Time Travel

It’s still balmy here on Penobscot Bay. With all the activity swirling around at the campsites, it’s like we jumped into a time machine and popped out on July 4th. Last night we even had a group swim…I waded in about to my knees and that was enough for me. Without prompting, some of the…

It’s Hot and We’re Ready!

It’s 90 degrees in the shade…the breeze is tropical and just yesterday I had a wool sweater on most of the day…I’m happiest laying around like a desert rat but this really is insane…I swear that at the beach even the mussels are panting…but I digress before I even start. It’s party time again…did I…

The Sun was Out this Morning!

We woke to sunshine today…after a long cold spell of rain and drizzle.  The boys ended up chipping after all this weekend but I spent most of my time inside the heated store trying to set up the displays…and I’ve still got a ways to go. Saturday morning during a break in the rain, Dad…

Everybody Knows Your Name…

Remember the sitcom Cheers? The restaurant across the street, Abbracci’s, gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling that they’re glad you came. And they want you to bring your own bottle of wine. Dad got back from Florida this weekend and combined our celebration of his return, his birthday and how great the gardens are looking…

Is it Really Spring?

We’ve had two days of sunshine, the gold finches are in full summer regalia and I worked on the balcony in a tee shirt and light sweater…it must be Spring…the forsythia are blooming and I now have a bouquet of daffodils on my paperwork strewn kitchen table. Another sign of Spring is Dad’s return tomorrow…
