 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! |
