My August Trip to Maine

This is the most peaceful spot on earth - Grandma's screenhouse. She's gone through several versions of it in my lifetime - winds may come and screenhouses may go, but she always gets a new one. We'd have just about every summertime meal in the screenhouse. When I took Calvin, and the next year Calvin and the kids, back home to visit we had lobster cookouts in the screenhouse. All throughout the time I lived at Grandma's, we'd spend many evenings in there watching the fireflies and listening to the frogs in the pond. I've taken a bunch of still pictures of it, pretty much every time I go home, so I can put a picture up in my cubicle and go to my "happy place".
