Cupsuptic Lake

Image
 Our adventure today - kayaking Cupsuptic Lake.  We have done this excursion many times over the years and though I knew we used the dock in Cupsuptic Lake, I always thought we were on a river.  Apparently not.  But our path does take us to the mouth of the Cupsuptic River.  We always try to head upstream or against the wind when starting our journey and use the current and wind to return us.  Today we lucked out with both wind and current - the ride back was fast and the only paddling we had to do was to steer.  An absolutely gorgeous trip!  Lots of wildlife and most I caught on camera except the beautiful blue heron that flew directly over us.     This loon was not shy at all - he was only a few feet from me!                                                       Lots of Canadian...

Mountain Day

Image
 Mountain Day.  And what mountains we are enjoying!  The sunset on the way back from town tonight was captivating.  We have found the best time to visit IGA - just before they close.  And we found out (from Dorothy our neighbor) that on Tuesdays seniors get a discount!  I'll take it!  Today Paul installed the hangers for the rafters along both the garage wall and the far beam - 46 in total. Then after cutting the correct angle, each beam was lifted into place and nailed securely.                                                    The last five (of 23) rafters will be hung tomorrow.                                                       Somehow I mis...

 National Lazy Day.  We opted not to participate due to the fact we took the weekend off and the carport awaits.  But to recognize the holiday, I found some lazy kids!                                             Paul, Megan and Papa in 1998.  Trying to get to sleep either                                               at nap time or bedtime - not always easy!  Here even Papa tried to help!                                                  Peter and Megan in 1998 at nap time!                     ...

Nurture

Image
 Word of the day - nurture. Meaning to help someone grow, develop or succeed.   Look how beautiful my granddaughter is as Megan nurtures her growth! Today included a very early trip to Farmington.  Lots of rain and no traffic at 7:30am!  Walmart was pretty good.  Super helpful employees, almost no other people and we were out in 30 minutes.  Tractor supply was empty until we were in the check out line.  Where did all these people come from?  But we found everything we needed before heading back to Rangeley. A lazy afternoon with a nap, movie and sketching before heading to Don and Kim's for dinner and cards.  Thank you for yummy fish and card games where the girls ruled! National Garage Sale Day.                                       Grandma Scott at a yard sale on Diamond Hill Road (early 1970s?) Through the years we h...
