Maps no one needs.

You don’t need them, but they’re fun.

I can’t argue with ours.

L. L. Bean is life in Maine.

.

.

This is disturbing, but sadly…. not surprising.

.

.

Weirdest map topic, ever.

Patrick Dempsey is from Lewiston and comes back often. Every September he hosts and runs in the Dempsey Challenge, a charitable event where 100% of the funds raised provide personalized, holistic services at no cost to cancer patients, their loved ones, and care partners. 18 million dollars have been raised to date.

Apologies to women of the Southwest.

An experiment, a nice lunch and a few laughs.

We bought a new car last September. A fully loaded 2025 Subaru Forester Touring. I love Pearl… and with the current trade policies am extremely glad we didn’t wait to purchase her.

As an experiment, I checked the price before Trump implemented his moronic tariffs.

.

.

Two weeks after the tariffs took effect?

.

.

I’ll continue to check.

.

A few days ago we popped into the Foreside Tavern in Falmouth.

(Summer Dreaming cocktail. Vodka, elderflower, lemon and pineapple.)

.

.

Which used to be a Howard Johnson’s when I was young. I still miss their chicken croquettes…

.

.

But the tavern’s bbq chicken flatbread appetizer was tasty.

(Winter spiced margarita. Cinnamon Infused Tequila, Cranberry, Orange, Cointreau, Agave, Lime)

.

.

As was the ribeye steak spring salad with blue cheese, apples, red onions and candied pecans.

.

.

That’s me.

Highly flavorful.

.

.

Canadians.

Ya gotta love them.

Let’s play.

It won’t take long, I promise.

That’s an easy one.

I’d trade places with any cat who ever lived with us.

.

.

They’re loved.

(Frank)

.

.

Well fed.

(Mr. White)

.

.

Spoiled.

(Bubba)

.

.

And indulged.

(Cracker)

.

.

They also have two human servants who cater to their every whim.

(Lord Dudley Mountcatten)

So yes, I’ll say our cat.

❤️

How about you?

What animal would you trade lives with….

Finally.

Yes, hope springs eternal and I tried another Facebook recipe.

.

.

This time it was a shrimp and corn chowder.

.

.

Southwest style and even though it only had 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper …

.

.

It proved too spicy for my born and bred New England husband.

.

.

I had jumbo shrimp and chopped them to bite size.

.

.

It’s an easy recipe, and I quite liked it.

.

.

Though even with the dissolved gelatin, I thought it too thin to qualify as chowder.

.

.

If I make it again, which is unlikely because of the husband’s bland and boring taste buds, I’d add another thickening agent.

Sea glass, a new project and travel cheese.

I saw this the other day and had a flashback to my childhood in New Jersey.

.

.

The hand came to life and snatched the letters one by one into the bloody swamp.

Epic. And I was there for it every week.

.

.

For those of you, who like me… comb the beaches.

.

.

My husband has recently decided the wood has to leave the woodshed, the interior wall on the right separating the shed from a storage room needs to be removed and a floor needs to be laid.

I do not expect this project to go quickly or smoothly. Stay tuned.

.

.

Red door.

Since I plan on living more than 3 years. Duh.

.

.

If a cheese fortune teller is paid in cheese? I have the perfect scarf and earrings for the job, sign me up.

Foxy lady?

Temperatures are warming during the day, our grass is finally green and the fox are back.

.

.

I say foxy lady in the title, but to be honest I’m not sure.

.

.

Sexing a fox requires getting up close and personal… and that I can not do.

.

.

But I can watch from afar and take pictures.

.

.

With Lord Dudley Mountcatten on high alert beside me.

.

.

Because male or female, it’s still a canine… and His Lordship is not a fan.

😉
