We're off to Boothbay Harbor and a night in the Admiral's Quarters Inn . Thank you Auntiesue.

Adam listened to many tales of Peter and Eileen’s year-round living in Ed’s cabin on Grok Hill, in Gilsum NH, before he made his first trip past the Preston’s, past the wide metal gate, past the tree-ringed field that served as the Rakitty’s wedding chapel, down the steep hill and up again, left onto Beech Lane, past the Littel’s and finally the long trek up to the hand-crafted cabin heated by wood stove and lit by candles. The first words from an uncharacteristically silent Adam as he poked his head into the cabin? “What a woman!.”

Just goes to show, one man's fixer upper is another couples paradise. My first thought: What a Man.

Third thought: What a couple, maintaining true to our sixties ideals, while the rest of us (ready: me) were selling out to capitalism.
