Today…
To me, some days feel like the popcorn kernels must feel inside a hot air popper…things just seem to burst unexpectedly. I got up, drank coffee and knit three rounds on the sleeve of my peony dyed sweater…typical enough…and then I got dressed and went outside. There was a cardinal perched on the pussy willow…we…

Guildive…old French for eau de vie…the Water of Life. Steven and Norma went to the town docks for a little tour yesterday…isn’t she pretty! She’ll be sailing out of Searsport every Monday…you can find more information on their website
Read MoreEvening at Fort Knox
Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrow Bridge is about 15 minutes from the campground in Prospect. Last night Marie and I attended “Business after Hours” sponsored by the Bucksport Chamber of Commerce…what fun…wine, nibbles, happy people and a private tour of the Fort with guide extraordinaire Roger Bennatti. Admittedly, history fascinates me most when it has…
Read MoreFocused on the Bay
The Days go by in a blink of an eye…Pictures of This Week: Steve is working with Ron Huber Director of the Penobscot Bay Watch to keep track of the sea life living close to shore. With the help of interested young campers, they braved the water (not too cold…maybe 60 degrees) and netted over…
Read MoreRental Trailers
Every couple of years we buy new rental trailers and sell off the old ones. This works well because you always have something fresh and new to stay in and someone else gets to buy a really nice used trailer at a discounted price…win/win. Last week we placed our order for two new trailers to…
Read MoreSusan Perrine and Garden Day Preparations
I’ve been thinking about this post for several days now…and the titles have been written and erased 100 times: “It rains and we’re mud-covered”, “Playing in the Mud”, “Why didn’t I become a doctor?”, and my current favorite…”I’ve used up all my smiles today…try me tomorrow.” BUT I am more mature, smarter, savvy, optimistic than…

Read MoreClean up weekend…came and went…
It’s alot like Christmas…or any other highly anticipated holiday…you plan for months, the actual festivities whirl by (and you keep reminding yourself to enjoy and remember the details) and then on Monday you’re back to a routine with only warm memories and wonderful gifts. That was “Ship Shape Weekend #18″…our annual clean up event that…
Read MoreWhat a weekend…or who says we don’t know how to party?
When you really need a day off, you can feel it in your bones…and loved ones can hear it in your voice (and I’m going to leave it at that). So this weekend I took Saturday off… First I headed to Fairfield in the Kennebec Valley for the Maine Annual Spinner’s meeting…a day of gabbing,…
Read MoreA tenting mom asks…
Last week in the e-mail box was a great note from T.C. of Canada…she has never been to this part of Maine before and had a few questions. Her questions are probably ones others share so with her permission…I’m making the Q&A part of her e-mail public: Could you please tell me if the beach…
