Visiting Family – Sunday – June 23, 2013

We woke to a rainy, dreary morning. We had no plans until afternoon, so we just took our time getting it together.  We have one thing left to do while we are in Wells.  My brother, Rick lives just south of here in Eliot, Maine.  He is a musician and works mostly nights.  This time of year he is real busy with gigs at local restaurants and hotels.  So we made plans to see him, his wife Carrie and his daughter, our niece, Marielle about 2pm this afternoon.


Eliot, Maine is about 30 minutes south of Wells where we are staying.  It is a very rural, small town but only a few minutes from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  So they have the best of small town and big city living :o))

 

 

It was an easy drive to Rick and Carrie's home. 

 

Once in Elliot, we turned back a long dirt road.

 

 

Around a bend, we saw the nice house and barn

where Marielle keeps her horses and rents an apartment over the garage.

 

 

We continued on to the end of the road where we found Rick and Carrie’s house.

We had a nice visit and got caught up on their recent trip to Little Current, Canada. 

Little Current is a place where our family spent every summer vacation:o))

Rick bought a rustic cabin near where we vacationed!!

 

 

Before long, Marielle joined us.

 

She had spent the morning at a horse show and just got back.

We have not seen Marielle since she graduated from high school.  She is a delightful young lady!!  She loves her horses and currently works in two different emergency rooms to pay her bills.  She is also is an accomplished photographer and horse trainer. She plans to pursue a career in the medical profession. She is not afraid of hard work and we wish her every success!!

 

 

Before we left, we got to meet her best buddies…
