Courtney's trip home went way too fast! She was here a week ago Monday and gone last Sunday. I had to work Tues.- Thurs. so I didn't get to spend as much time with her as I would have liked to, but it beat a blank!
On Tues. she slept in until after 12 noon, probably for the first time since the arrest.(obviously not including the coma). The rest was much needed and appreciated by her but getting her to bed at a decent hour the next night wasn't easy and I had to get up early to go to work. So it was decided she wouldn't sleep that late the following mornings.
We had a great evening at the cottage in Damariscotta with friends who made one of Court's favorite dinners: burgers and dogs! It was mucho fun and delicious! Thanks Tom and crew! Wed. she dined at Moody's for lunch and then for dinner the Whale's Tooth Pub in Lincolnville Beach with her Dad,Martha and crew and Uncle Scott and wife Carolyn from Santa Fe. Thurs.after work more friends and neighbors arrived to wish Court happy returns,etc. so we just enjoyed the evening at home. Great to see everyone! Fri. Court and I lounged around in the morning and then went to Augusta to peruse the new(to us) Target store, one of our favorites! We had fun there and came home to join best friend Patricia and Jim for her birthday celebration dinner at the Silver Lane Bistro. YUM! We had a great time eating our way through the week! Sat. morning Court met her high school friends for breakfast in Washington at a new cafe called Sweet Seasons. Blueberry pancakes apparently hit the spot! She was then off to Belfast to meet her Dad and go sailing (tough duty) and on to have some well earned lobstah dinnah at the Lobster Pound.
She is back in Burlington now and hopefully put a few pounds! She is doing very well in her therapies. I couldn't believe how well she is going up and down stairs and actually doing some jogging! She is truly amazing and we are all very hopeful about the future of this incredible woman who has defied ALL the odds. Let's pray that she continues to do so. With everyones help and support I'm sure she will go far! Thank you for your continued support and vigilance of her.
Bless you all,

So sorry to miss the good times in Maine, it sounds like it was a blast! Julie, you are first on my list of folks to hunt down and hug the next time I'm in maine! Miz courtney, i'll be calling you up to talk about a visit next week! xo Val
Sounds like the trip was great! (And reading the blog made me really want some blueberry pancakes)
It sounds like Court loved being back in her own bed in the house she grew up in! Nothing like home cooking, family and good friends. I can't wait to see Courtney, etc. in Mich. in July.
Thanks for the update, Julie!
Love to all,
Aunt Marti
The new cafe in Washington is great. Its on Rt 220 north just as you head out of town. It is a family run business and they use a lot of local products. The coffee is great and the breakfast will definitely fill you up. For now they are open from 6:30 to 2 and they plan on having a dinner buffet in the near future. They also serve ice cream. 5 stars! ~ Nancy C. in Washington
