If you can’t tell, that is rain out there. I shot from inside cuz I’m made of sugar. It’s 1045 and only two of us are out of bed and neither is fully dressed yet. Hey, it’s raining.
I am thinking we may go to Waterville and screw around. Maybe go see a movie. They have an eight screen cineplex. Whoa. Quel modern, n’est pas? I am only 75 miles from Canada.
Well we got on the road to Waterville by 1245. We decided to find lunch first and used Yelp. So the kids spent the ride to Waterville and a few more minutes to pick the same restaurant I already suggested back at camp. Then it was closed. So we went to a pizza and sandwich shop a half block away. Excellent choice. Store related to Al’s Pizza in Skowhegan which we all like.
After lunch we went shopping. One our favorite places is Modern Underground. They sell mid century modern furniture and some housewares. For people around my age its like walking into your parents living room. Last year I bought a 60’s outdoor furniture set. Solid steel, powder coated with upholstered cushions. It’s in the front room here. My aunt Iva had the exact set on her patio. Funny. I would love to buy the danish modern dining table and chairs I saw. But you can only buy so much. I did pick up a set set of 6 50’s era Collins glasses with a glass cocktail shaker. The have a gold leaf motif and are awesome. The owner gave me a very large discount even though he never gives discounts. Lucky me.
We went across the street to the bakery just to have them tell us they are sold out. Every time I go there they are sold out. You have to order ahead. I am not that prepared and driving 20 miles for bread is crazy. Of course I bought bread up in Monson the other day and that’s 40 miles. But I was already there.
Next door to the bakers is a second hand store which sells vintage clothing. All the items it were very expensive when first sold. Now they are vintage classics. Her prices range around the $20 mark. I picked up a Hawaiian shirt for $17. 
After all that we went to a 4 o’clock showing of Baby Driver at the Waterville cineplex. 8 screens. Wow. It felt like a early 80s version of what most of us think of as a movie house. For Maine it’s modern. But Maine is behind the times, a little backward and slow. Of course, that’s why I like coming here. Anyhow, loved the movie, popcorn not so good.
We drove home after, stopping at in laws for something they didn’t have. Then to wal mart to to pick up a few sundry items. Then home.
I made steak sandwiches with yesterday’s BBQ steak. Delish. I used that bread I got in Monson the other day. Very nice.
After dinner we played a few rounds of Bendominos. And a game of Scrabble, which I won on the last play. Yay team Bill!!
I actually had to make a couple work phone calls before bed and a few too many emails too. Gotta pay for vacay.
Tomorrow Emily is going to Augusta for something. Don’t know what. We have no plans. Yet.
Cool Shirt! 🙂
