i am too brain dead to come up with a snazzier title, so bear with me.

as like all of my augusts do, they come and go fast

so i give to you THE GREAT CATCH UP post and pray you will forgive its lameness.

BAR HARBOR has stolen my heart-- for good. this is where i want my ashes spread when i die, it's where i want to purchase a summer home and hide away for months on end, where i share so many amazing memories with my best buddies.
