What a extremely busy few weeks, and not all for good reasons.
We mourned the passing of my wife's grandfather:
OTIS - Ray S. Leavitt, 82, husband of the late Jane M. (Gilmore)
Leavitt, died June 21, 2006, at a Bangor healthcare facility after a brief
illness. He was born Oct. 3, 1923, in Mexico, Maine, the son of Lester L. and Hilma M. (Piper)Leavitt.
Ray was a U.S. Army veteran serving during World War II. He married Jane Sept. 14, 1946, and together they raised their four children in Hampden. Ray was a 57-year member of IUOE Local No. 4 Operating Engineers, and worked on many industrialprojects throughout Maine over his working career. Ray was a past member of the Masons and the Kora Shriners. Ray held many fond memories of his early morning visits at the Otis General Store and hunting seasons spent at his camp in Dixmont. Jane and Ray enjoyed many years together at Beech Hill Pond and their winters in Florida during retirement.
On a happier note, the Mrs. and I just celebrated our six year anniversary!
This was how we spent our special day: Margarita's for dinner (Peter, Grammy Garcia's homemade flour tortillas are way better!), then we hit the Dollar Tree trying to kill an hour before Superman Returns started.
Yes, I know, where has the romance gone...
Yet to come, fireworks pictures and all about our trip across the "DMZ" to watch them.
