Return to the Homeland
About a month ago my uncle died quite suddenly and as a result, I’ve been to Maine more times in the past few weeks than I have in probably two or three years. This weekend, however, we drove up so … Continue reading

Summer Vacation, Part 1
Bridge to Assateague Island We went to Assateague National Seashore in Maryland for several days of beach camping with E’s friends. Why two people who hate the sun and and live in fear of sunburns went on a beach vacation … Continue reading
