Company 2

Company 2 arrived and Ben Boone wasn't sure which way was which.  Front or back?  Only Ben knows for sure.

 It was another wonderful relaxing visit with family.  They swam, we played, we sat and talked and it was delightful to have them here.

 Kristine, Connor and Ben relaxing in the motel pool.

Brian and the boys having a great time in the pool.  With the temps in the mid to high 80's this was definitely the place to be.

 It wasn't cool in the evenings at all, long sleeves and pants were worn for bug protection.

Kristine having a drink-of water

 Ben at the motel beach with Belfast in the distance.

 The back of the motel with the boys passing each other like 2 ships.... in the daylight grass?

Another shot of downtown from the Belfast Harbor Inn.

There are no pictures of them in the car driving away because it would be too hard to post them.

We're so fortunate to have both families.  They are wonderful beyond words.

And now its time to return to reality, work, weaving and summer here in Maine.  The lilies are in bloom at the back of the house, the lettuce has gone by and we have eggplants and tomatoes coming.
Pictures of the gardens next time.

I read 2 stories for my modern Irish authors class (It's not your Grandfather's Ireland) at the Belfast Public Library.  One by Maeve Binchy (The Evening Class-the chapter Bill and a short story by Roddy Doyle (The Black Hoodie).  I really liked them both and am thinking of downloading and Binchy to the Kindle.  I just hope the other people there are as interesting as the stories.
John McPhee has been put aside for the time being.
