|
 Sept. 1: We take a ride in the Boston Whaler |
 It's a good, clean boat... |
 ...or so it seems. |
 And as we wait, a cruise ship docks to get away from... |
 ...the coming weather...Earl approaches! |
 It's amazing to watch a pilot maneuver one of these 'monsters!' |
 The Bay Lady plies the harbor! |
 Sept. 4: We ride the Boothbay Hbr Trolley |
 Finding a good spot to sit! |
 Fun, Fun, Fun!! |
 Then eat lunch at Boothbay's fast food establishment, Dunton's Doghouse! |
 Toasted cheese is always a good choice! |
 Next door there's a crock to explore with... |
 ...a fellow curiosity-seeker! |
 Harbor from the trolley |
 Time to watch Cartoon Network... |
 Later, it's time to snuggle... |
 ....with Mom! |
 Marta is in studying mode. |
 the end...for now..... |
 Aug. 7: We have Lorelei for the afternoon and at the Portland Museum of Art... |
 she... |
 ....flirts with her grandDad. |
 Good practice with a safe man! |
 At McClellon House she looks so small. |
 Stereoscope shows the toys of the 19th Century. |
 Look in this antique Mirror," Says Granddad. |
 |
 Small again! |
 Then it's dress-up time at the Childrens' Museum. |
 But driving the firetruck is... |
 ...her favorite... |
 there! Turn on the siren and slide... |
 ...down the pole! |
 Then visit the turtles and.... |
 ...the bees. |
 And small again! |
 Bus she's an actress extraordinaire! |
 One of the Three Little Pigs who says her lines, "Not by the hair on my chinny, chin, chin," Very welll! |
 She loves applause! |
 Then it's time to pick.... |
 a snack... |
 ...eat and drink and... |
 ...pretend to make snacks! |
 Time to leave after one more pass... |
 ....through favorite exhibits! |
 A vet's office, |
 where the dog is washed... |
 ...then it's outside past a culturally diverse kiddikin. |
 Papa stops at the Pirate Ship... |
 ...Lorelei stops to make some music and... |
 ...to milk the cow, then.... |
 ....it's time to meet Mom at Flatbread, but first... |
 ....some end of day coloring! |
 Sept. 11: Historic day and Fall begins here. |
 This guy was in our car/DEAD! |
 "Can you count to 100, Grammie?" |
 We just count rope swings...never mind the misses....one hundred!! |
 In Fall a girl's thoughts turn to being beautiful!! |
 Aren't BLUE nails beautiful?!! |
 Studying and.... |
 ...something looks puzzling....must be math! |
 Foxy Wile checks out the scene! |
 Her jovial self! |
 Sept. 17: Lorelei picks out a pumpkin at Biscay Farms. |
 Stained glass horse in B'Bay Harbor Store. |
 Sept. 23: Fun at the bookstore |
 Then it's time to walk across the street and get a drink at the soda fountain! Ah! The joys of small town New England! |
 Time to check out..... |
 ...Old Fashioned Goodies |
 A metaphor for the time! Recession-proof America! |
 What fun! A twirly stool... |
 ....at the soda fountain! |
 Sept. 23: Grammie and Papa at Waltz Pharmacy soda fountain. |
 Sept. 24: Throw that dog toy! Come get it, Pesky! |
 Here they come! |
 What FUN! |
 Signs of Fall.... |
 ....more.... |
 Sept. 25: We meet the Clarke's at Brown's. |
 These are 'kids' who grew up with Ron, Rich and Jeanne! |
 And Edie comes along (Jan's good friend)! |
 It's a group pic...with one member cut off. |
 But here they are...sort of. |
 It's a quiet break in the activities. |
 Time to sit and chat. |
 |
 And Rich and Frances stop by. |
 Then it's lunch time at the Lobsterman's wharf. |
 Everyone's hungry and social! |
 Tom and Jan...brother and.... |
 ....sister. |
 Edie. |

 Then Rich and Frances take off for MA and we head out to.... |
 ....Pemaquid Light... |
 Tom's a lighthouse 'hunter.' |
 He has a 'passport' full of lighthouse visits! |
 Time to visit the museum. |
 ...to take a look at a lens and... |
 ....fishing nets... |
 This guy is 75 to 80 years old & 24 pounds...I should say, 'WAS.' |
 The surf is rough outside. |
 ....and gulls take refuge on the rocks. |
 Tom climbs the light. |
 And gets shots from above, while... |
 ....Edie shoots from below. |
 Then we stop at a local gift shop cooperative. |
