 Seems like an appropriate placeholder for December! |
 On the road again.... |
 ...going into Bath in the early morning. |
 Only in Maine! |

 Hardly looks like a toddler! Grow them up as fast as possible these days, don't we? |
 "Snow White shows Poppa her costume.... |

 And Fairy Princesses must try out their wings flying around the kitchen! |
 Then it's off to the Festival of Lights where we get one of the last rides from Pat and Mike! |
 And Santa and Mrs. Claus light the Christmas tree in front of the library. |
 It's so cold that they sing carols IN the library and.... |
 ....serve cookies. |
 After it's all over, the whole town is lighted up including... |
 .....the Smiling Cow and .... |
 ....the Novelty! |
 December 2: And it's time to play....with animal friends and.... |
 ....to dress up again! |
 These shoes are a favorite, but.... |
 ....one can fall OFF them, if not careful! |
 Little Princess with her wand and... |
 ....hat! |
 More of same... |
 Sometimes snazzy shoes accentuate our youth! |
 Dec. 4: Our visitor returns to retrieve.... |
 ...pretzels Ron threw out there for the birds yesterday. |
 Black and white version...isn't he beautiful? He? She? |
 Good-bye, Fox! |
 December 5: Surgery day--view from hospital window... |
 you won't get views like this at too many hospitals!! |
 Nothing like a waterfront seat when having... |
 ...arthoscopic knee surgery, but it surely... |
 ...makes for a more pleasant experience! |
 December 7: Baby! It's cold outside and... |
 ....the sea smoke is.... |
 ....flying over Boothbay Harbor. |
 December 15: We meet Marta and Lorelei at the Little Dog Cafe where the windows are cold and wet while... |
 ...it's a glorious day outside! |
 The sun is bright though it's very cold! |

 Even the dogs get into the act. |

 Great BIG apples! (Almost as big as this little girl) |
 And BIG cookies! |
 Dec. 26: We meet Clay, Marta and Lorelei in Brunswick for... |
 |
 Indian lunch and... |
 ...some time to take photos.... |
 .....Clay looks tired! |
 He and Lorelei share a dessert, then... |
 ...we head out to the public mall for skating. |
 Marta tries her old skating legs before.... |
 ...taking.... |
 .....Lorelei for a spin.... |
 ...and meeting Clay for a bit of skating... |
 ....together! |
 Hold on, little girl! |
 Lorelei does amazingly well w/ Mom.... |
 ....and Dad's.... |
 ....help. |

 Then it's time to take the skates off. |
 and get ready to go home. |
 Dec. 30: Self-Portrait with Christmas Camera... |
 Zoned out over TV |
