It has been a long eight months, but we're finally back in Maine. Getting back here is never easy, but this time I had the help of my niece Bridget, who flew into Reno, spent a couple days with us in Winnemucca, then drove east with me & Ruby.

Somewhere on I-80, Ruby driving?

The drive was so easy (compared to doing it with kids)... right up until mile 2,750 when we broke down on the Massachusetts Turnpike at rush hour, just 117 miles shy of Portland. Luckily, we were able to rent a car and get the van to a Mazda dealer and make it back to Portland to pick up Mark, Silas & Levi at the airport as planned.
We're all a little tired, but so happy to be home!
