Short vacation interruption

I finally updated my Arizona trip with Days 6 & 7 - however it has posted in the wrong order (I think because I made a mistake and posted it before it was ready). Anyway, there are lots of nice pictures of our horseback trail ride and Sedona and I hope you enjoy it!

We are having a lovely week in Maine. We've visited with lots of old friends, gone sailing, and had some great meals (lobster last night - yum!). I am leaving for 2 days now and driving down to the Boston area. Two reasons for the trip: 1) I am dropping Hannah off at Logan airport to fly to Madrid for a one-month language program in Spain (yikes!); 2) I am meeting with my brother and cousins as we try to solve some of the issues we are dealing with about the house my grandmother left to all of us (in short, we are running out of money and need to figure out how to keep the house in the family). I will be staying at my aunt's house in Rockport, MA, a house I have stayed at many, many times in my life. While this is an interruption in my vacation, I am actually looking forward to being with my family in Rockport. I haven't stayed there in years.

I had a great run on Tuesday. I went with my husband which was a lot of fun, and I just felt great! Last night we met up with some old friends from Tom's childhood (I have now known them for more than 20 year myself) - including myself there were 4 women in our 40s, and we were ALL new runners! It was very validating, and we had some great conversation about running, getting older, and discovering ourselves.

I will finally finish the Arizona trip during the weekend, and then I'll post a few photos from Maine as well!
