Northward bound


To Presque Isle. And this pretty much is what he view is going to be most of the way there. Snow covered fields, trees and utility poles. Its a flying trip to see the parents/grandparents but since time is at a premium and James is around we need to take advantage of these moments to see each other. But first a stop at the Thompsons in Kittery to see some of the cousins - Patrick in from London, Dave up from CT teaching, Ellie home from University and the youngest Kelley's too. Caroline, elegant and tall, Jack spunky and charming, and Baby Ian changing by the minute - smiling now and very patient with the adult game of pass the baby. Their parents are just tired. And the rest of us wander between nostalgia and gratitude that it's not ME changing dirty diapers and getting up at all hours.
