Loving Maine

Hello, again.
I apologize for my week long absence.
And I know you are going to find this hard to believe, but I've been on VACAY.
No lie.
I took my laptop, and I planned to blog while I was away, you know, at the end of the day, to keep you posted.
But you know what they say about plans, right?
So where did I go????
Ahhhh.......I went to Maine!

I lived in Maine, once, for a year, and had friends that I visited in Maine for several years, and I have always loved it.
My husband and I go to Wells Beach every year, but to be honest, I have been longing for the Maine that resonates with me, where life is a bit slower.
I have been wanting to rent a house, take my daughters, and their children, for a week's vacation. One of those "wants" that you talk about, and talk about, and somehow don't get around to.
Until now.
I have a boat load of pictures that I took, and believe me I will be sharing them, but tonight, my butt is fairly dragging.
Surprise, surprise, I am not as young as I sometimes think/hope that I am.
Just one thought before I say hello to my lovely bed.
As I looked through my pictures, I realized, that as usual, there are no pictures of moi. I am the one behind the camera, taking picture after picture of my kids, and my grandkids.
It doesn't hurt that they are so photogenic.

And I realized to me that someday someone will look at these albums, and wonder why I am not in them.
Then it occurred to me.
While my physical self is not present in these shots. I am there. In every one. Because when you look at these faces, look into these eyes, you will see me. My reflection. My whole life.
It's just that simple.

Later, friends.
