The weather was perfect for the wedding, a little cool but at least it was sunny all day. It was a long Catholic ceremony but I got to sit in the last row where they have padded seats. mwahaha.

The reception was good, they had it catered by Hart's Turkey Farm. You can't go wrong with a turkey dinner. (except when you have to cut the stuffing with a knife!) The seating was arranged, which was a big bummer. Gary and I and the girls were over by ourselves with another couple that we didn't know very well. When Nicole gets married, everyone sits where they want! Also we were right next to the DJ, and the music was so loud all night, that you had to scream in someones ear for them to hear you, or you could do like I did half the time and just nod and smile and act like you heard them. :) Gary unfortunately waited too long to eat and had low blood sugar. He made it worse by downing the box of candy that was on the table when we got there. Bad move, instant headache and generally not feeling good that no eating could fix. We stayed about 4 hours and came home and Gary crashed for 13 hours!

I wasn't thrilled with the pictures my camera was taking in the low light, and I couldn't seem to find the right setting. Oh well. The ones of me were clear so that's all that matters right? just kidding.

Yesterday we went out shopping for things for our new camper. Gary wanted a Rubbermaid storage unit for outside, and he perused on-line until he found the cheapest one on sale in Pittsfield. So we drove there first and got that. Then we went to Camping World for a roof vent cover. Then we went to the Weathervane to eat. I had clam strip dinner, Gary had the combo fried dinner, and Brooke had baked stuffed shrimp. We went on to Target after that , I needed a new trash can, silverware holder, step ladder and we had to get Louie some birthday presents. :) After that we just came home and watched a bunch of shows that I had recorded, read the Sunday paper, and ate popcorn. And we saw 3 does in the backyard, they were too far away for a good picture though.

New Camper Arrival

Our new camper arrived in Maine yesterday. It was a beautiful day up there, warm and about 72. It took them about 3 1/2 hours to get it set up. Gary and I snuck some stuff in so that on opening weekend we have a little less to do. The owner is very strict about not doing anything in your camper until the campground is open. period. I can't wait until May 2 when we can go stay for the whole weekend.

Change of Heart

This book was enthralling. It takes place in NH, and if anything will make you question the justice system and the death penalty, and even your own faith, this book will do it.

Would you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish?

I cried like a baby at the end.

This picture was taken last Thursday. I got a surprise call from our friend Marylou who used to be at the same camp in the summer. She was in MA for a few days and wanted to meet for lunch. It was so good to see her, and even Gary took an hour off of work to come to lunch with us. I wish she still came to Maine in the summer.

Today it is 81 degrees out! It's funny how quickly we forget the snow and cold after a few days of this. I will enjoy it while it lasts, because it is going to start cooling down again. Tomorrow our new camper gets delivered!! Gary is taking the day off and we are driving to Maine so he can "oversee" the setup of it. :) I am putting my camera in my purse right now so I don't forget it.

New Moon

This is the second book in the Stephenie Meyer series that I bought for Brooke. She raced through these first two and is on the third. I can't believe how fast I read this, and it is 563 pages long. So if you like Stephen King stuff, and can read something far-fetched then this is really good. This time it had werewolves as well as vampires in it. And the heroine, Bella Swan is right in the middle of it all as usual. The noble Vampire, Edward, is conspicuously absent at the start of the book, and you start to wonder if that is it for him....

To The Nines

This is the ninth book in the Stephanie Plum bounty hunter series. Much like the other ones, a mystery, some love story and some outright hilarious moments. I only have four more to go in this series, maybe by the time I get to 13 she will have another one out.

Still pushing this flu away, inch by inch. What a stubborn bugger! Yesterday we dropped my car off to have the fender fixed. Then we went to Maine for the day. I didn't take one picture, I don't know why. I am going to blame the remnants of the flu fogging my brain. We took a nice walk around the campground, really you are only supposed to stop in the off season and check on your camper, we had no excuse since our camper won't even be there until next week. :) Peter saw us but pretended not to, that's pretty much how he is all summer too. I went and got my hair highlighted while Gary watched a movie in the car. Then we picked my brand-new-again car up and came home. I was told to stay away from the mailbox today :)
So Amber won on Rock of Love 2, I was totally shocked. I figured he would pick the young stupid one. And Ali won on Biggest Loser. And Bernie won the $100,000 prize! That shocked me, I did not expect him to win it. I was bummed that Mark won nothing after being such a fierce competitor through the whole game. I have not watched American Idol from last night, so I don't know who got sent home yet. It better not have been David Cook.
Today is supposed to be warm. They keep saying that, yet even though the temperature goes up, I can still feel that cold little nip in the air. I want to feel a warm breeze for a change!
