Thanks for the Christmas wishes. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. I am glad Adam will be there at least for a short time. Did you get a ton of snow during that last storm? We only got a few inches but I saw on the news that there was a lot more south of us. Now, you can have a white Christmas together.
Best wishes,
Lynn
Have you found some moms with sons who are also on Adam's boat? It is nice when they are gone especially to connect with other moms. I have been completely stressed about Christmas but now all my packages are mailed and I am just about ready. Peter won't be here for Christmas but my daughter, Allie, and her husband will be. Pete's girlfriend is flying to Seattle to spend Christmas with him so he won't be by himself. His crew has the boat now and they will be leaving again sometime in January.
Well, ski season has started and we have gone a couple of times so far. It isn't too cold yet so that is pretty nice. There were not a lot of trails open but we still have a good time. It takes a while to get your skiing legs back so you can ski all day without any pain. We have had quite a bit of snow already and it really looks like winter here now.
How is Andrew doing at his new job? Does he like it? This is such a terrible economy for all these kids getting out of college and looking for employment. I sure hope things start to improve soon. Well, I hope you are getting ready for Christmas without too much stress. We are supposed to enjoy the season and now just sweat until it is over with.
Take care,
Lynn

I think Adam should be done with his time off soon. Does that mean he will finally be on the boat? When is his first trip out to sea scheduled? I know he must be so anxious.
So, are you having a lot of people at your house for Thanksgiving? Does everyone get assigned something to make? I am getting so excited and now just a few more days to wait. My mother arrives Tuesday, Pete Wednesday and Allie and her husband on Thursday. She has a 10 year high school reunion on Friday so they are going to stay until Saturday morning. Pete and my mother are both going home on Monday morning. Now we have to get everything cleaned up around here before everyone arrives. We still haven't raked all our leaves but that is what we are going to work on until the gang arrives. Actually none of them will care but we like to get it done.
Pete is still sewing and has advanced to a tote bag and is trying to make some jeans. He finally broke down and bought a pattern but said reading the instructions was like trying to understand Chinese. I wish he was going to be home longer so I could give him some sewing lessons. This whole sewing thing really cracks me up.
Well, it is starting to warm up outside and the leaves are calling me. I just keep working on them and eventually I will get them done. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving together.
Take care,
Lynn
I am glad you had a good time when you visited New Hampshire and didn't see the snow. We hiked Mt. Ascutney also a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. We went up the long way and it turned out to be a pretty rugged hike. We have been doing a lot of hiking in the White Mountains lately and I really enjoy it. I like to get outside and work hard and get my heart beating. I am glad we can still do it until it gets too cold or there is snow or ice on the trails.
Adam is getting so close to his first trip on the boat. I am sure he will like it. Most of it is attitude anyway and since he has a good attitude, I am sure he will do well. It is nice he and his brother get the chance to get together occasionally.
For some reason Boyd and I think this girlfriend is different from any of the others ones Pete has had. For some reason, she is very "special". He bought a sewing machine on Craig's list and made her some flannel pants. I guess she really loves them. I sew all the time so he feels he can make anything without a pattern or lessons. Apparently he did fine on the pants, he said he made himself a pair also. I asked him what his next project is.
Well, I hope you are feeling well and getting ready for the winter.
Take care,
Lynn
So, did you come to New Hampshire last week-end and see our snow? Fortunately it didn't stick. We get in a big rush to get ready for winter when we get early snow like that. So, we washed and waxed our cars and cut and split wood and now it is nice again. It was so warm, we were under attack by the lady bugs. We have some painters here painting the outside of our barn so it is nice that they have the nice weather to finish to job.
It is hard to believe that in another week or so all of Adam's formal training will be done. Then when he gets on the boat he has to qualify and earn his dolphins. They flew Pete to meet his boat when he got on for the first time. Any chance they will do that for Adam? I am sure he is very anxious to actually get on the boat. Nice he got all moved in and pictures hung in his apartment. I guess they really do grow up and not need us so much.
Pete called and told me that he and his new girlfriend will both spend Thanksgiving with us. So, that means we all will be here. I am really looking forward to it. He seems pretty serious about this girl but they haven't known each other very long so who knows?
Happy belated birthday to you and Eddie. Hope you are doing well.
Take care,
Lynn
Did you get to see Adam's apartment? How is it? Does he have any roommates? I know what you mean about the curtains and the wrong colors. I am impressed that he even got them hung.
We are developing the code about when the boat is coming or going. Pete will call and say they are leaving a month after his sister's birthday or something like that. As far as I know he always seems to know ahead of time how many days they will be gone. He tells us that ahead of time and then we can usually figure out when they will be back. Of course, sometimes plans change and I check with his friends to see if anyone has heard from him. Things may be different on a boomer because they are gone longer and they go into port during the trip.
Pete called to tell me he is coming home for Thanksgiving and his new girlfriend who lives in New Hampshire will be able to join us. I am excited about that. Now we will all get to meet her. You think you are a picky eater, she is a raw vegan so I will have to do some thinking to at least fix a couple of things that she will like. Actually I love the challenge.
Well, I have spent the day ripping out my garden since we got our first frost last night. I am a little sore from all the roto-tilling and digging. Nothing that a glass of wine and a good night's sleep won't cure.
Hope you are doing well.
Take care,
Lynn
Did you come up here over the week-end? Sunday turned out to be pretty nice. We went up north today to go hiking in the mountains and there is still plenty of beautiful foliage. If you come up on the 17th, I don't think it will all be gone. Everything just looks so beautiful this time of year.
While Pete was home for his friend's wedding one of his other friends got him to start going to yoga. He really loved it! He got friendly with the yoga instructor and on the last day he was here she asked him if he wanted to go blueberry picking. He liked her but said sorry, I am going back to WA today. Since that time they have been emailing and talking and texting and last week she flew to WA to visit him. They both had the week off and they had a wonderful time. VERY INTERESTING! I can't wait to meet her. She went hiking with him and they went fishing and toured Seattle. Now I am really hoping he makes it home for Thanksgiving because then I am sure he will bring her to meet us.
It is so nice that Adam and his brother get together and go fishing. He is finally approaching his first sea tour. Then the big deal will be to get qualified. When is he finished at Sobic?
I hope you are enjoying the fall.
Take care,
Lynn
