Bailey & Sophie Posted June 7, 2021 #18651 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Friday and Saturday saw 98 and 99 degree weather. I didn't venture out. John worked both days. His shop is not air conditioned. Today was 93. Went for a picnic and short drive. Too hot to put the top down on the car. But GOOD NEWS! And some bad news. After 1 1/2 years we were finally able to visit my mom in memory care at the VA. She has 4 nice windows overlooking the courtyard and the Mississippi River. We decorated the windows with lots of 4th of July decorations. Turned out cute. Her birthday is Tuesday so we took lots of balloons. Bad news...after being away for so long we're not sure she knew who we were. It's so sad. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted June 7, 2021 #18653 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It is almost mid day and it is 66°F and cloudy with rain expected soon. Pauline has today off work. We went food shopping this morning and currently Pauline is putting flowers on her grandparents and baby brothers grave. From here we are going to a garden centre then to our local beach to eat our picnic. I hope everyone is having a nice day. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me...yes...but Laurie has never been to Maine, and has never had fresh Lobster with Claws! (She is used to "warm water tail" from the southern climes). Claw meat is the best! In a perfect world, I would have Lobster rolls with Claw meat only. 😉 😋 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There MUST be some where that I can wash my hands immediately after finishing or I won't even start. I also need to brush my teeth as soon after as possible. That is another reason why I always pack dental floss in my purse. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time we came to Orlando on 6th October 1992 our plane landed at Bangor Maine to refuel. There was snow at the sides of the runway.

We have another week here at the house we are currently renting...then we move on to the next one for two weeks, which is literally right over the rocks on an inlet north of Bar Harbor. Tiny little typical Maine summer cottage, probably 50 years old. Will be a total difference from this brand new modern large home! 😮 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She rides to the appointment in a mini crate and rides home sitting on the passenger seat. She loves rides in the truck. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, poor birds will miss us, but new location birds will be thrilled!. But at least we are giving them full and much needed bellies after their long migration trip up here. Little Hummingbirds are soooo skinny! My sugar water is starting to fatten them up. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted June 7, 2021 #18675 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hiked nature preserve near Deer Island yesterday. Was nice hike, and enjoyed exploring the shoreline when we got out there. Mosquitos through the woods were a little too hungry though! Forgot my bug spray, and need to wear long sleeves! 😮 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
