I always love the little cottages in the towns along the ocean beaches. They have so much personality....like yours.<br /><br />Good on your aunt still kayaking at 90. I had an aunt who was still mowing her yard on her riding lawn mower til she fell off and broke her leg at 80. Her son took it away from her. She water skied well into her 70's.CatieAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433305330968854290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-82369715300295386212014-11-26T14:53:47.457-08:002014-11-26T14:53:47.457-08:00Wow Carol, it looks like you had a wondeful time a...Wow Carol, it looks like you had a wondeful time away visiting family!

We didn't stay there, but as you know it is not a huge town and that hotel stood out. We only stayed in the area a couple of days but what I remember most was going out on a fishing boat and everyone, including the deck hands, got sea sick. It was ROUGH! The only person that didn't get sick was our daughter. Interestingly, as she got older things changed and I'm sure she would get sea sick now. Even though it was an awful trip, I do remember most of us catching three or more fish AT A TIME! Hubby, aka 'Fisherman' was happy ;)<br /><br />I hope you got a well deserved rest after your adventures! <br /><br />Doreen@househoneyshttp://househoneys.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-82717364154759670132014-11-23T18:26:56.544-08:002014-11-23T18:26:56.544-08:00Congratulations to your aunt!

I just happened to go to an antique store not far from me that sold Maileg items too! I just about died when I saw them, because I wanted them a couple of years ago. I didn't realize how expensive they were! I didn't buy any, but at least I know where they are if I ever decide to. They're mainly sold overseas. Your aunt is amazing for her age, btw! I would love to be as healthy and vibrant as her at 90.
