A place holder for December |
This doggie is loved! |
Yup, she surely IS! |
This is just a cute kid seen in a parking lot. Ain't he cute? |
Lights in the streets of Damariscotta.....bokeh at it's best! |
Tiffany type shade at antique shop where we did some holiday shopping. |
A Christmas Reminder.... |
everyone should have one! |
More holiday fun...this kid was ringing bells in a store. He looks a bit like the other boy without the hat! |

Dec. 5: We get the season's... |
...first snowfall. |
Dec. 6: it's time to unload some equipment on eBay. |
And it's Pemaquid Day again.... |
So I find myself at... |
....Pemaquid Lighthouse with it's... |
....holiday decorations. |
Dec. 12: Outside King Eider in Damariscotta; coastal decorations! |
Dec. 15: Then at the Hariseeket in Freeport, their mascot plays! |
Drink up! |
While we eat, others swim and read! |
The place is decked out in holiday decor! |
Right down to the conference space. |
Then at Walmart...it's all glitz...made in America, yah right! |
recognizable faces and prices... |
Yes, they move the bargains into the aisles with prices conspicuously displayed! |
Bob the Builder (Oops! Handy Manny)sits at the head of a toy aisle...bring those kids in! |
A shopper agonizes over her choice. Don't worry, Lady! It's the thought that counts, so they say! |
And holiday underwear beckons. |
Outside it's the reason for the season...sort of! Maybe some live music will fill the pot, if anyone still has any change left? |
Dec. 16: Hannaford's provides... |
...opportunities to shoot creatures and flowers! |
Sept. 17: It's time for the family to check out the yard. |
Then we pick up Sally in Damariscotta where the sun... |
...is setting on a quiet river. |
From there we go to Bowdoin to hear George Lopez talk about the link between nature and music and... |
listen to him play Rachmaninoff and Gershwin! Wonderful! He remembers and plays 13 pieces from memory-NO music! |
Paisley is curious about the .... |
..tree. |
Ron cut it down the street on the right of way. |
Time to saw off about 2' of tree so it'll fit. |
The lumberjack extradinaire! |
...stands by his masterpiece! |
Then strings the lights... |
We'll save the rest for Lorelei. |
She comes Xmas Eve. |
The lights dance. |
It's cozy, though Paisley wouldn't agree. She wants OUT! |
Dec. 20: Finds us at ... |
Barnes and Noble downloading free books to... |
...Ron's Nook! |
And it's Tuesday, Dec. 21 ,so we once again are at |
the coast and... |
..a decorated Pemaquid Light. |
Dec. 24: It's WHITE! |
And decorated! |
Xmas Eve: |
"Can I open just one?" |
Deliver the goodies! |
Dec. 25: In the thick of it..opening gifts. |
The family together! |
"What IS IT, Dad?" |
Dad plays with the Barbie Fairy Doll. |
The Fairy doll is a real.. |
....hit! |
"Look, she has wings!" |
Then it's time to set up her house. |
This is the nicest house most of us will ever own! |
Multi-level vacation home! |
Ewwww! Impressive! |
And Daddy is a good guy...he'll even play... |
...dolls if a pretty girls asks nicely! |
"Yup, I'll play!" |
"Just watch me!" |
Then it's time to taste the gingerbread man! |
And candy |
canes.... |
When you haven't jumped rope in a long time, you've gotta try all your old tricks....like the rope cross trick! |
....and impress the crowd jumping rope! |
With Dad or without, I'm GOOD! |
