Weekend in Maine

After a wonderful weekend in Maine, I am back at home. It was a really nice time of relaxation and revival. Upon getting there we parked the camper and headed down to Sam's, a grinder shop up there, where my parents ordered a special one for me...without the cheese. :) Sadly for them, the order was mixed up and all four grinders came back without cheese. Somehow it was my fault for being different. 

After that they dropped me off at my friend Laura's house where I knocked on the wrong house and had to be told to go two doors down. When I got there, I intended to catch up with Laura and take my Academic Strategies class. The first of the two things I accomplished...very well! The real story is that I tried for a half an hour and couldn't log in to my class. So, Laura and I made the best of it and munched on some cookies as we talked. :)

The next day I spent the morning getting schoolwork done in the Freeport church, who happily let campers use their wireless internet. My parents went on a motorcycle ride while I did this and enjoyed the Maine sites. We caught up later in the afternoon and went a few stores in Freeport. It was all very sad for me who didn't have money to buy anything, but I survived (This is coming from a previously die-hard shopper).

On Friday Adam came up on his motorcycle. He left at 7:00a.m.! I was impressed. :) After he arrived we coupled up and got on our motorcycles to go to Cooke's restaurant. I was surprised that the waitress didn't look at me cross-eyed when I ordered all side dishes of different vegetables. I even topped it off with a piece of strawberry pie...Mmmm yum! 

Adams bike acted up a little after that so we headed back so he could figure out what it was. It turned out to be nothing big, so we took a quick trip to L.L. Bean. (for those of you who don't know, this is an amazing store of the east full of everything you will ever need for camping, hiking, canoeing and kayaking, and hunting and fishing) It was nice to be back in our old stomping ground. 

Friday evening we went to the big tent to hear Lee Venden speak. The message was awesome! It was very hard to leave and go to the youth meeting Sabbath morning, but there were people that I really wanted to see there. I was able to see Scott and Andrea, my beloved friends who took me in and let me sing in praise team while I was at Pine Tree Academy. I also met their beautiful daughter Reese. She is sooooo cute! It was a lot of fun to see everyone again. 

That afternoon we took another ride out to Portland Headlight. I love the ocean! It was beautiful. So for a minute I will stop babbling and give you a taste of Maine...

 

So, to wrap things up, it was a wonderful time. I was so glad to see those of you that were up there. Sadly, there were still some of you that I wanted to catch up but didn't see. To you, I am very sorry, but I hope we can meet or talk sometime soon. 

Adios!
