Again, Pause

The hosting duties are over, the house again silent, save for those of us who live here and love it, never mind the crushing mortgage and upkeep. After a week of hosting, the jolt of returning to life as usual is incredibly hard and welcome. It will take a while to process all the mental images, snapshots worth a lifetime that we compiled over the last seven days. A meander up seaside Rt. 1, Bar Harbor and Acadia, The Yorks, Portland Head Light again and as always, insane amounts of BBQ and fresh oysters, beer and wine and love.

In seven days, we do it all over again in Seattle.
