This morning, Alesa and Laura drove to Eastport for lobster and clams and to buy a case of Raye's mustard. Elyse, Annika and I went into the Maine woods to shoot my pistol and on the way back we picked blackberries by the side of the road.

Monday, Steve and I went out on his "Grand Laker" to Third Machias Lake and fished for white perch. We were interrupted by some bass and pickerel but still caught quite a few perch. While we were cleaning them, Mike and family arrived.

Today is our first full day in Maine. Alesa and Laura hiked while Steve and I fished on West Grand Lake. It was cool and rainy but a comfortable day after all of the Florida heat. I caught a few bass while Steve caught some bass and a large togue (lake trout).

We had another great few days with Craig and Janet when they stopped on their way back home from Ripley. We played pickleball, platform tennis and swam to relieve the heat and wore each other out. They even took a paddle lesson with us.

Getting ready to head north. Can't wait! Had our home inspection today to make sure we take full advantage of our warranty. No problems, just cosmetic stuff. Now we have to coordinate the work. Played 18 at Mallory Hill Country Club yesterday, we prefer to pay 9 in this heat.
