Day 6 – At 7 a.m. it was 61 degrees and foggy. The fog had rolled back out to sea by 8:30; it’s going to be a beautiful day. It rained some last night, less humidity today – and sunny.

ONWARD TO BELFAST.
Day 5 – It rained most of the night. At 7 a.m. it was 66 degrees, cloudy & humid. It’s a travel day, but we don’t have far to go, from Freeport to Belfast. Check-in at our next campground isn’t until after 1 p.m., so we have plenty of time to relax & hang around here. The cows were put out to pasture early this morning, and we’re watching them from the front windshield; they’re a bit frisky. The cats are not impressed.

Day 4 – It was 56 degrees & overcast this morning at 6:30 a.m. We’d cancelled the appointment with Lindal Cedar Homes this morning, knowing we wouldn’t be able to afford them, and therefore had a relaxing time in the RV. Later in the morning we drove around the residential areas of Freeport looking at the homes, their various styles, window placement, and the colors of the houses & trims. Anything we liked & wanted to remember, we photographed for later reference. We had lunch in the car with take-out from Cindy’s Lobster Pound in South Freeport. Very good lobster rolls, extremely fresh & tender lobster. Got gas in the Honda, then more house-looking and then back to the RV as it started to rain.

MOO.
Day 3 – We were up at 6 a.m. this morning; 51 degrees & cloudy. Today we traveled to Freeport, Maine. We had a relaxing morning, since our check-in time at the next campground wasn’t until 1 p.m. We went to the local Post Office in Bernardston to mail another bill; we had a survey done at the house in NY in order to get a variance for a deck to be built off our bedroom. We had been notified that the final payment was due on the work. Then we packed up, shuffled the girls (without a single complaint) into the bedroom for travel, and departed Traveler’s Woods Campground at 9:50 a.m.

Tues., 11/5, Day 193: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TED C. SEE YOU & CAROL SOON & WE’LL TOAST TO YOU THEN! The weather was bad today with the winds & rain. We didn’t go out but got things done indoors. Making plans to leave soon – it looks from the weather forecasts that snow & very cold temperatures will arrive next week. Rob looked into airline tickets for California so he can see his mom. And since he was feeling better, he changed the oil & filter for the RV and fixed the macerator pump connections due to overheating. I worked on getting the budget & expenditures ready for spreadsheet entry. We need to get a handle on our Canadian expenses after dealing with the monetary conversions, to see if a trip south might be feasible this winter. Meanwhile, it was election day! Did you vote?

Fri., 11/1, Day 189: My goodness. It is November already! The recent days, beginning with today, have been somewhat a blur for me. I came down with a cold, not a big deal, but once these things go into my head, I don’t know what’s going on. The lack of energy dropped my activity level from quite low to zero. It was rainy & quite windy all day; a couple of times the power flickered on & off but luckily it did not stay off. The lows & highs were in the mid-40’s to mid-50’s.

Mon., 10/28, Day 185: The fires are raging again in California. GOOD LUCK, ANN, and to everyone else who may be effected! We went to dinner at Frank’s Dockside in Lubec with our friends, Michael & Suzanne. They are leaving soon for the season. It was great seeing you both again & SAFE TRIP!

Fri., 10/25, Day 182: Today was cloudy all day but without wind for a change which made the 54-degree high seem warm. I stayed inside off my feet most of the day – not a good day for my knee. Rob worked on his new pathway to get closer to the water during the morning. He moved 20 wheelbarrow loads down the hill to build up the new trail. After lunch in the RV, we both napped – a couple of old folk, hee hee – and then we went out to the tent for the rest of the afternoon. Nothing else new to report. It is supposed to rain tonight, then be nice tomorrow, although the temperatures may be getting colder afterwards.

Mon., 10/21, Day 178: A beautiful day today, it was 39 degrees when we got up & the high actually reached 61 degrees, sunny with low wind. We went out to dinner last night with our friends, Michael & Suzanne. We went to Frank’s Dockside in Lubec. It was really nice to eat something other than our own cooking for a change. Great food & great company, thanks Michael &Suzanne! Today with the nice weather, we took a leisurely drive to Eastport for our yearly trip to stock up on Raye’s Mustard. Eastport is fairly close to Lubec, the town closest to us – it is just across the Bay. But it takes about an hour to get to Eastport by road. The drive was nice, though. We took side roads & enjoyed some fall foliage. We also did other shopping in Eastport & had lunch at the Waco Diner. It was the only place open this time of year on a Monday; the food was very good. When we returned home in the afternoon, we went out to the screened tent. Very nice! The cats are relaxing & enjoying it here – we got a few pictures of them basking in the sun.

Thurs., 10/17, Day 174: It rained & was windy beginning after midnight with the rain & wind becoming heaviest around 9 a.m. We lost power about that time. The wind & rain decreased during the day. As of 6:30 p.m. tonight, we are still without power as are many people in Maine. The latest word from the power company is that they will be working through the weekend to restore power continuing with the most populated areas first. Makes sense. We are in a low-population area. It’s okay though because we have propane & a generator as back-up. This morning when we got up it was 52 degrees & the temperature really didn’t change during the day. At least it’s not really cold!
