It's crazy, but the LaCour crew managed to find a spot in our calendars where we could all be in the same town at the same time and not have to work non-stop. So we converged on Wells, Maine. Eric Laurits invited us up to his cottage - along with Chris & Katie Torres - where we've had a blast playing marathon games (4+ hours) of Monopoly, visiting lighthouses, singing a capella and vocal percussion, eating homemade tortellini, antiquing, playing basketball, solving puzzles, drinking beer, wine, coffee, hot apple cider with delightful mulling spices, hot cocoa and Bailey's.

Garrett, Joy and Graycen Nudd were supposed to come, too, but alas, Graycen came down with a cold at the last minute. Miss y'all!

On Monday we ate, according to Reader's Digest for the past 20 years, the best hot dogs on U.S. Highway 1 from Florida to Maine. Flo's Hot Dogs. Simply amazing. I bought a crate full and am taking them home to Georgia with me. Oh, and how about Congdon's Doughnuts. Mmmm... tasty!



On Tuesday, David and Linda Murray invited all of us to their studio in Kennebunkport and then to their amazing home right on beach in Goose Rocks Beach. David cooked everyone mussels and we walked out the side door onto the beach for a leisurely afternoon stroll. We insisted that J Sandifer and Emilie Sommer play hookey from work and come down and visit, too! And we also got to meet and hang out with John Santerre, who shoots weddings with David Murray and also produces multimedia work with the VII agency. Such a beautiful, relaxing day, surrounded by such fun people!



We'll post more soon! We have a ShootQ party today in Portland. Can't wait to see everyone!
