This is Adeline, or Addie, an 8-week-old

My oldest son, Henry A, brought his Boston Whaler and
pulled anyone who wanted to try it on water-skis. His
youngest daughter, Neddie got the hang of it immediately.
Mouse-over to see a close-up of her in action.

I was happy to discover I could still do it too!
It's been about 20 years since I last tried this.

She's certainly a unique and pretty boat, but the time may have

Madison Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire - October 25. 2014
On November 1st, we drove up to Maine to visit my daughter Charlotte and family
in Blue Hill. On Sunday morning, it began to snow. By Sunday evening, there was
over a foot of snow and the power was out. (Elect Co. says it could be several days!)

Arriving at Charlotte's Blue Hill house, Addie in the lead.
More than frost on these pumpkins. Time to head south!
Driving south on Route 1 near Bucksport, Maine.
After a 5-hour drive back to Portsmouth, the setting sun
came out giving our house a red glow. Quite a different
scene from snowy Maine!
