Upside Down World

video-snapshot-of-dad-2.jpg

After poker last night I engaged Goose, Robby and Matthew in a four way video chat. This photo, taken by Matt, was much funnier in real time. No, I didn’t rotate the picture (in answer to adam) , it’s just us playing with software options. The black and white images come from a setting called threshold.

Bailey Island

Bailey Island is a two and half hour drive from our house. We’d been here years ago when invited by Adam and Tricia, and, quite naturally, jumped at this most recent offer.

With every ocean visit we wonder why we didn’t invest in property twenty-five years ago. Shacks with a view sell for nearly a half million. The simple answer is we can’t afford it now and we couldn’t then.

Diane water walks without her sister, Susan, who would have had a hard time immersed in such chilly water for forty minutes.

Grok Hill as seen by Patrick & Georgia

Michael,

Patrick told us that he and Georgia drove down through NH on their way back from Canada, and stopped in at Grok Hill. They drove up past the Littells,who didn’t appear to be home, and parked at the bottom of Beech Lane. The pictures show the rifugio and the campfire spot that generations of Millers et al have used for boiling/burning/smoking dinners, breakfasts and midnight snacks. They also show the sturdy atrium constructed by el Kib & the blogmeister. The inside shots show no mice, but I didn’t tell Patrick to get a shot of the inside of the stove, where they’ll lurk until some gutsy person throws them out (hopefully in the spring, when the rigors of winter have passed, and they can go find another home).

Quebec

Hi Mike,
Patrick & Georgia just returned from a trip to Quebec, and provide this JAlbum album. It was their first visit to Canada together, and they spent time in Montreal & Quebec City, which they preferred by far. In fact this album has no pictures of Montreal! How come?There are also some pictures of Gilsum, but I haven’t looked at them yet.–rakkity
