July 2015 Off to USA

Here is where we try to fit a year into 3 weeks! We were all over the place this summer so Eleanor went first, kindly hosted by Frania, Samuel and Linda arrived and split, Samuel left and Tom arrived. Eleanor and Linda left Tom to finish up! Phew. That goes into August, which will feature the Plymouth post.

 The full set of Bartlett girl cousins: Rosie, Lily, Eleanor and Maddie
 Finally Eleanor got to spend July 4th with her American family. Here she is with Grandma Bartlett.
 Samuel and Linda spent a chilly night in Rejkavik!
 Back with the Cetlins, but this time in Newton. Emily and Eleanor.
 Amanda
 With Dana across overlooking the Charles River
 We stopped in at Wells, Maine, and Linda was able to thank Frania in person.

 Great stop at Sallie's in Cumberland, Maine where we met up with cousins, the Carothers.

 So good to see Lala
 Then off to Booth Bay Harbor to stay with the wonderful Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Curt

 We had a magical trip to the botanical gardens
 The log cabin is a dream, as is Jeanne's cooking!
 After that we stopped at Camden, Maine, for a little thrift store shopping!
 We found Otis and our friends Mark and Kathy. It was hard to choose from a wide selection of pictures of Otis and Bangor, Maine. Kathy is a photographer and she patiently took me on an expedition. 









We left Maine for New Hampshire to deliver the gift Linda had created to mark Ruth Judd's wedding to Grant. Here we are in Concord. 


 Andrew
 Caroline
 Johnnie and Jimmy (Tom's godson)

 Plus William
 Ruth, the bride to be
 Bill is Eleanor's godfather

Then, there she was with husband and brothers.

The wedding art quilt, with Linda's feet!
