Oquossoc Day

A bright but chilly start to the day.  

                                    All but the last (and most challenging) roof panel is in place.

Oquossoc Day took place today.  Soooo many people.  

    


                                    Lots of the usual vendors and one very odd table of antiques.

    

                                            Even a boat parade.


And The Gingerbread House.  Originally sold penny candy and tchotchke, then an on again off again restaurant and now an annex to the Trading Post in Rangeley.  
    
                                   The "dining room" is now full of clothing racks and souvenirs.



                                        In 2017 we visited the restaurant by snowmobile.

                                                        
                                                                    Maddy and Scott

                                                                                Scott

                                                                    Maddy

                                                                            Kevin

                             The sliding glass doors allowed us to watch the deer eat their lunch.

                                 Megan and Bri watching the deer while waiting for lunch 2023.

Word of the day - tchotchke.  Meaning a small object displayed for its attractiveness or interest.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.
