How do people find the time?

I promise I'm not purposely avoiding my little blog, I just can't seem to find the time to sit down long enough to type more than a few quick words. And with that....

Just kidding! Although in truth I really don't have much more time than this. I just got home from work (Yes, it's almost midnight. And yes, I did get to work at 7am this morning) and am having a quick snack to silence my grumbling tummy before heading off to catch a few zzz's. Tomorrow I have almost the entire day off from the paper, but I have about a weeks worth of things to do at the gallery, so I'll be waking up at 7 and heading into there for the day.

Between the two jobs, the start of the tourist season (Yikes! I always forget how much busier and more hectic everything gets.), my online classes, job searching, volunteering for the Y, and on top of that trying to start planning wedding stuff and all of the trips and visits that need to happen this summer....I'm exhausted just thinking about it all!

I think I could use some serious beauty sleep! It's off to dreamland for me!

Brunch with a view

As usual, I'm late getting these up, but Happy late Easter! Special thanks to Joe's Grandma for sending us to the Inn for brunch. It was delicious as always and you can't beat the view!

Hup!

The past two weekends have apparently been a struggle for mother nature. It was around 19 degrees two weeks ago and within seven days it had risen to about 65. Unfortunately for Joe and Pete, the first canoe race of the season was two weeks ago. Being the troupers they are, they went ahead and took part in the race in spite of the weather, paddling their butts off to stay warm. In the end, they both claimed to not be cold while I, on the other hand, was frozen, shivering on the bridges, watching them paddle by. And to add insult to injury, I got a serious sunburn that I was not expecting.










The next weekend brought another sunburn, but I suppose I deserved that one since it was bright and sunny. I actually joined in on the race that day and paddled down the river with Pete while Joe and Brian followed behind. It was surprisingly easy -- no one fell in and my arms weren't even tired after paddling for an hour! It was definitely a fun time made even better by a picnic on the water afterward.

First Day of Spring

The first day of spring on Mount Desert Island was beautiful! The sun was shining and mother nature decided to bless us with close to 70 degree temperatures. Needless to say, a trip to the beach was more than necessary! Thank goodness we have friends with cute babies and dogs we can play with on these beautiful days!
