Thanksgiving for 2007 was a little different for me for a few different reasons; Mom and Jack did not visit as they are saving money to come up this year at Christmas, Robin and I had dinner at my Grandparents in Dexter along with roughly 20 other family members and then later in the evening Robin and I headed to the coast where her parent’s live.

The weather for Thanksgiving day was fairly cool, in the 40’s with clear skies. Robin said that my families Thanksgiving dinner had a lot of people; I’ve never thought of that before as I’ve always had large family gatherings and that’s what’s generally depicted on TV. After eating dinner we headed back to my apartment and then shortly after left for Prospect Harbor to visit with Robin’s parents.

On Saturday Robin and I went in to the hospital to paint our window that she had picked for the annual Christmas window painting contest; we spent a couple of hours painting it and I think ours is the best out of all of them- at least message-wise.

Today Robin and I went to Church at Cornerstone and then headed back to Bangor for dinner (Governor’s). The weather was fairly warm for this time of year- 48° with no wind and clear blue skies. We ate at her apartment on Brewer Lake, shortly after we decided to take advantage of today’s weather and ventured out on to the water in her land lord’s kayaks. We paddled towards a small island on the north end of the lake that hosted a tree swing and what appeared to be a small tree house from the water. We decided to investigate what was on the island and to our surprise the tree house was a real 20×20 camp about 60′ in the air secured by two trees and 6 support beams with cement bases. Unfortunately the ladder was not present; so we looked around the island and sat at the edge for awhile and talked. The trip back to her apartment was much rougher as the wind picked up and was blowing south against us; Robin got wet by the gust driven waves.
