Maine

Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain....literally awesome

Somesville, Maine

Boat show, Southwest Harbor


On a pier in "sweet light", Northeast Harbor


We (Chip, George, Annie and myself) traveled to Maine for a long weekend to visit Chip's father and his wife (Tim and Jane). They live on Mt. Desert Island...as in Bar Harbor. Lucky! It's absolutely stunning. We swam and boated and kayaked and paddled and even watched the sunrise. Thank you Tim and Jane for a spectacular weekend.

My Birthday!






I had a wonderful birthday....thanks to thoughtful friends and family. Gifts from my darling husband in the morning (including my trip to Utah in June..thanks baby!), lunch and a museum visit with Bet in the afternoon and then a picnic dinner on the beach. Thank you EVERYONE.

"Touchdown Jesus" Notre Dame

I enjoyed the 4th of July with Michelle and Chris in Michigan! I arrived on the 3rd and attended a shower for Michelle, given by her friends...and does she have a bunch of them! Then we traveled to a town called St. Joseph, right on Lake Michigan where we stayed with some friends of Shell's and watched the fireworks right on the lake! Once in a lifetime experience! Visited Notre Dame on the way home and later Shell and I made a new quilt for baby Zach! Thanks Chris and Shell for sharing your holiday with me!

The Keys..better late than never!

Chip and I sporting the finest in K-mart fashion...after not getting our bags!






Boys and their toys.
Cap'n Tim

Just noticed that I missed some events! In May Tim and Jane treated us to a week in the Keys to celebrate monumental birthdays for Tim and Wick. So, Chip and I and Wick and Barb headed south for some sunshine. We gave the birthday boys remote control sailboats....which they seemed to competitively enjoy!

Happy New House Farley's!






Natalie and James just purchased their first home in Salt Lake. They are so excited! It's darling and I had the opportunity to fly to Utah and help them settle in. The most amusing part was the challenge of the stairs. There were (operative word being "were") some shelves above the stairs to the basement that hindered moving anything of size down the stairs. So, one by one, they were destroyed. But, alas, the queen box springs would still not fit. So James, being the innovator, figured out a way to "fold" the box springs. Voila! A bed for guests! Congratulations Nat and James!

Chip Jammin' in Park City



I just ran across this photo of Chip trying out Julia's pink guitar. He's singing "You are my sunshine". Kinda blurry.....but you get the general idea! :)
