Remember the Maine!

Since we got robbed of sleep yesterday we slept in till 8 am. 5 hours sleep is just great. The Motel 6 (a real gyp cause it felt like 5) did not serve breakfast. We went to McD’s. Delicious. Next stop was the New Hampshire state liquor store. Cheaper than Maine. Weird how it’s so busy in the morning. I have a new portable bar, called a Cock Tail Gator. I have bartending duties here in Maine and have to lug around tools and supplies to every party so I can make drinks for everyone. It’s a blessing and a curse.

We jumped in the car and off across the bridge and we are in Maine!! Finally. After 3000+ miles. We zipped through Maine quite quickly, listening to The Nighingale on CD. Stopped for gas once. No real excitement. Arrived at our cottage at about 230. Unhooked. Unpacked. Emily cleaned.

Our friends from Florida, Dan and Susan, arrived at Emily’s folks house in Skowhegan about 5 and we got there a few minutes later. Beth (mom) made American chop suet, dee (sister) made bread, I made cocktails and we had dinner.

After dinner we went back to our cottage at the lake as did Dan and Susan. We stopped at the grocery store to stock up on necessaries. Then we did what we do most every day here. We went to Giffords for ice cream. Greatest ice cream on planet earth. They have five ice cream stands here in Maine. The one here in Skowhegan is my favorite. I had a black raspberry frappe. Excellent.

We went to bed immediate after getting back. Hey, I am damn tired. Five days of driving sucks the life out of you.
