My New England summer is coming to an end. The past eleven weeks can be described in many ways, i have chosen the word; arresting. A summer filled with magnificent memories that I will remember forever. Thank you M.C. & D.R.A.F. for my summer home (pic below) I will forever remember the incredible times we shared. I Love you both! McAvoy
