With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 160 - June 17: The Piscataqua Cafe

Today I attended a memorial service for my friend, Joanna's stepfather, Deane.  During his eulogy, Deane's son used two words to describe him perfectly - compassion and humor.  Deane loved to get my goat - and then shower me with loving hugs.  This week we lost a really good one.  After the service, I drove through New Castle, the tiny island off of Portsmouth, NH where I lived after graduating.  Across the street from our house was this fantastic building, a private residence but still with the sign indicating its former life as a cafe.  I was so pleased to see it in even better shape than when I lived there so long ago.  A gorgeous, peaceful place to spend time on memory lane, thinking of my old friend, Deane.
