Sunday morning, Alberta had reserved a restaurant (the same one that we had gone to dinner the night before) to have brunch for the friends and family that had traveled to Shirley reception. It was a smaller group than had been the night before, and that one last time to share those special memories and moments. 
Among the many things that Shirley enjoyed... NASCAR was one, so I thought this centerpiece was very fitting.
We toasted his life, his memory and hopes of the future with sparkling cider.....
And all too soon, as it always is when we visit the island, the time had gone and we needed to be heading for home. Shirley would never allow anyone to say "goodbye" when they left... it was always.. "see ya".. but on this time... goodbye was the fitting response. I just had to take some shots of this beautiful spot.....
and we slowly made our way for home.
The "famous" Bucksport bridge. That is the new bridge (to the left of the photo) and the little old bridge (to the right). I used to dread crossing that old bridge.. I always told our Southwest folks that I must really, really like them if I was brave enough to cross that bridge to see them. I must say, the new bridge is so much better!!!!
And coming down the coast... you just have to stop at Moody's and have some lunch (and pie)... which we did!!!
It was so very nice to get away even just for one night. Sadie managed the farm, and it was a nice change of scenery... we haven't gone any where since we began the house... so, this was really very special. I said to Ed that it was because of Shirley that we "got away"..
and so, once again our dear Friend.. thank for you a wonderful time and you will always remain very close in my heart and memories...
