Another Rainy Day in Maine
It's raining again, and I'm pretty sick of it. Only one of my windshield wipers works - fortunately it's the one on the driver side - and we haven't had a chance to get the broken one fixed. I think I've needed them every day since it broke.
I really enjoyed my day off on Friday. I spent much of it with Toby. We went to Bangor and checked out the new L.L. Bean outlet and went to lunch. Then we went grocery shopping. It's always a good day when Mom buys food for the boy. I often have nostalgic moments when I miss my little boy, but I do enjoy spending time with the adult he has become. We still have many similar interests, and don't have much trouble finding things to talk about. When I don't spend too much time nagging him, we have a pretty good time. Of course, he does sometimes need a good nagging!
I noticed that this blog is now too big for one page so if you want to see the earlier posts you have to click on the individual posts or on an earlier month - well October in this case. The first post "Welcome Family" does have quite a few comments including a recent one from Peter's son Michael. And I'm glad to see that Karen has joined us.
This morning when I was combing my hair, I noticed it is starting to look like Aunt Phoebe's - not quite so coarse, but with the gray and the way it was laying it made me think of her and that made me think of being in the kitchen at Grams while Aunt Mill was there pin curling Aunt Phoebe's hair, and that made me think of giving Aunt Mill permanents. I only did it a few times, but it was fun. Wouldn't she holler when I put the cold lotion on. I guess it's not just music that brings back family memories.
Gotta go
More later
