SUMMER SEASON BEGINS - GUEST & FAMILY ARRIVE.
Although winter in Eastport can be busy, summer is much busier. My postings have been neglected because I have been entertaining family and friends. Summer is the time for company and it affords me the opportunity to do many of the things that have been postponed because "tomorrow is another day". With company in house these adventures must be undertaken or the time slips by.
My cousins JoAnne and Mary from Las Vegas arrived in late June and were fortunate enough to miss the heavy rains the week before. We had a great visit and many enjoyable day trips. They both loved the place. I was concerned that Mary, being a teenager from the bright lights of the big city, would be bored to tears. However, she also fell in love with the place and remarked that she wished she didn't have to leave.
We all took a lot of great pictures and indulged in the fantastic local seafood. Mary had her first Maine lobster and managed quite well.
JoAnne is the shopper in our family, but also managed nicely with the limited availability of local, big city commercial enterprises.
Of course, Duncan was thrilled to see his Aunt JoAnne because she spoils him rotten. Thus began the "season" for us and it will continue through September when we are tentatively expecting our last guest, our contractor and a great friend, Will, from the old days in Florida.
