birthday month - recap

day 1 - worked all day and spent all night (literally) helping my sister set up the reception area for my niece's wedding

day 2 - worked all day and spent the evening at a kansas winery for the rehearsal dinner - we actually found a couple wines we liked even!  this was also my sister's birthday and i got to spend it with her for once!

day 3 - spent the day celebrating young love - my niece and newest nephew got married!

day 4 - got to spend a little more quality time with my brother and his family and then spent the entire day flying back to maine

day 5 - started out as a relaxing day on the dock then we proceeded to take the sailboat and bass boat out of the water for the season (boo!).  ended the day with pat's pizza and the grocery store

day 6 - caught up on ray donovan and of course worked all day

day 7 - attended a paints and pints class with amy where we got to learn to watercolor while drinking beer - how can you go wrong?  oh, and of course there was the work thing all day


day 8 - went to a wine and cheese tasting with sean and amber and the work thing

day 9 - check out my surprise birthday getaway post

day 10 - check out my surprise birthday getaway post

day 11 - check out my surprise birthday getaway post

day 12 - attended our town selectman's meeting, finished watching the series boardwalk empire and did the work thing

day 13 - started cutting back the flower gardens and went on a final wine cruise on the pontoon boat (and the work thing) - the moon was so bright and the stars were beautiful!

day 14 - went to dinner with my honey and got caught up on ray donovan, oh and that work thing

day 15 - ran a bunch of errands with duke and went to bed early (oh that work thing)

day 16 - worked all day and then loaded up guzzy and headed near the new hampshire boarder to visit some friends

day 17 - spent the day helping friends finish getting ready for the party, lounging by the pool, visiting with old and new friends, playing corn hole, having too many beverages and staying up way too late

day 18 - spent the day recovering from the day before, lounging around watching football (yea cowboys won, although we watched the pats) and heading back home with guzzy (and the rest of the family)

day 19 - worked all day then went to check on my garden and picked the ripe tomatoes and then spent the rest of the night working on cpe - that's rude that they make your cpa license due the month of your birth and require so much cpe at the same time!

day 20 - all weekend duke was screeching whenever you would touch him.  we finally were able to get him into the vet.  still don't have any answers other than he has hurt his back.  spent the rest of the day cuddling him and having a meltdown regarding the fact that he's getting older....i'm sure i also worked and did cpe but it's all a blur...

day 21 - worked and did cpe, took the last boat out of the water and started the process of taking all the lake toys to the barn for the winter

day 22 - worked and did cpe, made dinner, went for ice cream and watched the pats (we were supposed to be at the game but with duke not feeling well and not knowing the issue we decided to stay home)

day 23 - was pretty lazy - did the work thing and some cpe, watched the season finale of ray donovan and then went to bed early to prep for the next day

day 24 - spent the entire day closing up camp - from sinking the dock to moving all the outdoor furniture to the garage.  ended the day with pizza and beers with great friends.

day 25 - did the grocery store thing, watched a niece play soccer (brrrrr!), continued camp close up and watched the cowboys!  and of course cuz it was national lobster day we ended the day with some lobster on the marina! YUM!


day 26 - cpe, cpe, cpe

day 27 - cpe, cpe, cpe

day 28 - took duke to see the doggie neurologist and more cpe...

day 29 - finally finished all my cpe!

day 30 - went apple picking!

day trippin'

it was kinda icky over the weekend
so sean and i decided to take a day trip

to castine

a quaint little coastal maine town

and what good would a coastal town be
without a lighthouse, right?

and a very steep path down to the ocean

we highly recommend the golf cart tour of the city

you will learn all sorts of things
and get insider knowledge about the surrounding area
and the locals

they have famous writers and playwrights and award winners and such
and perhaps you can help the local blacksmith

and queue the sailboat...

and because you just never know what you'll see on the side of the road in maine...

celebrating the military

sean loves the blue angels

i mean love, loves

or maybe it's just airshows in general

either way...

he finally drug me to one

in brunswick, maine

i'll give it to him

it was pretty cool

some of those planes would take off

and you could feel it

through your whole body

and the tricks

let's talk about those tricks

and how i didn't want to look

and the plane that landed on a moving rv

but the history of it all was cool too

and in case you were wondering...
it was very difficult to get any good pictures with moving targets going that fast!

lobster cruising

this is going to be a record summer for us
in terms of number of visitors

and one of our favorite things to do
with our guests
is go out for a lobster cruise
with robertson sea tours

we love it cuz it's a small boat
so no strangers

and they're pet friendly

and of all the times we've gone
we've never had the same trip twice

this time we saw lots of seals



and stopped off on a private island
for a lobster dinner



if you're ever in the area - definitely check them out
or if you're visiting us
we'll likely take you
