Life of Jeannie Take Two: September 2009

September 18 - Kennett Eagles vs. Plymouth Regional Bobcats football game.....Jeff Sires scores a touchdown!!!

Reprinted from New Hampshire Union Leader reporter Mark Thaler's article: Yet Kennett (2-1 Div. IV) didn't go quietly. Quarterback Scotty Saunders (4 of 14 passing, 131 yards, two TDs) hit Jeff Sires in stride for a 28-yard strike with 8.6 seconds to play in the third. Logan Spoor's PAT pulled the guests within a score. "They're tough. They're very physical. It's a credit to them," Kennett head coach Ken Sciacca said. "But at least we battled to the end." Photographs by Lynne Saunders. Great stuff ha?

This is my favorite "action shot".....

September 12 and 13 - Salisbury Beach

Linda made a delicious home-made carrot cake...my favorite....the sun came out on Sunday..yippee...so we sat and hung at the beach for the day....what fun!!! We stayed at Michael's Oceanside....had a great view of the ocean...when the sun came out.....

Here we are in the wind....downtown Salisbury....the surf was so loud!!! Sue took this photograph....

Great hair day ha...love Sandra's hat!!!

In front of Uncle Eddie's......Thanks girls....and thanks to everyone who called me and sent me cards on my 60th birthday....or am I still 59????

September 12 - Salisbury Beach - "Sideways Rain/Wind"....

We had a great weekend at Salisbury with the Rain/Wind and howling surf. The waves were amazing to watch.....we ended up at Uncle Eddie's for a little rest....turns out Sandra knows the owner...related to the Pacheco's in Chelmsford...small world. We had a lovely lunch at Hobo's and then another lunch on Saturday at Capri's.....we finished the night at the new and "wonderful" Seaglass. They have huge flood lights outside the windows...so you feel like you're on a cruise boat. With the huge surf, it was a fabulous view.

Love this sign.....

September 12 - Salisbury Beach...Sandals "left behind"

Sandra said there must be a country song for these "left behind sandals"....we know they are from a student who attends U.Mass...Maybe they were forgotten on Labor Day weekend...but these sandals "have a past" story to tell....Jaycee Dawn - can you help us?

Lincoln was so fascinated by Great Gram's "walker"....

The boys kept wanting to wake up Great Grammie...she said she loved sleeping in Lance's "Spider Man" bed.

Lincoln loves to help......
