Touches of Maine

Hi, All --

It's cold and rainy today, a perfect day for catching up on emails, reading a good book, and sending out another blog. Yesterday was nice, a fair amount of sun and briskish winds. We met for lunch with my past photo teacher and mentor, Lydia Goetz, who lives in Southwest Harbor. This is the third year in a row we've been able to have lunch with Lydia, always a good experience. This time we missed her partner, George De Wolfe, also an excellent photographer. I've taken a couple of classes from him too.

Their little village of Southwest Harbor is surrounded by Acadia Nat'l Park as is Northeast Harbor which we visited later. The Park is interspersed throughout with private land. The Park's history, which is quite interesting, explains how all this came about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia_National_Park

We had a wonderful dinner Sunday night, our anniversary. And lobster again for lunch yesterday. Unfortunately, the abundance of lobster this year isn't showing up in the prices in restaurants and lobster roll stands. One needs to buy them live and cook them at home. Uggg.

Anyway, Bob and I are getting all fattened up on lobster, popovers, blueberry pie, etc., etc. to face the hard winter ahead in Florida.

Take care, Paula
