Another milestone: we hosted Jim and Mary Tolles as overnight guests yesterday and today! All vaccinated. It was great to see them and with the exception of a Scrabble game last evening, we spent the entire time talking - there was a lot to catch up on. We heard about their UU Church in Rockland which is interviewing a prospective new pastor on Zoom this week. We heard all about their life after Mary's retirement from her work at the Hope, ME Town Office (though her replacement didn't work out well and she's back part-time to help out!), all about her adopted son, DJ; all about Jim's work doing music for their church, etc. And of course we had some nice meals, thanks to Ellen, including yummy Shepherd's Pie last night. And wouldn't you know it - I never thought to take a picture! Too busy talking!
But Tuesday, we had lunch at the Grafton Market with Robin Davis and her 93-year-old dad, Paul Yaezel, who has now moved to Valley Cares in Townshend. It was outside and VERY blustery - the wind literally blew our sandwiches off the table! But we rescued them and had a good time getting acquainted. I got a photo of them, and of a sheep farm on the way back with lots of lambs. That was quite a sight!
