I flew into Bangor last night around 9:30 after a long day of driving and flying. It was a hard job to leave that sun and sand but back to reality for me. The last leg of the flight a guy sat next to me from Lubec so it was fun to have someone from home to chat with.
While in Big Pine Key I spent some time at Bahia Honda state park enjoying the sun and warm water. Evenings we drove into Key West and check out some restaurants and pubs. And the sunsets were beautiful but I have never seen one disappear so fast! I got to see the famed Cat Man on the water front "Hurry up...take your time" Cute.. haha I tried some conch fritters and some Key west pinks both very tasty. I was quite surprised to step on the scale this afternonn and see that I lost 2 lbs while away. But other than a few treats and lots of wine I ate fruit and drank water so it must have all balanced out!
It was a great treat to meet Bob in person. I wish we had more time together but there is always next time! I will be going back as soon as I can( after hurricane season comes and goes for another year that is)! Anyway he is a sweet man and I really enjoyed the time we did squeeze in. There is quite a difference in him now and his last picture back in January! You really are an inspiration Bob!
Amy was sick while I was gone but she's getting better and back to her old self. She loved the teddy bear I found for her and she can't wait for Daddy to get home so she can get her other presents! I think if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have come back. But life has a way of pulling you back to reality......here I am with dinner baking in the oven, laundry going(that Paul piled up all week)...back to losing myself in the day to day details of a humdrum life. I know there is a way to have both, I just need to find the recipe!

Welcome back to the real world! I missed reading your blog while you were away. Congratulations on the minus two pounds, probably a result of reasonable eating and lots of walking around and activity. Sometimes you will have to tell us all about your funny uncle!
Life can be humdrum sometimes but it can also be exhilarating - the trick is, as you said, to come up with the recipe to balance the two. Keep searching!
I have problems with balancing life's situations too, so I can empathize with you. BUT we are going to do this - lose the weight, keep it off, be healthy and balance exercise, work, home, business, pleasure, emotions, home, stress, relationships, cooking, cleaning, walking, reading, dancing...
My uncle(who is actually my cousin but much older) is a blast. I didn't mind hanging out with just him because it gave me a chance to get to know him better as 2 adults instead of kid and adult.
Paul do you think its possible to really have all those things go right at the same time?? I'm beginning to wonder!!
