A murky late spring day (fog, clouds, threat of showers). 

Ken's work vacation has ended.  He's off to Logan International to serve American Airlines fliers.  I'll greet him next when he arrives home shortly before 12:30 AM, in the morning.  Meanwhile, I'll soon be preparing for my work shift at the Cutty Sark.

Last week, Ken spent three days with his family, in Wethersfield CT.  Returning here Thursday evening after my work shift.  Friday, as Ken thought he might venture to the beach, he drove me to work as my car has the beach parking sticker applied.  He picked me up , at 8 PM, and we ate dinner at The Steak House.   We were up early, on Saturday, as we had agreed to prepare and serve French Toast at our church's prayer breakfast.  Only 12 of us, but our efforts were appreciated and we had a nice social time followed by discussion relating biblical teachings to current events.  I worked my normal afternoon/evening motel shift, closing out at 8 PM.  Sunday, June 14, was the date we have selected as the anniversary of the beginning of our relationship four years ago.  He brought in a dozen roses and we exchanged cards before leaving for church.  Following the service three ladies from church joined us for a brunch of lobster rolls at Shore Road Market. After "chilling-out" for several hours, Ken & I went to Ogunquit for dinner at Roost followed by a drink at The Front Porch.  Early Monday morning we dropped my car at a local repair shop to have a ball joint and front struts installed, a $900-ouch, but a necessity at 98.000 miles on the odometer.  It was ready for us when we returned from grocery shopping  in Portsmouth later that afternoon.  Enjoyed a quiet evening at home where Ken prepared snacks for us as we watched TV.  He had unsuccessfully tried to install a wireless TV device that will allow us to view photos, etc., from his phone, on our TV.  He'll research the installation further with knowledgeable co-workers today.

Time for me to prepare for my work day.
