We walked down to Lee and Sue Whitely's this morning and they gave us a little tour of the work they have been doing on the house and their cottages. The girls then headed off to St. Andrews, Canada to do some shopping and I did some more stream fishing while Steve attended a short meeting.
Trip Log
July 22, 2012
Steve guided again today, Alesa and Laura decorated and I watched the British open while preparing an operating system backup just in case of a hard drive failure. Steve finished early so we did a little fishing on Big Lake.
July 21, 2012
Steve was guiding today so I bought a 15 day Maine fishing license and spent the morning fishing on the stream. Alesa and Laura went shopping in Eastport and Calais. This afternoon I went shooting and driving backwoods trails. The weather has been beautiful.
July 20, 2012
Today was our first full day in Grand Lake Stream, ME. Alesa helped Laura plant the flowers we brought from our house and I helped Steve patch his raft which was torn during a ride down the stream.
July 19, 2012
Thursday morning we left Salem and drove through Manchester and Concord to Lincoln and drove across the Kancamagus trail, a beautiful scenic byway through the White Mountains. We arrived at Steve and Laura's at about 6:30.
July 18, 2012
We left home Wednesday morning on our way to Maine. We arrived in Salem, NH at about 1:30 in the afternoon and went to America's Stonehenge after a large thunderstorm. It was very interesting but led to a lot of "now they're just making stuff up".
July 14, 2012
We continue to get quotes for ceiling and floor work in the game room. One more due in and we can decide a course of action. Been busy stipping paint off the garage door with a heat gun. I prefer a solid wood door rather than the hollow metal, rumbly ones they sell now.
July 9, 2012
We have been searching all over for root beer extract to make some home made root beer like we did when we were younger. We haven't had any luck so today we headed out to Lancaster to try the Amish markets there.
July 5, 2012
We picked up Bailey and Bridget on Monday morning for a couple of days and took them sailing on Monday AM. It was a little too gusty and I was a little rusty so we sailed a few quick laps around the lake, ate lunch and waded a little.
June 28, 2012
Tuesday we all took the train into Philadelphia for a day of touring. We had planned to visit some museums but didn't have time.
