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 121 - May 9: Stuart's Day

Five years ago today, Douglas' brother Stuart died.  Every year on May 9th, we travel to Vineyard Haven, a small hamlet on Martha's Vineyard, for lunch at the Black Dog Tavern.  Stuart and Karen ate at the Black Dog on their honeymoon and for the many years we owned sailboats together, we all frequented this cozy spot built at the water's edge.  Going there, by car and bus and finally ferry (and nearly always on a cold, blustery, rainy day), brings us all closer to Stuart's spirit - and closer to one another.
