Today we went to breakfast at Dysarts. I had one egg and one pancake. That was plenty. I forgot to take pictures of the pancake but we agreed that they aren’t as big as they used to be. That was good for me or I would eat it all.
There are a lot of interesting things around the restaurant.
Afterwards, we checked out Stephen King’s house. Notice the bats and spider webs on the fence? And the wooden statue is quite interesting. It was created by chainsaw artist Josh Landry from a dead ash tree. It features owls, ravens, cats, frogs, mushrooms, climbing vines, a dragon, and a corgi.
My brother-in-law is a big collector. Here are a few of his cars.
We headed down to Ellsworth on a tour of Bruce and Michael’s ancestry. Our first stop was his maternal grandmother’s farm which had been in the family for over 150 years. Both brothers were sorry they didn’t buy it years ago.
Down the road away was a swimming hole where the boys would enjoy spending time during visits to the old farm.
We decided to visit their old camp, cottage to most people, on George’s Pond. It was sold several years ago but we sure miss our times there.
The walkway to the pond is overgrown. Apparently, the new owners don’t use it very much.
I looked in the window and the old GE refrigerator from 1953 was still there. Those old appliances keep on going!
We stopped by Fox Pond where I took a walk down to the water, enjoying the fragrant smell of pine.
We stopped at the Dunbar Store. No relation.
And our last stop was Ruth and Wimpy’s.
This was a cool little restaurant where I ate my second lobster.
And for dessert, I had a very berry cobbler and Bruce had a strawberry Rhubarb crisp! Yummy!
This was a really cute place with great prices and cool surroundings.
It was a fun-filled day eating our way Downeast!
