In 1994 Paul and his mother bought this LL Bean pocket watch for Fred. Paul happened to see it in the LL Bean catalog. It is the pocket version of their field watch. Fred has always worn pocket watches and Priscilla wanted him to have a nice one that would last awhile.
A couple of months ago it stopped working. He took it to a jeweler and they fixed the watch, but a couple of days later the back fell off. The jewler did not have a back that would fit this watch and LL Bean doesn't sell pocket watches anymore. While we there this past weekend Paul talked to them and they happened to still have that part and they mailed it to us. The part came today so Paul took it back to the jeweler and they put it on. Fred seemed very happy to have his watch back in working order!
In other news....tonight we made a tent for the first time with Mason. He didn't really want to get way under, but liked to stick his head under. Marley, on the othe hand, loves to get into the tent. We are going to have to come up with another type of tent, though, because she is way too long for this type of tent, LOL!
