we arrived in roxbury, maine friday afternoon...the house was the size of a double-wide trailer and the yard the size of a football field (the house sitting in the middle)...it sits along side an amazing brook and across the road from a beautiful river...we pulled into the driveway and up onto the back lawn...surveying the yard and you would see about 10-12 rv's parked around the outskirts of the lawn...the garage has massive tarp tent connected to it so as to extend it another 10-15 feet...there were people everywhere snacking on food and drinking whatever quenches their thirst...it was about 75 degrees and sunny...we put off pitching out tent for awhile...we joined in the festivities...
i had no idea what i was in for and neither did dominic...most of the people there were people that had worked for this guy moe at ge at some point in time...so i met a bunch of people that dom has worked with and some that he hadn't...in this process we had some beer, heard some great stories, and i even ate moose!! i know, i know....don't fall of the chair...kaela ate moose...it was really good...tasted like venison...as the night went on the music started (there were a bunch of musicians there)...not going to lie it was the most country western music i have been around for years...and im not talking the garth brooks kind of stuff...im talking songs that whine about being your own grandpa and wife is your daughter...strange but was fun to have music going...some of the guys got up and sang with the guitars...
the night carried on until 4am...dominic and i only made it til about midnight...(guess we're getting old)
there is so much more to tell but im getting tired...it's almost 11pm here...im off for now...will write more later...
remind me to tell you about fran, lobsters, clifford, rain, fires, smelt, crepes, mosquito bites, welts, kick in the face, smores, throwing rocks, foreign languages and anything else that comes into my head...haaaaaa
well not anything else....
night

This sounds like so much fun kaela! I bet it's so nice for you and Dom to just share this time together too!
By any chance does the foreign language story have to do with how they call certain items by other names? Like "soda" for "pop." I'll have to share my Connecticut story with you sometime.
