Greetings from hot hot hot Lexington, Mass, and can't wait to get back to Maine today! Visited with my wacky sister and family and saw my mom, safely back from Wales and more interested in checking her email than anything I had to say!

Leslie made a lovely dinner of smoked salmon, corn on the cob and salad and we caught a cool-ish breeze on their back deck. A short visit but sweet. Mom and I are headed north this morning.

My friend, Sue, sent this to me last night:

There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it.

You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good.

So, love the people who treat you right.  Think good thoughts for the ones who don't.

Life is too short to be anything but happy.   Falling down is part of LIFE... Getting back up is LIVING.

I am so blessed with my wonderful friends.
