Today is Thanksgiving 2016.
Present were Tom and Mary, Beth and husband Charlie, Archie and Stephanie, Sara and Jacob.
We had a wonderful meal of turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, honey carrots, and sweet potato biscuits, a signature contribution from Beth, pumpkin and pecan pies.
Stephanie is due with twins in late December.
After eating, we watched some football and then hiked in the woods. Beth showed us the boulders she has picked out for her grandchildren, so far. These rocks can be followed through the years to see growth around them and when they are older, they can add to the vegetation as they please.
When we started the hike it was snowing lightly, but stopped, so we came home to no snow.

Sunday, October 30
The shower went very well yesterday. The cake was a work of art, really too pretty to cut. There was a tent full of hot barbecue ribs, pulled pork, chicken and more. There were hundreds of gifts and all had a great time. I will choose a few photos.
Hazel has enjoyed her swing, playing in the rain and playing with Dad Ethan.

hazel and Ethan's visit to Maine
Friday, October 28. It has rained all day so Hazel can't go out and swing, but has had fun inside with "doggie", Mara. She is the cutest little thing. I'm reminded how cute Beth was at her age. My how time flies. It could make one sad, but enjoying her little smiles and chatter are enough to wipe away the tears.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day weather wise. I"m hoping to show her off at the trunk and treat party at church Monday night. Ethan is a super Dad. I'm sure Archie will be as well. T
omorrow is the big shower day for the twins. I must rest good tonight, so I can help tomorrow.

Today is Tuesday, October 25.
Yesterday Tom went for his annual eye exam and the Doc found he had two little tears in his retinas. So, h is restricted from riding anything that bumps, so the tractor is out. Boo Hoo for him, but we must get the eyes well.
This afternoon tiny snowflakes are falling. Nothing serious for sure, but signs of what will come is here.
I'm sad because my Swedish detective Wallandar has alheimers and this was the last episode of the season, so i suppose I'll have to find something else to get involved with.
Tomorrow is our community supper at church. So far we have not had any outsiders come, but maybe this will be the one. We had over two hours of prayer Sunday in a video called Cry Out. This is waving over the country now and is primeraly for women to get together and pray. This could be a mighty force for the country, if women really get going on prayer. Before the great depression many years ago, a man started prayer meeting in the city of NY and 6 people showed up. Now there are tens of thousands coming to these meetings.
We listened to a spiel on Medicare Advantage yesterday and though it looks very good, we need to investigate more before changing what we have.

October 21. 2016
We have been very busy since Peter arrived Tuesday afternoon.
Wednesday we had nice weather and we drove to Pemaquid Lighthouse. The ocean was as calm as we had ever seen, but it was nice and Peter enjoyed it. Wednesday night he and granddad went to the Beaver Pond while I went to church to practice. A beaver came to the dam, crawled over in front of Peter and Tom and swam downstream right beside them.
Thursday was nice and I walked Peter to the big tree and he took off with the map and hiked about 3 miles of trails. Thursday night Archie and Stephanie came over for dinner and afterwards, they unpacked all the gifts from Beth's "grandmother" shower from all her clerks of court. There were well over a hundred gifts.
Today, Friday we took Peter to the Maine maritime museum in Bath and then went to Baileys island for lunch at Cooks lobster house in sight of the only cribstone bridge in the world. This was exciting for Peter. Later we went to Beaver dam, but it was raining and the beavers must have been playing a game in their house. We didn't see them.
