The last post was a year ago.  Last Sunday, I was fortunate to photograph the Bold Coast Bash again this year.  That event is growing and getting better each year.  Cutler, Maine is so beautiful and somehow "different" than here just an hour away.  

We made five trips to Auburn, Alabama this year - trips #19 through #23 and we will make one more before the year is out.  We also made a trip to Arlington in March to attend a funeral.  We saw the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and we found Margaret's parents and grandparents graves.  Arlington in the Spring is really spectacular.  Auburn is growing and changing.  It is slowly loosing the little town feel with all of the new high-rise construction.  We had drinks on the two rooftop lounges and found our pictures in some old Glomeratas at the Whittle Hotel which used to be a dorm.  Margaret lived there briefly as a freshman.  I went to my fraternity's annual reunion last month which was combined with parent's weekend.  The weather in Auburn was perfect and I rode my motorcycle almost every day.

We have two new grandchildren on the way.  One will be born in Texas which means a Spring trip to Texas.  I am looking forward to that.  Even though we had everyone here in Maine for a June family reunion, I still have the urge to visit our firstborn and his family in California.  Maybe we can squeeze in a trip this year.  2024 is looking to be a busy year for us!
