Hi all.
Just a brief note to start off the morning.
Sitting in the coffee shop, a wounded warrior comes in with both legs missing below the knee who rode a modified cycle similar tho the one pictured yesterday. He had finished the race well ahead of the drastic event that took place.
Then two women came in a bit after, one blind, accompanied by her guide dog and the other woman with her helping the blind woman around. Both of them ran in the race yesterday but were stopped a quarter mile from the finish line. Both did not finish. Congratulations to these unknown people for working so hard to race in the marathon despite their disabilities. The Boston Marathon is such a wonderful event for the city of Boston.
Have a good day everyone...see some of you soon.
We saw all of the grandchildren at the Maine State Museum this afternoon and it was so wonderful to have them glad to see us....and no we didn't have pockets full of candy or money to spend in the museum store...just great hugs for us. So wonderful.
Since the fridge was empty we had our evening meal in Augusta. No cajun, no spicy creole...just Maine seafood. To tell you the truth, it is still the best. If you go down south, Tom might add that the spices they add are the best...but haven't lived there for a long time, what would he know.
We checked the mail, made a to do list, stacked up all the magazines that we care to read, are thinking of breaking open the piggy bank because the oil tank reads empty, and can now just rest and relax.
Will start looking at the rest of the pictures and post a few more....maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day.
Thanks everyone who wondered.... while we were in Boston.
Alice and Tom
