We sure enjoyed having Grammy as an extended house guest. She stayed with us just over a month and offered me such wonderful help with the kids. We hope she enjoyed herself and the peek into our simple life. We will miss you... (jeeper's crow, not for nothing, wicked cool) all Grammy phrases Nic has picked up.

A few nights before she left we spent a gorgeous evening at the park, enjoying the weather and fall colors.

Yesterday she has packed up her car and started on a long road trip back east. She plans to stop in Florida and the Carolinas before finally landing home in Maine. She'll likely be back home in early November. Safe travels!
