View of the Harbor from my father-in-law's house in Maine this past week. The main reason for the family getting together there for the holidays was to clean the house out, figure out who gets what, and to get the house ready to be "shown", so it was a great deal of work, and an end-of-an-era.

Love all those water fowl! And Annie, my cats are quite drawn to the wood stove too. My daughter Gillian with Whippoorwill Aurora at a Morgan horse show in 1994.

Cruising the Greek Isles, Captain told us we were going to experience a volcanic burp :o) Fishing village at the base.

LOL, thanks, Nicole. Yes, she is an amazing artist. You should see her stuff now! She did a painting of an eagle that you would swear you could reach out and touch it live!! Her attention to details is wonderful. She did my painting from a photo that I emailed to her. And that was her first attempt at oil painting. Prior she had done almost exclusive drawing, sometimes using colored pencils. She is an engineer by trade. Moni, I love your picture. Can you imagine the talent it takes to do something like that? Fantastic!! Thanks for sharing that one.
