We decided to use Ogunquit

as our base while on our visit to Maine

since it is also known as a gay mecca,
we stayed in a lovely B & B, Two Village Square

"How much is that lobster in the cage?
I want that one in the middle."

Is the Atlantic Ocean colder than the Pacific Ocean? ...

iPostcards from Pittsfield, VT

No, we did not go to Vermont to get married
and/or celebrate Bill's birthday.
Although those would have been wonderful reasons,
we went here to attend a family wedding.
Kaya, Bill's nephew, and Kelley met
around the same time Bill and I met ...
and now, they are finally getting married.
Awww... when will it be our turn?
Please click HERE for pics of the rehearsal dinner
and HERE for the beautiful garden wedding ceremony and reception.
This was a very happy occasion.

facing the river

"Don't slip and get wet before the ceremony!"
