Today’s reward for working my butt off all morning on the quilt was a walk around Mackworth Island. I managed to reverse my all low tide all the time trend for this year, and arrived at high tide (and a high high tide at that). I’ve decided I actually like the island better at high […]

I was in South Portland yesterday for a haircut, so decided to head over to Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth when I was done, since I haven’t been there in ages. Fort Williams is on Shore Road in Cape E. If you’re not from the area, I will only add that Cape E is one

We spent the morning at Kettle Cove, which is the free side of Crescent Beach State Park. It’s not quite as beachy, especially today, as we arrived at the highest point of an usually high tide. It was also strangely quiet for a holiday weekend. We had our pick of parking, and were able to

We spent yesterday tooling around York County, something we used to do with a little more frequency in the summer before gas prices went through the roof. It was definitely nice being on the road and seeing what was open/closed/changed since the last time we went through. We stopped at a couple of used book

Today is my aunt and uncle’s 40th wedding anniversary, so we headed up to Stockton Springs for a celebration of that yesterday. We had a great luncheon, with a decent chunk of my mother’s extended family. There was good food, and tons of little cousins running around causing much noise and fun. Hands down cutest

First, a quick note about vacation day 4. I spent the morning doing chores before meeting up with T so that we could take a stroll around the Old Port. Naturally, yesterday was the first day it rained this week, so we didn’t do quite as much strolling as we would have liked. However, we
For today’s entertainment, I stopped by the Tate House, which is in the Stroudwater neighborhood here in Portland. Oddly enough, it’s the only one of the open historic houses in Portland that I have not been dragged to sometime during my school career. The house was built in the 18th century for George Tate, who
As a celebration of my first day of vacation freedom, I headed over to Falmouth for a walk around Mackworth Island. I was almost foiled by the dang truck attending to the portapotties, which was taking up half the already tiny parking lot, but I managed to get in. It actually wasn’t that great a

Hamilton House is a really neat 18th century house on a bluff overlooking the Salmon River in southern Maine. I’ve unfortunately never managed to hit in when I could go inside the house, but the gardens are so lovely I haven’t really minded. Monday was particularly lovely because we had the place entirely to ourselves.
