Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Oquossoc
 
 
Our adventure for the day - take the bikes to Oquossoc and ride around the area.  The forecast changed considerably and despite some clouds, no rain was predicted.  Temps in the low 70s and clouds - perfect for riding.

                                                    Traffic at 8am on Route 4

                                       The new bike rack was super easy to attach to the car and
                                        lifting the bikes on took only minutes.

Taking pictures while riding - not as easy as I remember.  Of course when we began riding on the dirt roads, I put the phone away and focused on staying upright and moving.  Looking at the photos everything appears to be flat.  It was not!



                                    (Dirt road - I stopped to take this photo.)


The hills, both up and down, showed up on my fitness tracker.
             Not much of our ride was flat.



We completed 10 miles in a little over an hour with stops at the lake, BMC Camps (thinking they were open for breakfast - not), and the marina.  Riding in Maine is definitely more of a workout than Florida!

Word of the day - anecdote.  Meaning a short narrative about an interesting, funny or biographical incident.

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.
