Getting Over the Sad

We had a great five days with Carter and Claire, but sadly they had to go back to Boston today. They stayed for a Yummy breakfast prepared by Russ. He went all out with your choice of an egg, sausage and cheese English or blueberry pancakes. No one complained, especially because we got to play Apples to Apples which waiting for and after breakfast. It was an incredibly close game.

Then it was time for them to pack up the car. We practically filled it, between their clothes, the presents Suzanne sent for Carter and the painting I bought at auction the car was full. I was so sorry to see them go. It was such a great little vacation with them as they are so sweet together and we adore Claire.

To make the day not so sad, Russ and I decided to go on a Sunset Schooner cruise in Rockport. It was a gorgeous day, perfect to sail. I made Russ bring a warmer shirt, which he was glad he did because after sailing up to Camden and back, when the sun went down behind the hill it was very cold out on the water. This is why being in Maine in September is the best. Not saying anything about the heat back home.

Most everyplace is closed since it is Labor Day as well as being Monday so we had a quick dinner at Ada’s in Rockland and came home to a quiet house. Shay was not happy to have been all alone. I understand sweet girl. I’m sad too.
