101st Post!

Yesterday marked the 100th post of "The Complete Works of Goldsmith!" Time certainly does fly when you're having fun! Here's to 5 or 6 more!!!

After Ortiz left this morning, Sally and I went to church. We started going to church again at the Prince of Peace Lutheran in Augusta--the same church in which we got married. We really enjoy the service, and the grandparents go there, so we know many of the people. A little bit longer of a commute, but we think the right place for us right now.

After a nap with Thomas, we decided to go for a lovely Autumn walk on the multi-use trails (snowmobile, ATV, etc) that pick up in Fairfield Center. I snowmobiled this past winter with my friend Dave, and the trails are spectacular--almost eerie. There is no way you would ever think that you are anywhere near civilization--its beautifully serene. The trail network is Maine is pretty impressive. Essentially, clubs, by town, maintain different sections of the trails. In some places, like Millinocket (Ortiz's favorite place), Fort Kent, and Caribou, the trails are wider than the interstate highway. Priorities. What is truly amazing is how you can get on a trail anywhere (like Fairfield) and basically go all the way into Canada. Well, we didnt get to Canada, but it was so tough for us to stop trying, as we were enjoying the day, the walk, and the time together so much that we didnt want to turn around. The trail went through beautiful groves, immense clearings, and random cornfields seemingly nowhere near anyplace like a farm, a house, or a building of any kind. Does corn just grow wild?

We arrived home to see Jon and Mel hanging out in our driveway, with Jon working on my truck. This past June, Jon used my truck to move something, and he had a little incident with it, so he had been meaning to find a time to fix it. He took out the dent, primed, and painted the damaged section. A pretty good job. I lit a small fire outside that no one gave a crap about, and then we had pizza AND pizza bites. Its cold now . . .while watching NCIS dvds, Sally and Mel curled up on the couch with blankets, even . They were SEPARATE blankets on separate couches, I should note. However, one can fantasize, right?

Joking.
