My entire extended family has been in Maine over the last week or two (examples: Isaac, Ebs, Ipswichers, old people). They’re starting to trickle back into town now but honestly I’ve been a little jealous of their time away. I can’t be too jealous though as I’m heading up there myself to go camping in a few weeks, something I’ve rather been looking forward to.
I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m signed up for a service called the Photojojo Time Capsule that every now and again sends me one year old photos from my flickr stream. Normally, I absolutely love getting these but lately they’ve been more and more difficult to handle. I’m getting closer to the first anniversary of one of the more sucktastic periods of my life, the sequential failure of my relationship & the death of my critter. But that downer aside, when this photo showed up in my inbox yesterday it really, really made me happy. Our last great adventure, a hike up Mount Pemetic in Acadia, with the nieces-pieces in tow-slash-leading the way.
I didn’t actually carry her up the whole way, she was an excellent hiker, through to the end.

She was a great hiker and that was a great adventure. Love this memory.
