Fireworks




I am finding it hard to believe that this coming weekend is 4th of July. There is a lot of local activity. In Bath they have Heritage Days that starts on July 2-5th. Bath has their Fireworks on the 5th. Freeport and Portland are having them on the 4th. On Bailey Island we have the Fireworks on the 5th of July at Cooks Lobster House. It is a great view from any deck at the Log Cabin.

A great day trip this weekend would be at the Owls Head Transportation Museum. It is just down the road from Rockland. On Sat and Sun they are having the Fabulous 50's, Sensational 60's Car meet Antique Airplane Show. They are having operational WW 1 planes flying each morning. There is also a kids area where kids drive mi nature versions of their favorite cars and planes around the coral area. The kids will also decorate their own bikes and have a parade each day. A live band will also play each day from 12:30-3.

Aimee and Matt's oldest son Danny is celebrating his 7th Birthday on Friday so a Big Happy Birthday to Danny. Our Crop Share at the Farm is so much fun, the bonus item this week was fresh snow peas ( that Sue had to actually pick), and a kohlrabi was added to all our other greens. I made a yummy Lobster Newburg and made a Cashew, Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream. A Big Thank You to Curt and Cathleen for bringing the ingredients. Thank You Doreen for our Chocolate, Peanut Butter Bon Bons.

Don't forget you can go to the Kayaking School at the bridge or bring your own and launch them in several different places. Which brings me to my photo above of our regular Room Guests Penny and Richard enjoying a cruise right by Sue's house.

Last weeks Blog I actually had to go back and change the answers before I posted it because at the last minute I remembered that the Driftwood Inn serves to the public as well as the General Store, Giant Staircase and Cooks. So only 40% of the people guessed 4 places.

Hope everyone has a great Holiday Weekend, escape some humidity and come to Maine.
