Traveling

-
We are back from Eastern Europe and already made a short trip to Maine to visit family there.
We stayed in Portland where we had a choice of fabulous restaurants including a Thai place that serves delicious mock meat dished.
We took a boat ride with Jules' daughter Kira, her husband Ken and their son- little Leo, to Jewell Island where we picnicked on the beach, took a hike and had a great time.

In a week time we fly to New Zealand. I am looking forward to being there again.
I have some paintings to pack and ship to clients when we'll arrive there and hopefully some free time to paint again.

News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
