Life has been busy for my family and I the past few weeks and as a number of you have noticed my blog entries have been empty.

A few behind the scenes happenings:

• Since passing that dreadful NCLEX, and finding out I had officially became a Registered Nurse, I put most of my energy into organizing my entire house, and ’simplifying’ my life. My house looked like a tornado had gone thru it, and I lost count of the number of trips to the Salvation Army to donate bags and bags full of ‘excess stuff’.
• Our oil furnace decided it’s life expectancy was over so a new furnace took its place, which took an entire day to be installed.
• Doctors appointments, errands, and visiting with friends and family.
• And of course, a couple of lazy days.

We celebrated Thanksgiving quietly with no stress and complete laziness, and the next morning headed out to Wilmington, North Carolina to spend time with my daughter, Toni.

This water fountain is in the middle of the street in town and has a plaque that reads: Anti- Germ Individual Cup Fountain.

With another plaque that reads: The School Children of Wilmington, Through the Generosity of Miss Annie M. Dore, Arlington, Mass. Present This Fountain To The City. MCMXV. (1915)

Loving all of the palm trees!! and just absolutely loving this city!! Not to mention the 70 degree weather!

We’ve been exploring and having a wonderful time, and I’m just not looking forward to returning to Maine.

 And of course like everywhere, you run into a few shady characters!!

Well friends, that’s a quick peek into my world for the moment. I’ll be back tomorrow with more photos, and will try to get back on track with my daily blog postings.
