Annie Update.

For all her family and friends who have been concerned about Annie's recent health concern. She expresses her thanks and is feeling much better. She has yet another blood test tomorrow.
The fall web worms return each year. We natives can never believe that it's fall even though it happens at the same time each year.
Sunflowers border the garden.
...and Matt just keeps on mowing.

Weekend Update

Inspired by my parents latest project, I dusted off the doll house they made me and am going to give it a face lift.
I'm going to clean it up and put in some new floors, maybe some carpeting, and replace the curtains.
I'm going to keep the furniture Mom and Dad made and get rid of the Dollar Store stuff.
Annie and I enjoyed a day by the pool on Sunday. Aunt Kim and Uncle John came to visit. Annie is not doing so great, so pray for her!. She goes back to the vet in a couple of days for another blood test.

Our black eyed Susan's are in full bloom.
Neighbor Sid completed the new roof on his barn.

The garden just keeps on giving.

Chocolate pie and so much more...

Of course I baked this pie in my spare time.
Annie and I stopped at Mallett Hall for a pee break. We ran into a Mallett family party. Annie took a pee in front of her grandmother's fine art work.

The place was a buzz!


Hero loves camp.
Circle your wagons!!!

One must always have fire.
Happy Camper!

A Day in Boothbay Harbor!!!

I got to take a day trip to beautiful Boothbay Harbor with a friend today. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
In spite of the weather, we had a great time. Had lunch on a tug boat!

The beef and barley soup and pastrami wrap special was so good.

We visited the Maine State Aquarium.

This is a 23 pound lobstah , who would look a whole lot better if he were bright red out of a steaming pot with a shit load of melted butter on the side. It was a great day and I got to see my good friend Jennifer ta boot!!!

My Friday night date was better than yours...

Tonight Butch and I attended a big dance at the Elk's Club.
The Special Olympic cheerleaders gave the crowd a cheer. "How loose is your goose, how funky is your chicken."

One of my favorite couples!!!
Warming up the band.

Party, party, party!!!

After a wild night of dancing, I came home and rested my puffy feet on Annie.

Our yard opened once the camper was relocated.
Neighbor Sid has a new concept in outdoor fire pits.


I just keep on pickin fresh veggies and made green tomato pickles.

Swan Lake State Park

Butch and I recently spent the day at Swan Lake where I took a whole bunch of great photos but lost all but this one somehow. He is such a beach bum!!!

The gardens of Michael Drive just keep on giving!


Eat your hearts out!

We have set up camp!!!


Rita, Kim and I met the guys at the lake once we knew the camper would be placed. Of course we had to stop for breakfast, a yard sale, and the Lee flea market before arriving.

The boat landing.

"Hero" is the latest addition to our extended family. Kim saved him from the animal shelter, Bobby and Rita adopted him, and we all just love him.

I love a water dog!

The camp compound. We even got the fire pit built today.

A Maine campers must have!!!!!!!!

"A Day on the Links"

Once again this year, I was able to take some golfers to this Special Olympic event.
Every year Special O sponsors this free event with a lesson from a golf pro.

Veteran golfer.
It's all about your swing.
