 Michaele and Liz hold back and come in August this year! |
 We're all surprised at the size of the lobster roll at Marriner's in Camden! |
 Yummmmm!!! |
 Then it's time for the Smiling Cow and ... |
 shopping for a purse, but... |
 ...to this shopper, a book looks FAR more interesting! |
 Big yachts are in the harbor. |
 ...on this lovely day! |
 Then it's on to the blueberry farm where... |
 ...we pick up our yearly supply and... |
 Liz and Michaele talk to Basil. |
 Aren't they pretty? |
 ...and yummy too! |
 We stop in Stockton Springs at a garden statuary store. |
 This is Liz's favorite, but she can't fit it into her suitcase for the return trip! |
 Pemaquid Poets meet for Bristol Days... |
 ...and it's time to catch up. |
 reVerse performs and they are... |
 Wonderful! |

 who performs their first piece to an enthralled crowd! |
 |
 Take a bow, Poets! |
 Susan and her family announce a performance tomorrow. |
 And the evening comes to a close! |
 As the week goes on, we go to the Tugboat for lunch, |
 stop to shop for jackets, |
 and find them too! |
 End of the week we find ourselves in Camden again---this time at a bakery. |
 Then we eat our 'loot' on the wharf as the... |
 ...world goes by! |
 Lunch at Pemaquid |

 Early in the week we end up at Pemaquid... |
 ....one of our favorite places! |
 Obviously other people love it as well. |
 The skies are gorgeous! |
 And the fence is always fascinating! |
 At the antique shop, there are all kinds of interesting textures and... |
 ....faces! |
 Lunch again at marriner's, but this time we eat outside. |
 Leaving we find someone napping. |
 This giant bunny is in a pet shop window. |
 Then Thursday night we attend a haunted history session in Boothbay Harbor. |
 The lady in the red cloak has many stories to share.... |
 ...about the history of the area spiced with many ghost stories. |
 Friday and it's time to pack. |
 Then Friday AM, it's time to go home! We'll miss you! |
 Midmonth Clay comes to help powerwash the house and deck! |
 Good thing there's water cause it's hot outside! Thank you, Clay! |
 It's the Coop for a sandwich the next evening! |
 And someone is ful of silliness. |
 Next weekend we head out for Winter's Gone Farm |
 to take Teddy to the bear hospital... |
 ..and visit the babies! |
 Yup, there are baby alpacas this time of year! |
 On the way home we stop for lunch where there's a potter.... |
 with dirty hands making pots! |
 What fun to watch! |
 We only wish we could get our hands dirty too! |
 But keep a safe distance where we can see everything. |
 It's so hot and humid that... |
 . ...a frolick with the hose seems... |
 ....in order and .... |
 lots of .... |
 ....FUN! |
 Watch out! Don't get it in your face! |
 And don't miss a chance to spray some.... |
 ....yourself! |

 ...shops...even... |
 ..tourist traps! |
 |
 It's a summer kind of place. |
 Brothers pose |
 Frances comes out with her purchase. |
 Then we check out the penny candy. |
 We know there is no longer any such thing, but this looks almost like candy! |
 Then it's time to walk back to the parking lot where ... |
