Maine photos

The 'free' computer I have at home works, and I was able to get photos off my camera last night. What a miracle! I'll have several posts, even though my vacation was not nearly as exciting as Churlita's.

I'm starting with the kids. My nieces were there for a few days and it's always great to have kids around, until they start fighting and complaining, of course. But that's why mom is there.

The kids loved the lake and really wanted to fish and be in the boat. Alas, the fishing kinda sucked this year, so even with worms they caught nothing. They did see me catch some, so at least they saw some fish! (but more on my fishing later). So if you can't catch them, feed them off the dock.



But the boat is fun, at 'high' speed...



Low speed in the channel, looking for turtles and fish...



And medium speed tempting fate and singing the state song...



But the best is either steering (no photo for this) or doing donuts at high speed with your crazy aunt driving the boat. (there's a great video of this)

PS, had my first ever dream with a blogger in it that I haven't met! pretty cool. Will not say who it was... ha.

My guess - you dreamed of being on the water with Gyuss, drifting down the Mighty Mississip for a solid 72 hours before you give up and buy a Yaris.

I love their hats!!!

Nice pictures, BTW.

MRT, that would be a GREAT guess, but I've met Gyuss in person. As for the Yaris thing, well, he's just not a water guy apparently. :-)

Susan, they remind me too much of their father, so I don't like them...

MRT, gracias.

i dream of bloggers from time to time, usually conversations with them. i've spoken to a few of them but never met any of them so that all sounds normal to me.

nice pictures, love life on the lake.

one of these days i'm gonna make that my reality...

I would usually rather have a more relxaing vacation than an exciting one. Yours looks wonderful.

Laura, it is. Nice new photo!

OG - you have to visit ALL the states there. None are far away...

Heather-but some people you've see their faces, right? But you still only hear voices? Wait, this is when you are asleep, right? ;-)

Churlita, Ceo, Puss, yea, it's relaxing and beautiful. even when it rains, which it didn't.
