Humor, high temps and helping hands.

A funny.

George and Billy.

I love them both.

Yes, that’s a Maine temperature reading on our deck. The mandevilla love it, but I certainly don’t.

What I did love was my husband, immediately pulling over to the side of the road to help this young man who was delivering heavy metal sheets of roofing to a job site. The poor kid turned a corner and out they flew, onto the road with cars flying by and going out of their way to avoid him. The panels were heavy and he couldn’t lift them by himself…

And I swear he’d still be there if my husband hadn’t stopped.

Most people suck.

I married a good one.

Rewarding my husband’s good deed, we had lunch at one of his favorite spots. My first cocktail?

A watermelon cucumber cooler – cucumber infused gin, watermelon juice, lemon juice, salted basil simple syrup topped with sparkling water.

Perfect for summer and absolutely delicious.

.

Cocktail number two?

A guava daiquiri – rum, guava puree & lime juice.

Tasty, but a little too sweet.

.

Fried haddock bites for me.

Lobster bisque, not pictured, and a lovely strawberry and basil with chicken salad for him.

Royal River Grill never disappoints.

Cat humor.

Funny.

And very true..

I have the puncture wounds to prove it.

Remember the tree house our neighbors built?

The one right at the edge of their property line… even though they own 20 acres down to the water?

The one I was glad was nestled behind a few trees with leafy camouflage?

Well, there’s my husband cutting down each and every single branch that provided relief from prying little eyes.
