My constant companion for the last 3 1/2 days (taken by my husband, guest photographer) Back from vacation for two days and I end up in the hospital. Let’s just say this hasn’t been my week. Bacteria that got into my blood from a procedure put me through a lot […]
Scenery
Leaving Nantucket So Kevin didn’t think my first back-from-vacation photo was scenic enough. Well, here’s another. It’s more of what you’d expect from a Nantucket visit, I’m sure. It was a bit disturbing that every single house and building on the island was shingled in the exact same way. They […]
