Pugs for the win.

Having driven by this tiny brewery multiple times, the husband and I decided to drop in and try it the other day.

.

.

It’s small, and colorful.

.

.

Even their creative tasty beer is color coded…

.

.

To the colorful flight tray.

.

.

We spent a pleasant 2 hours sampling, drinking and chatting with the owners, a very nice young couple… who happen to live in our town.

They’re beer lovers and dog lovers.

Unfortunately the brewery’s mascot wasn’t there that day.

.

.

But his picture was.

.

.

And I came home with some fun pug inspired swag.

And to think it only took 67 days.

Sixty seven days ago my husband put in our new front door.

.

.

And for sixty seven days I’ve been (none too patiently) waiting for him to finish the job by trimming it with interior moulding.

.

.

Finally!

.

.

It will be nice not to see insulation and ragged edges again.

As usual I assumed the role of quality control and rendered some things unacceptable.

.

.

And though there was a fair amount of grumbling from the installer, it all worked out in the end.

.

.

If sixty six days late.

.

.

Disclaimer – no cats were disturbed during the installation process.

I live for this level of ridiculousness.

.

.

Politicians have been doing it for decades, I don’t see why amphibians can’t.

.

.

Casio can suck it.

Lord Dudley concurs.

.

.

And I thought the giant baby we elected was bad…

Yikes.

.

.

I would not.

They’re way too cute.

.

.

Well, there goes my plan to survive the next four years.

.

.

And people think I’m nuts for putting a harness on our cat.

Geesh.

Dead or alive ?

I was walking down the personal care aisle at Market Basket the other day looking for bar soap.

Scanning the shelves, my eye caught this –

.

.

Oddly enough I read this as dead sea mud.

As in the sea mud was dead… versus alive.

For a split second I thought, how strange. Why would I want to bathe in anything dead?

🤣

Nubble, not nibble.

Leaving York Beach the other day, we headed north along the coastal route.

.

.

Past the park…

.

.

And down to Cape Neddick….

.

.

Home to the (famous in these parts) Nubble Light.

.

.

Built in 1878 at the cost of $15,000, Nubble is still in use today and contains its original Fresnel lens.

Fun fact?

Nubble Light is a famous American icon and a classic example of a lighthouse. An image of the lighthouse is included on the Voyager Golden Record carried by the Voyager spacecraft as one of Earth’s most prominent man-made structures or natural features, alongside features such as the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal, to be viewed should it fall into the hands of intelligent extraterrestrials.

And though my picture looks like you could just walk right up and explore, the lighthouse actually sits on an island and is inaccessible to the public.

No matter, the scenery is pretty sweet from this side as well.
