Day 216/365: Trip To Connecticut

1 Aug

My apologies for being away so long. In the past three weeks I have sent my youngest son off to Marine boot camp, and took a trip to Connecticut to empty and clean my Mothers house so it could be sold. A side trip to recover from such an endeavor was to Block Island, RI.

So be prepared for several postings per day until I catch up.

I had ten days to completely empty and catalog the belongings of my Mothers house, she passed in January, and it would not have been possible without a small army of wonderful friends who gave their time and friendship during my stay. Looking back on the pictures it was a huge undertaking, but we had a wonderful time, laughed and strengthened friendships that will last for a lifetime.

After the house was empty I rewarded myself with a four day trip to Block Island, Rhode Island for a “girls weekend”, a trip that was twenty years in the making. Here is a sneak preview.

    A girls’ weekend sounds wonderful, like something out of a book when it comes to my life. In other words, a work of fiction! I am so happy you were able to make a reality of it. I love the photo of the shore.

    So glad you got some time to regroup after what must have been a physically and emotionally exhausting 10 days. The beach is beautiful!
