Coffee Break # 83

Praying for the surgeon's hands and a great recovery and rehab.

Starting to get organized for our trip back home. Will leave tomorrow and hopefully find a camp site in NE Washington or into the panhandle of Idaho. On Wed we will stay overnight with a former DG member. Some of you may remember soferdg. He is a vet and lives in Kallispell, MT. He does most of his vet practice in Alaska traveling back and forth. Looking forward to meeting hima nd his wife and enjoying his amazing view. Then we'll take Rt 2 heading toward Michigan to visit our dear friend for a few days. Hoping the weather cooperates so we can camp. Looking to be home sometime late next week.

Sorry Victor, not sypathetic here but loosing a foot would throw me off a cliff.

Stay strong for MIL and your Wife.

hoping for the best victor!

That sounds like a great time Jan, enjoy!!

Jan, have a safe & happy trip home....sounds like a nice time......

Saying prayers for you all, Victor. Very tough, but she is lucky to have such a great family to support her. The Serenity Prayer comes to mind.

Safe and fun trip, Jan! Sounds terrific!

Bill, those are awesome stone cairns. They look Oriental. What a nice vacation!

Best of luck for her Victor. We older ones are attached to our parts.

Sorry to hear this Victor, prayers for healing and acceptance being sent along with lots of love and a HUGE HUG!!!!

in my prayers Victor... wish all the best for her

Thanks to all of you! I really appreciate it.

May God guide the surgeon's hands and bring your mil peace comfort and strength for her recovery

safe trip Jan, are you taking tons of pics???

Thanks all. Will try to take pics. I should have been carrying it around town. The plantings are wonderful!!!

so no one wanted to venture a guess about this light house. i guess no one saw one of the greatest movies of all time, Forest Gump. This is the light house in Port Clyde that was used - my wife was very excited, she loves that movie.

we went there twice - the area had some great brown mica schist stone that i needed to take some pictures of and maybe try to find a nice sample :)

Bet you got your sample. I'm too old for forest gump so just looked like a lighthouse to me.

yes yes now that you say it.. I remember it... "so I turned around and went the other way"

BILL !!! I am jumping out of my chair. I have spent many times in Rockland,cousin lives there.Did you get to the Farnsworth Gallery,Did you see the Andrew Wyeth collection?
He lives in the area.This is a pix of him at the general store dock in Port Clyde
I was at the next table over.Helga showed up afterawhile,she is the subject of many of his paintings and the principal player in the scandal years ago.
Maine vacations are always great.I'm glad you had such a good time and didnt loose a step in your "Kairnes Over the World" project.

Awesome pictures, thought i'd share the link so you can browse ith your cup of coffee. ^_^

did not see the collections joann - will have to check them out next year

I've been to the Farnsworth several times....have never been to Port Clyde, however, & would love to go.....Pixie, those photos are so weird!

I believe the Wyeth collection is in its own Gallery in town,Rockland that is. Port Clyde can be sen in 20 mins.The General Store has a nice deli and a back deck where you can picnic in the docks.
When Andrew was caught in a affair with Helga ,his wife divorced him and he had to buy her -her own island.She is happy there. I went on a boat ride to see some Puffins and they pointed out her island. Only friends and her children are welcome. Sounds ideal to me.

LOL...yeah, there are days! If only I could get over being seasick.....

Mariyn.There are tons of artists along the coast of Maine and many open home galleries in the PortClyde area.

I know....I have to get up there.....right now I'm thinking middle of Sept.

Surgery went well today. Thanks, all!

Yay! healing thoughts going her way.

So relieved to hear that, Victor. Hope you can get some rest tonight. Prayers will continue for healing and good spirits.

Thanks. My 10 yr old wanted to know if we would have a funeral for the foot!!

Your son is very thoughtful - tat is a good thing in my book. Glad the surgery went well.

good news - hope she does well as she recovers

Good to hear Victor, prayers continue for all. Hoping for a great recovery.

praying for a great recovery Victor!!

Yeah, what do they do with it???


YAY my nephew is home!!!
