“Animals have done us no harm and they have no power of resistance.…There is something so very dreadful…in tormenting those who have never harmed us, who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power.”—Cardinal John Henry Newman

Danforth

SO happy with the last 36 hours spent at Danforth. We are starting a whole new chapter at the Inn, all positive, high energy, team play. Got SO much done. Gardening, decorating, rearranging, cleaning. THREE event request calls in one hour and a fantastic meeting about an upcoming event that is going to be amazing. Excited to spend a lot more time there and getting back involved - here we go!

This is the start of redoing one of the mantles for fall and the wedding this weekend.

Ava's 911 Hike

Why is that September 11 is always a spectacular blue sky, no cloud day? Went on a late afternoon carriage road walk with Ava and Gam.

Smuggs from the air

Love this shot that Bruce Tindal sent me that he took from an over flight yesterday.

Lunch at the Club

Erica took John and I to lunch at the Bar Harbor Club today to celebrate her closing AND a last lunch before she heads to Barcelona on a Mediterranean cruise. It was beautiful!!!!!

Sun set....

So pretty, so end of day. Brought back memories of watching the sun sink into the Pacific, very cool moment - like seeing the sun set on days I feel like I spent well.

Friday Facebook wisdom

Someone once said... "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it, you surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad and focus on the good, love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be… anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Ravenscleft Today
