING for anyone but even more so for someone 94 years old.
