|
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. |
