Today was a “house-cleaning” day, which meant vacuuming, washing clothes, and all that other stuff that goes along with getting your “quarters” ship-shape…
Of course, we managed to get ourselves down to Biddeford and the “Cole Road Café” for our agreed breakfast meeting with Chris and Katie…
Had a great breakfast, and a wonderful time, touching base with this young and vibrant couple from our neck of the woods…
Chris is working for Boeing on-line… How cool is that? He explained his job, but I was waay into eggs and stuff to really pay attention, so pardon me, Chris, for not elaborating… All I remember is that I would’ve loved to have a job like yours way back when…
Having said that, I guess I should be happy I could retire at age 54, huh?
Katie is cramming medical school stuff into her obviously competent brain… There’s no doubt she’ll be a very capable doctor some day soon… (maybe in another four years?)
To me, it’s amazing how anyone can remember all those Latin words for everything in the body, and then, learn how to fix whatever ails you…
Incredible! Just as a note: I have trouble spelling, period!
Anyway, we had a great time, as we did the last time with these two, and I want to reassure Molly (not that one), Dave, and Katie’s parents, that they should be very proud of their kids… They certainly have their heads on straight!
OK…… After getting breakfast over with, we headed home to do some “Fall” cleaning…
Our home-on-wheels sorely needed it, because we’ve been kind of lax lately…
Made up for it, though, with a go-for-broke cleaning job…
Oh, yeah, baby… Got the joint sparkling!
I laid down for a while (old age), while, unbeknownst to me, Lu found her hiking shoes and headed for the shoreline…
Got up to find her gone…
Not much to do without her, so I got our propane tanks filled, and was about to go searching, when she showed up… She must’ve walked at least four, or five miles, just to get to and from the beach, but after a small discussion, we piled into the truck and headed back to the beach… I needed the walk, too!
We probably walked a couple of miles with the wind behind us, and, of course, when we turned around to go back it became pretty darn cool…
It was invigorating, though… Not a cloud in the sky… Just Luanne and I (and a couple of dozen others) spending some quality time hitting the sand…
Our last encounter with the Maine shoreline…
We’ve had an incredible time here, in the State of Maine, and we’ve enjoyed every minute… Like I said before, if it wasn’t for Winters, we wouldn’t have minded living here… It’s a gorgeous State, and the people are as friendly as in Washington, and that’s saying something!
After our beach walk, we stopped by the Sunset Bar and Grill to say good bye to Dale and the crew, then headed home, where we turned on the heater (it’s getting cold, folks!), had a steak dinner, watched some TV, and headed for the sack… Well, I’m not there quite yet, but I will be as soon as this is done.
That means: Night-all, folks…
We’re off to Massachusetts tomorrow morning to meet up with Terry and Gede… Should be a blast… I’ll keep you posted.
Here are the few pix I got today:
