Our Renewal of Vows Ceremony last Sunday for Marcia and Dave was fantastic. Despite the rain they had lots of family, friends from out of State, and present and past room guests. I was so pleased to share in their joy. They were also one of the first people of the season to get "flocked" by those pesky Flamingo's.
This Sunday at Library Hall will be a Fundraiser, Silent Auction and Spaghetti Dinner for a long time Island Resident, Leo Coombs and his family. Leo has been battling Cancer for years. He was raised on the Islands and his family has lived and done business here for generations. Sue was generous enough to donate the ingredients for the sauce as you see the girls making in the kitchen. There will also be a Silent Auction with so many items including a night stay at the Log Cabin. There is going to be Live Music and activities for the kids. It is amazing what the Town can do when we pull together to help our own.
Next Saturday, the 24th is the Harpswell Festival at Mitchell Field. This is a show not to miss. Lots of food, crafts, a parade, dancing, kids section all topped off with a band called Motor Booty that is just my Favorite of all times. I wanted them to play at my Wedding. Come 9pm the Fireworks will be going off just like 4th of July. That is not the end of it, on Sunday there will be another Shindig accompanied by the famous Lobster Boat Races. To let you in on a little secret we had a cancellation in the Mt. Washington Room for the weekend so that is available with its brand new King Size Bed.
I just spent 2 1/2 hrs unpacking our shipment of new mugs, 300 mugs with some brand new colors. While I was doing that I had some Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream going in the mixer and then made Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, Yum.
The weather has been fabulous and great for swimmimg in the pool, 88 deg but don't tell Matt, he will turn it down.
Stay Cool... Alicia
