2024 Life Logs, Day 98: Sunday Soccer and Off to Maine
Date: Sunday, April 7, 2024
Weather: Partly Sunny, Windy; High Temp 47, Low 29 degrees F
Location: With Heather, Sam, and Jonah at the Fairfield Inn, Scarborough, Maine
I spent my morning getting ready for the trip to Maine to see the total eclipse. I packed Shadow up and took him to Bruce and Jane Woodin’s. They had graciously offered to keep him for me, but when I got there, I discovered that Jane’s older sister Ann had passed away during the night. Jane already had a flight scheduled for tomorrow to go down to Tallahassee and check on Ann, so she is sticking with that plan. I felt terrible leaving Shadow with them under the circumstances, but they insisted. Jane didn’t let me know ahead of time as she knew I would never have left Shadow with them. She will be leaving at 8 am, but Bruce is not flying down with her at this time. So, Bruce was fine with keeping Shadow until I return late tomorrow night. My heart is with Jane and her family.
After getting Shadow settled, I headed back home. Heather was in Hyannis at Jonah’s soccer game, a tie, and when they returned home, the three of us headed to Taunton to see Sam’s soccer game, a 4-1 win. Sam rode to Taunton with a friend as we were not going to be able to get him there on time. Jed and Ollie had already left for Bethel, Maine, to stay with Jed’s Aunt Carol. After Sam’s soccer game, the four of us drove to a Fairfield Inn in Portland, Maine for the night. We didn’t get here until after 10 pm, so we all just went to bed. We have a lot of driving tomorrow and hope to get a good night’s sleep.
