Monday’s Drive in Maine – Part 2 – To Sunday River

Monday Drive in Maine – Part 1
~~~ October 4 ~~~ It wasn’t peak for the leaves, but there were pretty spots and it was a beautiful day for a drive – without a destination in mind. It was just Cerwin, Diane and Me. Mark was at work. After getting to the Lewiston/Auburn area, we entered “Country Market” in the GPS, because […]
Sunday in Maine
~~~ October 3 ~~~ I enjoyed the view outside Mark and Diane’s living room and kitchen area. The beautiful hydrangea came with the house they bought several years ago. There are a few vegetables in their raised garden boxes, but most things are finished for the year. I love seeing these pretty flowers outside their […]
Traveling to Maine
~~~ Saturday, October 2 ~~~ I enjoy this drive because we get up early enough to head into the sunrise – about an hour or two after we get on the road. At one point we could see the moon. Our drive was fairly normal until we were close to the New Jersey/New York state […]
Birthday Supper with Jordan
~~~ Tuesday Evening, September 28 ~~~ We stopped by Jordan’s house before supper because we hadn’t seen the inside since he remodeled the kitchen/dining/living room area. Good job, Jordan. It is beautiful. These two spent most of the evening talking about their recent hunting trips. Jordan just returned from elk hunting in Colorado – with […]

Lunch with Roy & Deb – Part 1
~~~ Sunday Afternoon, September 26 ~~~ This was Roy and Deb’s choice for their birthday meal for 2021. I love atmosphere with my meals, so this was a real treat for my soul. This restaurant is located on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. What fun to watch boats and ships going by us. The canal […]
Sauder Cousins
~~~ Saturday Evening, September 25 ~~~ We had a great evening enjoying a carry-in-meal and visiting with Cerwin’s Sauder cousins. There could have been many more, but nevertheless it was great to get caught up on each other’s lives. Several more came after the meal – some who we had not seen for many years. […]

Spraying for Spotted Lanternflies
We thought maybe we weren’t going to be bothered with Spotted Lanternflies this year, but a few weeks ago we began seeing them again. Cerwin got out his trusty sprayer and attached it to our lawnmower and went to war against them. The next evening as I enjoyed the setting sun, I wondered what was […]
