leaving maine

went up to maine this weekend, family stuff. maine is a hard place to visit this time of year. actually went down to pine point and walked on the beach. why you ask? because it was there. i love walking on the beach and just because it was24 degees with a howling wind wasn't going to stop me. i mean i felt no inclination to jump in nor did my sister nance. we were just killing a little time before a late lunch and figured it wouldn't kill us. well i am writing this so we were right, to a point. beside a healthy dose of fresh air and a stinging across my forehead we found several sand dollars and a new found respect for the gulls who hang out here all year long. i do recommend the beach to people who like to get out and reflect but they might be wise to wait for some warmer temps. as for me, i'm going back up in a few weeks. just because i can. and for family......jc says goodnight and godspeed
