Went up to Maine this weekend and brought my aunt Virginia up to stay for the weekend with my parents. Usually she gets to go up there for a week or two each year but the last 2 years it has not worked out. This year she went out to Indiana to visit her family for 3 weeks. She lost her 29 year old grand son a month ago..(my cousin of course that wrote about) We finally got her up there but only for a weekend.
We had a great time. Joe took Friday off and of course I have it off due to being out of work with my knee injury. So we left at 9:00 AM on Friday so that we would get there early afternoon instead of 8:00PM. We went out to lunch for Chinese food and then to the new Hannafords to buy some food. The guys went fishing and us girls read our books and chatted about nothing. We had hot dogs for dinner and had a nice warm campfire. Saturday Joe cooked us all breakfast. he is good at that. The guys went fishing again ( which turned into 5 hours) us girls went out to shop for books. We went to 3 places and finally found a book we had been looking for since Springtime. 6th target by James Patterson. We then treatd ourselves to an ice cream at Cindy's Dockside and ate them out at the picnic tables by the Mariner. We had a nice chicken dinner with baked potatoes and corn on the cob. It started to sprinkle out so we decided on no fire and to instead play some games. We had a game of triple yahtzee in which my dad won. We then played 3 games of Cosmic Wimpout which dad won the first 2 and Joe won the last game.
The weather the whole weekend was in the 70's and sunny. Sunday we stayed til 3:00PM had gone out to breakast and then read our books and went through a million quarters looking for the missing states we needed for our books. We had a nice ride home and a wonderful weekend.
It's hard to believe that we will only be going up there 2 more times the last one on the long weekend to close up. It seems like we just opened up.
