Girls weekend

This weekend the girls and I had a "girls weekend". We were suppose to go camping one last time, but basically at the last minute Robbie was told he had to go to Annapolis on Friday morning and then Tuesday will be flying to FL for a seminar he's presenting at. So, with me having the weekend off, we decide we'd go and get some warmer clothing for the girls. We had a great time, went to TJ Maxx, Fashion Bug, Old Navy, Famous Footwear and Walmart. Tiz got a pair of "Nine West" shoes that are adorable and priced just right! We got home in time for Robyn to go babysit until 10. Thanks so much Ashy for picking her up! Saved me from keeping Tiz up late!
Saturday Robyn had a make-up Field Hockey game so we chilled at home until it was time to take her to the school to catch the bus.
Sunday we decided that we wanted to get pumpkins and apples. So Robyn researched and we finally decided to go to Beth's Farm stand. Off we went and when we got there, it was absolute packed! We ended up getting fresh spinach, tomatoes, cukes, apples, popping corn on the cob and YES pumpkins!

On the way home we drove threw Damariscotta and got stuck in the middle of traffic for the great pumpkinfest! We were lucky enough that the traffic was slow that we were able to get some great shots of the wonderful pumpkins!







Today was Columbus Day and I had to work. So the girls got to sleep in and enjoy a relaxing day and finish up homework. When I got home I was pleasantly surprised to have dinner waiting for me that Robyn made (with assistance from Tiz of course)! Freshly made chicken noodle soup made in the crock pot and dessert of warm brownie w/ice cream!!!




So I think the girls and I had a fabulous weekend, I know I did. We spent great quality time together and lots of laughs. Now I'm sitting here on the couch, chilled w/my nose cold and thinking of how jealous I am that Robbie will be in FL tomorrow in 90 degree weather!! I'm not however jealous of him having to speak in front of god knows how many people, that is something I don't envy and could never do! But I'm missing him and can't wait for him to be home on Thursday!

Sounds like a well-deserved girls weekend for all three of you. Love the shoes! Oh and the new hairdo on each girl is great, love the red eyes! Good thing Ashy is available to run errands huh? What does Robbie have to present at the FL conference?

Session 603

Sandwich Construction with Wood

In this case study, our presenters will share the details of an innovative construction project. The builder, Hodgdon Yachts (East Boothbay, Maine), took on the challenge of combining wood with carbon-epoxy composites to achieve a lightweight, high-performance sailing yacht. At the same time, Hodgdon wanted to work with renewable materials—and to minimize waste. To achieve its goals, Hodgdon brought in the AEWC Advanced Structures and Composites Center at the University of Maine to define specific structural needs, and to test and analyze the project's specified wood/composite bonded structural components to meet classification-society requirements. Join us for the impressive results, and to ask your questions about this type of sandwich construction.

Speakers: Robby Ham (Hodgdon Yachts), Bob Lindyberg (University of Maine)

Usually I get rid of the red eye, Robyn always has them when I take pictures, but I thought in this case it added to their appearance!

I think it spices their looks up! You know, that possessed look! :)
