We are facing a long weekend. I wonder who coined that phrase – ‘long
weekend’ – it is still two days and the government tacked on a public holiday
to boot. Some weekends are long even
when they are only two days because we tend to pack so much stuff into each day
we need to go to work on Monday to recuperate.
While Bill was at the YMCA this afternoon, I went for a walk
along the rail trail and looked across the river to the Idyllic Scene of the Arsenal and the auxiliary houses that are on
that property. I have admired this scene
ever since we got here and today I got to see them up close and personal. Sr. Kada took us there at lunch time. I think I like the looks of the buildings
from across the river because up close and personal they are falling into
disrepair. It seems that some developer
came by with big plans that never got off the ground. These buildings are on the national register
of historic buildings but the present owner has let them fall into disrepair
and vandals have since taken over. Truly
sad to see.
The River was coming in at the time we were there and the reflections
were wonderful.
We were supposed to be having a picnic for lunch but the
hour went too fast with sight seeing but I did learn one important thing – it is
in Augusta that the river coming down from Moosehead lake and the river coming
up from the ocean with the tide meets in here.
There is also a large rock where Benedict Arnold stood and
spoke to his troops who went with him to Canada for the war there (I think that
is what I was told). This was before he became
a trator.
Today was the second day for Jacob’s test with mayo Clinic
and we hope that he did well. We are
also hoping for some good news for Jacob.
I did call Sara but at the time I called her she had not heard from him
other than a short note saying “I love you”.
The children seem to be doing better today than they were doing
yesterday.
It must be time for us to go home because my lipstick is
almost all used up and my supply of Olive Oil soap has almost gone. I am in need of prescription refills and the
herbs and spices I brought with me are all now out of date. When I get back home I just want to sleep
until I wake up – no more 6 o’clock Charlie every morning……..but I am sure that
the quail will take over with the morning noise.
