ENJOYING TIME OFF


Yesterday we took a one-hour boat trip out to Monhegan Island where we spent the day walking the trails around this beautiful place.  The weather was hot but inside the woods that cover much of the island the cool sea breeze and the shade felt quite nice.

We've been having a nice time doing lots of walking, cooking, and reading.  I've already finished two good books and am onto my third.  Today we are visiting nearby Damariscotta where I am able to get an Internet connection at a local cafe.

Tomorrow is my birthday - my 60th - and we plan to attend a talk at the local library on the creation of Social Security by the first woman cabinet member Frances Perkins who was from Maine.  She was FDR's Secretary of Labor. 

We go home on Saturday and on Sunday will be my birthday party at our house at 1:00 pm.  It will be a potluck Italian Fiesta - all are invited.
