Today we had a leisurely start to our day heading to Dysarts for breakfast. I wasn’t very hungry so I had a toasted blueberry muffin. It was delicious. If you never had Maine blueberries, they are much smaller than high bush blueberries from other states. These little berries are packed with a powerful punch ofContinue reading “Our Last Day in Maine”

35 years ago today, my life changed. Everything I knew about myself and thought of myself was going to be challenged and ultimately changed. I would no longer be chained to feelings of low self-worth, shame, and guilt. So, to celebrate the day Bruce, Michael, and I drove down to Acadia National Park. I haveContinue reading “Down East”

The reunion was fantastic. There were lots of laughs and great food, and everybody started heading back home. Jay, Bethany, and the girls decided to stay, so we met up at Young’s Lobster Pound. The girls decided not to come so it was just us adults. We each enjoyed a 1-1/2 lb lobster and IContinue reading “A Trip To Belfast and The Long Way Back To Brewer”

Bruce is now the patriarch of the Dunbar family. Bruce’s children, Ryan, Colin, Bethany, and Alyse, along with their spouses, our grandkids, and furry family members gathered at the McWade Camp on Sheepscot Pond. Kristy, Michael’s daughter, her spouse, and two of their children also joined the festivities. We spent the day by the waterContinue reading “Dunbar Family Reunion”

Not to be confused with Palermo, Italy. Today was family day at the McWade Camp. The weather was perfect. Aggie, Sally, and Keever the dogs were frolicking in the water. All the kids seemed to take to the water and loved kayaking. I want to get one of those blow-up boards. The kids are growingContinue reading “Palermo, Maine”

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 interestingContinue reading “More about Maine”

The only airline I found with a nonstop flight to Bangor was Allegiant. It’s a no frills airline with tiny seats and not much legroom. If you are on the larger side these seats just won’t do. Michael picked us up at the airport, and we had lunch at Dysart’s. Dysart’s is at the truckContinue reading “A Trip To Maine”

What a way to spend Father’s Day. A day at the beach with our 16-year-old granddaughter Kadyn. The surfs up and Kadyn and PopPop went boogey boarding. I spent most of the time on the lounge chair! The surf was a little too rough for me. But Pop Pop joined me as we watched theContinue reading “Father’s Day”

I travel a lot – probably six months of the year give or take. But when I’m home, its like being on vacation. Today I’m sitting on Delray Beach. We have a senior parking permit that lets us park on A1A and the beach lots. For one year it costs $101.25. We also have anContinue reading “Home is A Vacation Place to Many Folks”

I have to say this is one of my favorite ports. It’s friendly and offers lots of different adventures. Previously we explored the island with a really nice taxi driver. Last time we snorkeled with turtles at the Turtle Sanctuary. This time we snorkeled from a dive shop a short walk from the port. ThereContinue reading “Fun in Grand Cayman”
