This is Fezziwig from "A Christmas Carol". The Fezziwigs always seemed to be having a good time as they danced. As I read this with my fifth graders it was one of my favorite parts of the story.
Anyway, Tut made it because I mentioned I would like to make a snowman on day but the snow wasn't sticky enough. On a day that it was sticky as I took a nap, he made one. He has much more of an imagination than I do so I held things as he decorated. Anyway I loved it.

Then the following  show the snow in Maine before the big storm we expect on Friday .

I know Grant and Daryl can't wait to get here!!!!

A Trip on Saturday

Hi everyone, I haven't written anything lately but have not been in a good place.

On Saturday Tut and I went on an all day trip to Schoodic Point and then to Camden. I know Tut hates crowds so I think it was to get my mind off me. I love walking on the rocks at Schoodic and it was beautiful there. A lot of people we on the rocks and Murph was getting compliments from fans.

Then we went to Camden and saw the tall ships and if you know anything about Camden in the summer you can imagine how Route 1 was.  We also watched kids run on lobster traps in the water.

 

The little kids had no trouble but the more you weighed the more trouble. I found myself hoping someone would fall . It was time to go home but I do like watching kids as they are so unaffected and don't care who's watching.

All in all it was a good day.

Run Faster, Jump Higher

We went to Skowhegan today to the annual New Balance shoe sale. It is always held in August and is very crowded. This year it was not bad though. I have always bought my cross trainers at this sale but didn't need any this year so bought some  NB Achieves which I like because you can slip them on.

It was fun watching all the people trying to get the best deals and watching the stock boys & girls trying to get down the aisles with the shoes and still answer the many questions from customers.

Tut managed to get two pair of walking shoes which made him happy. It is always fun to go to the "sneaker sale."

Day at the Coast

Today we went to Reid and walked on the beach for awhile. It was kind of cold but there were a few people there. I guess everyone just wants to get out. Murphy loved it and I did want to let him go and just run but that is not allowed. After we went to Five Islands and saw some lobsters being brought in. There were two huge ones and a lot of traps with lobsters. It was fun. I have decided I love Maine and its quirky weather. I guess you like the place where you live and especially when you travel a bit you notice things about your home that you never noticed before. I never have paid attention to lobster men before but today they seem happy and friendly. I noticed the lichen on a wall, how far the beach seems to go and how vast the ocean really is. All in all it was a great day.

This is a picture from my zoo picture and also my first blog almost alone. I am exhausted! More later.

My New Blog

Hi Guys,

This is my new blog that Suzanne helped me set up.  (Ma just farted and is now hysterically laughing- Suz wrote this part.) She doesn't want ANYONE reading this blog so just pretend to read it. Make sure to pass it on to all your friends. "Suzanne, get it out of there! Stop it!"

More exciting news to come!
