Sue thinks I exaggerate with her Love for plants. As you can see her plants have taken over the entire dish area,where we unload our heavy trays from the Dining Room. From Landscape Fabric to bulbs and plants that are just waiting for her lovely green thumb. I guess there could be worse things to be addicted to then flowers.
There is a Visitors Center that has just opened at the New Train Depot on Maine Street, Brunswick. It is so nice to have the depot there with the Bowdoin College Book Store and Gift Shop along with 2 Restaurants. I just found a new website www.mainethingstodo.com it is 101 Things to do in Vacationland. Even our regular guests could probably find a few things they have not done yet and it is family friendly as well.
One of the local golf courses "Mere Creek" was scheduled to close this season as it is located on the Brunswick Navy Base which is being disarmed. A group has gotten together and has saved it for this year at least. One could also golf locally in Brunswick,Topsham, Bath and Freeport.
The Maine Turnpike Authority has reported that traveling was up 5% over last Memorial Day Weekend. They should start checking the docks. There are over 70 Cruise Ships due to dock in Portland this Summer and Fall, the most ever.
If you are lucky enough to be in Harpswell this weekend you could take part in the Harpswell Hiking Challenge. This self guided challenge has participants hiking all 6.5 miles of trails. The Town includes 15 public access properties with walking trails, all with a portion along the waterfront. They range from the wheel chair accessible loop at Mitchell Field to the challenging Cliff Trail. Check it out at www.harpswell.maine.gov
It looks like Sue does not know how to access the Viewers Poll or to give you the answers. Most of the time Matt keeps the pool temp at 82 deg, last week when we had our 91 deg day it was 88 deg. Sometimes we sneak in and raise the temp on him. The most amount of people ever answered my poll and 42% got it right.
Above is my Special for tonight, Lemon and Lobster Linguini with Feta, the guests said it was Delicious and I agree as I saved some for Sue and I.
Have a great first week in June...
