Brian showing perfect form

I adore my friend Karen for she is up for anything.  We decided on a beach trip.  Freedom from family responsibilities was on tap.  Now you must understand middle aged women with kids sure know how to make the most of precious free time for it doesn’t come along easily or often.  As much as I adore lying on the beach reading a magazine and swimming doing that for two days could get boring so I signed us up for Paddle surfing lessons.  Now if Matthew Mconaughy can do it we sure thought we could do it but of course we were not going bare chested like dear Matthew for that surely would of caused some heart attacks in the retired old men on the pier!! uggh.  Yes, I think unfortunately at our age those are the only men looking.  Ha ha.  In any case the wind was actually blowing harder than our instructor Brian was counting on but I think he could only have been impressed with our ability to pick it up.  There was only one tense moment where Karen got taken by the wind and was going into a boat but Brian came to her rescue.  For me I loved the quietness of it and enjoyed working out different muscles which I am sure will be sore in the morning.  Yes, I look like a total dork in these photos sorry kids!!

I love this house

June was a very busy month.  I had several portrait sessions and two weddings.  Therefore, its been awhile since I could update the blog.  We are now vacationing with my parents up in Maine.  We went out to Great Cranberry Island yesterday and had a nice walk and a light lunch at Hitty’s cafe which is new to the island.  It is part museum part cafe and part watercolor teaching space.  We then took a walk through the woods and ended up at Mosquito Cove which did not lack mosquitoes that is for sure but was very beautiful.  I love the houses on this island.
