Mountain Sunset

Image
 With the forecast of rain through the night and all day tomorrow - we headed out after supper to catch the sunset.  Stunning with the mountains and lupine.                                                                                     Rangeley Lake                                                       Mooselookmeguntic Lake The forecast this morning - rain at 2pm.  So I hurried to hang laundry on the line and wash the boat while Paul cut the grass.  Of course we needed to visit the hardware store for a hose and nozzle first.  Under the two tarps the boat...

Gloaming

  Sunset on Rangeley Lake - always priceless.  A bit cooler this week than when we left just a few days ago.  Okay by me but I wish the flies and mosquitoes had vanished also. Fenway wound up taking the back seat and giving Maisie the front.  They are very good at ignoring each other while sharing space. While I washed and hung out laundry and cooked dinner, Paul worked on fixing the jacuzzi.  The thermostat became really wonky.  Chilly one night and then boiling the next.  What had been our setting for years was no longer good.  In fact no setting was good.  So a new thermostat was ordered and arrived while we were in RI.  The only problem - too big to fit the space allotted.  So Paul had to MacGyver the thing.  Old housing with new interior.  Presently the jacuzzi is being refilled so the success of the surgery is still unknown.                        ...

Lincoln Woods State Park

 Still warm with a nice breeze and less humidity today.  A great afternoon to meander through Lincoln Woods State Park.  It was a bit crowded but we managed to find an empty bench near the dock and enjoy the breeze (and the people watching!).  International Axe Throwing Day.  December 2022:                                                                      Kevin and Paul                                                                 Scott and Rebecca                               ...

Babysitting Blues

 Paul's eye appointment - good.  No lasting damage from the corneal abrasion.  Some quick shopping - garage door locks, kitchen faucet pieces.  And then we get this cutie! After dinner at The Beef Barn we treated her to ice cream - Cookie Monster flavor.                                     Despite a rough start (Brianna wanted a chocolate shake for                                       dinner and refused to order real food) we had a nice dinner.                                        She ate her hot dog with a side of bacon with enthusiasm.                        ...
