October 20, 2026 – Lisbon Falls, Maine, to Sturbridge, Massachusetts We left Mark and Diane’s home about 11 am with Diane following us. Our first stop was to get enough fuel to take us to the Sturbridge gas station where the cost was just over $4. While Cerwin fueled the car, Diane went to a […]
Day 2 in Maine – A Road Trip to Rangeley
Monday, October 20 Our day started with a large flock of turkeys walking through Mark and Diane’s yard. We first saw them across the street, but Mark and Diane knew they would eventually be in their yard. I had my best view of them from our bedroom, where I could see them in one of […]
Day 1 in Maine
It was a cold start to the day (25 degrees) with lots of frost, which was quite noticeable on the hood of our car. We saw more beautiful trees on the way to church. We were hoping to see Mt Washington, which is now snow covered, but there was too much haze over the mountain. […]

Day 2 of Our Trip to Maine
After eating in the breakfast room of our motel in Sturbridge, we headed northeast with a goal of reaching Sanford, Maine, by 10:30 am. The morning started out gray and cloudy.

Day 1 of Our Trip to Maine
We left home shortly after 8:30 am this morning in a light drizzle that lasted most of the day. During our drive to today’s destination – a motel in Sturbridge, Massachusetts – Cerwin turned the wipers on and off many times. The price of gas was really good at our first stop in Bloomsbury, New […]

Sunday Morning Rain
October 11 Remember I told you yesterday that the soybean harvest in both fields next to us was because rain was predicted for the entire day on Sunday. We followed this Amish carriage for a bit just before they turned into this home along our road. It looks like many of them got wet before […]
Soybean Harvest
Saturday, October 10 It was interesting to watch two different farms having their soybeans harvested at the same time. That was because the beans were ready and the next day (Sunday) was supposed to be a full day of rain. I first noticed the combine below our yard. The stalks and trash come out the […]
