Maine Vacation

For my parent's sixty wedding anniversary, they took their children to Maine for a week's vacation. What a trip!!! The Maine beaches are rocks and no Gulf of Mexico white sand. But the water comes up and bounces off the rocks. We went to the most Northeastern point of The United States and took Mother and Dad's pic with the sign and lighthouse. We went out on a 49 foot ketch into the harbor and saw lighthouses, a harbor seal, dolphin, lobster boats, tug boats, and ferries. Benny and I had our pic taken on a working (Hobson,s) pier with lobster traps. We went into Canada to Franklin D Roosevelt's family cottage where he was born and loved to go. A cottage in Maine isn't what I call a cottage. It is located on an international island. Lark and Bill climbed down the rocks and felt of the 50 degree water. BRR!! My favorite place was Bar Harbor ( Baa Haba). The fog over the harbor and Acadia National Park are beautiful. A great place to shop too. We ate lots of lobster any way we could get them. Like Forest Gump, lobster chowder, bisque, stew, boiled, in salads, etc.... It was a vacation of a lifetime and so glad to make memories with my family.

William's Season Opener with Kat

As all football fans know, Saturday was the big day for the state of Alabama. I went to Auburn Friday to spend time with William so his mom and dad could go to the game. William has several cabinets that he is allowed to play in and he loves that. However, I have never seen him open the cabinet with the Auburn decorations. However, on Saturday morning, he crawled right to this one and opened it and started to drag out the party things. He had fun with the necklaces and poms. We played and had a great time. I think he is remembering me now. Of course that makes my heart sing!!! I also included a pic of a waterfall that is near the Barron's.
