Cape Neddick ("Nubble") Light York, Maine

Pretty impressive lighthouse!


Lobster Feast at Eric and Danielle's place


Eric and Danielle treated us, with cousin Brian and his wife, to a lobster feast in their backyard. Great fun, so New England!

First stop -- Todd's boat to get the lobsters.


Danielle and Carol set the table while Eric cooked the lobster.


Menu? Lobster, roasted potatoes, caesar salad, corn on the cob, blueberry cake...followed by a visit to the Dover Dipper and some Java Crunch ice cream -- shared, I promise!!!

E. Wayne's office

Got to see where Eric Wayne puts his feet under a desk. Enjoyed getting a feel for how he spends his days.


Dover NH and Vollnogles

Got treated royally by all the Vollnogles. Friday noon, were treated to Bob's Clams -- yummy!



Visited a NH beach -- not quite as sandy as Holland...

More PA

Hey, other than a quicky with George, we were the first ones to get a BBC tour from Josh Michael! Not only was it fun to see him, but it was fun to see his library!!!

Grammy Camp was terrific

Well, at least for Grammy, Grammy Camp was a success. Here's just one pic from the week with Natalie and Katie getting a pedicure, on Tuesday afternoon. Natalie was an old pro, having been treated to a pedicure from Gma VM once :) This was a first for Katie, though. Between choosing colors (Teal and Pompeii Purple???) and finding out all the options on the massage chairs, the time just flew.

Living large

Love this relaxed pace. Here's lunch in the alley behind Lancaster's Central Farmers' Market.


Really, really enjoyed seeing the ag in the Lancaster area -- a reminder of the way of life we loved, with single family farms dotting the countryside. Just think, when we started 37 years ago Hoppen, Vanger Jagt, VerHage, Aukeman, Krueze, Meyer, and Troost -- all before you got to 32nd Avenue!


And, of course Dad geeked about driving through the New Holland 'parking lot'. It was amazing -- all that stuff and no guards, no gates, no one asking who we were and what we were doing -- and it was evening. Think that would work in Mexico, Eric?
