long time, no post
Hello, everyone. I'm sorry to have been away so long.
I spent most of April and May in Maine with my maternal grandmother after my grandfather was injured. While helping her out, I was also able to spend time with one of my aunts and take a week to visit my best friend. After roughly three months at either hospital or rehabilitation, my grandfather's now back home and is doing remarkably well.
I do have notes from the trip, but am not sure if I'll post them; I haven't even posted from my Arizona visit with my paternal grandmother (who is still with us and currently in Ohio).
For the time being, you can find a small selection of photos behind the cut that summarise some of my Maine and New Hampshire memories.
(One of the reasons I still keep my LiveJournal account is for photohosting. After LJ switched to the new Scrapbook system, my albums were in complete disarray -- I lost all the gallery layouts, photos were in the wrong directory or else arranged backwards, and so on. I salvaged what I could, but deleted the rest; this is why photos may be missing from old entries.)
These first four photos were taken during and after a ferry ride with a particularly lovely sunset happening.
The helipad outside one of Grandpa's hospital rooms.
A lovely church in downtown Portland.
The cherry blossoms were blooming just around the time I first arrived in Maine.
A view I saw often from the living room window. One day I even saw a horse and rider making their way down the path toward the beach.
Peaceful dusk.
Waves crashing on the back shore.
A bee visiting one of Grandma's flowers.
Kun cosplaying Hijiri. We had a difficult time coming up with doable spontaneous cosplay ideas, but went back to Yami no Matsuei in the end.
