Wow - what a weekend. It was always going to be a busy one.
This Saturday was the 1st Annual Pirate Rendezvous in Damariscotta and the launch of our new ice-cream line at the store - SO - lots and lots and lots to do and a check list a mile long, plus a full house of guests and some of my oldest, dearest friends coming to see us.
Thursday early afternoon I kicked off my errands list with a trip to the local supermarket and on my way home got myself into a serious car accident - another driver T-Boned me. The rest of the weekend "just happened". I THINK that everything that needed to get done got done. Hubby was doing "authentic" Dominican pirate barbecued pirate fare for the Pirate Rendezvous so we were up at 4:20 a.m. to get the barbecues down to the site so he could get his enormous pork roasts done and I needed to get back to the inn to make the raspberry blackurrent sorbet for breakfast. Hubby's BBQ went superbly - he was serving the pork with very traditional sides - cassava, plantains, his "green sauce" and wassakaka. The food was gone in an hour , all plates were empty and people were "drinking" the green sauce and wassaka. The event was enormous fun. I'm still a little "shell-shocked" and honestly, I think the fact we were so ridiculously busy this weekend helped me go into auto-drive. I'm feeling tired and sore today but all the rooms need to be done so I'm just going to get on with it
I also found out last week that my adored step mother has breast cancer.
Bree ..... I'm hoping this is #3 and I'm now DONE with the bad things. I have a charmed life most of the time but when that stuff hits the fan it's usually pretty major.
