We spent a week in Maine with Robin's family... mom (Cheryl), dad (David), sister (Heather) & Fiance (Ricky). It was FABULOUS! Cheryl, Heather, & Ricky picked us up in Portland and we ate dinner at the Saltwater Grille which had a great view of the harbor and downtown. This is the cottage we stayed in. My parent's have been renting it the same time in June for the past 32 years! It is a very magical place and we feel very lucky to still be there!

This is the view from the terrace of the cottage!

Hangin' on the terrace:

We had lobster for dinner twice- yummy! Heather and I found these silly aprons and decided to serve the lobster:

This is a view of the tidal river (at low tide) that flows up into the salt marsh. At high tide all this is under water.

I made a painting of the view from the terrace:

Every day at low tide we crossed the tidal river and went for a 3-mile walk on the "big beach"

There is an old ship wreck on the beach, this small part of the bow of the ship is all you can see any more.

If you look very closely at the middle of this pic you can see a rainbow:

A sample of shells we found on our walks on the beach:

We call this the "ouchy sand" because it hurts the arch of your foot when you walk on it. It's made by the gentle wave action of 6' of water over it at high-tide.
