8:56 am

Scrabbler

Still here, penquis?

9:07 am

penquis

scrabs!....how was your trip?

9:08 am

Scrabbler

Penquis! My head is still in Maine and ANP. I love Maine!

9:08 am

penquis

cool!....glad you enjoyed your visit...

9:09 am

Scrabbler

We drove up Rte 1 after Brunswick and stopped in Bucksport for lunch then in Castine (recommended by Babbler nrkii) for a walk. ANP is a special place.

9:10 am

penquis

oh, darn!....if i knew you were driving up the coast, i would have tried to connect with you....i am about an hour and 15 minutes up the coast from Brunswick....

9:11 am

Scrabbler

We biked 24 miles on the carriage roads, walked out on the bar at low tide to Bar Island, kayaked on Long Pond, Northeast Creek, and Eagle Lake, and hiked The Beehive, Great Head, Ocean Path, Gorham Mtn, and Pemetic Mtn.

9:11 am

penquis

wow, you were an active tourist!

9:11 am

Scrabbler

And there is so much more to do there--more places to paddle, to hike, and to bike. We saw 3 eagles too.

9:12 am

penquis

nice...

9:12 am

Scrabbler

My vacations are always about being active outdoors. I called this trip Acadia Boot Camp.

9:12 am

penquis

hah!....preparation for a return trip?

9:14 am

Scrabbler

I plan to return someday, with my sisters and cousins. Now I know the geography well and can plan our days.

9:14 am

penquis

for sure....

9:14 am

Scrabbler

I would go the week after Labor Day as last weekend and Monday were crazy. United Nations on MDI.

9:15 am

penquis

yes, and September is usually quite nice here....fewer tourists than the months of July and August....

9:15 am

Scrabbler

And there is so much more to see and do in Maine--paddling and hiking. I am sad that I live so far away though. 12 hour drive to MDI.

9:17 am

penquis

yes, it is a long drive...the midcoast is nice, too....from Bath to Searsport is considered the midcoast...

9:18 am

Scrabbler

We were told about paddling on the Penobscot River in Damariscotta.

9:19 am

penquis

Yes, and that is a nice community.....a little artsy in a nice way....

9:19 am

Scrabbler

No, that is the Damariscotta River there.

9:20 am

Scrabbler

We drove 95 on the way back.

9:20 am

penquis

we have the Georges River Land Trust here in the midcoast.....you should check out their website...

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Nice website. Is that the St George River in town?

9:25 am

Scrabbler

I found more info.

9:27 am

penquis

the St. George does go by Thomaston...

9:29 am

Scrabbler

There are so many ponds and lakes to portage amongst. We have ultralightweight hybrid canoes. We sit on the bottom of a 10-foot canoe and use a double-ended paddle. The canoe is made of Kevlar so weights 15 lbs.

9:30 am

penquis

cool....yes, Maine has lots of lakes and ponds....and woods!

9:30 am

Scrabbler

And so many oak trees.

9:31 am

penquis

and maples and pines and lots of other trees.. ;o)

9:31 am

Scrabbler

Spruce dominated Pemetic Mtn trails.

9:33 am

penquis

lost me there...

9:33 am

Scrabbler

That trail and mtn were covered with spruce trees.

9:34 am

Scrabbler

And I was fascinated with the geology of MDI. I found a great book which I am reading.

9:34 am

penquis

ah....do you canoe only on lakes and rivers?

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Quiet water paddling. Maybe in the ocean if the water were calm.

9:38 am

penquis

here some people do sea kayaking....

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Yes, we saw many cars with sea kayaks on top--16-17 feet long. We met a couple from Boston, ages 81 and 78, that have been going to MDI for 20 yrs to sea kayak. They inspired us so much.

9:41 am

penquis

i bet!

9:41 am

penquis

in Rockland you can also go rowing in the harbor with one of those long wooden boats with multiple rowers....

9:42 am

penquis

or go on a sail....

9:42 am

Scrabbler

I know people that take cruises, on schooners I think, from Rockland. Windjammer?

9:43 am

penquis

yes....there are day trips and overnight trips up to a week or just a little less...

9:44 am

penquis

very large sailing vessels...

9:47 am

Scrabbler

30 left. I have to work on laundry from my trip, then will hike. Say hello to Maine for me.

9:48 am

penquis

will do!...bye...

9:50 am

rururocks

say hello to broadway for me

9:55 am

penquis

hi ru....i was just leaving....don't want to look at this awful grid anymore than i have had to this morning....

9:57 am

Hello, all.

12:15 pm

Soodle

Oh dear Lord. Irma is top news here. I'm praying for minimum damage to people & infrastructure.

12:16 pm

mael

hah, I actually tried "prume" without thinking about it, which is what my daughter, at three, still calls prunes

12:18 pm

jaxx7

((Soodle))

12:19 pm

mael

I still have no sixes, any clues?

12:19 pm

rururocks

ab6 short

12:20 pm

mael

thanks, got it!

12:20 pm

jaxx7

t +town area

12:21 pm

Soodle

Lol Mael!! My kids always called chicken goujons 'chicken gougers'. (Gouger is Irish slang for gangster/bad guy). I mortified myself in a butchers shop recently asking for a dozen gangsters/bad guys!

12:21 pm

jaxx7

Aren't you speaking to me , soodle?

12:22 pm

Soodle

Well, hello Jaxx!!! Long time no see! Delighted to sed you :-)

12:22 pm

Soodle

See...

12:23 pm

jaxx7

I have had a bad two years and I still have one more op to go. I tried to e-mail you but my PC wouldn't accept your e-mail address.

12:24 pm

mael

haha soodle, kids are hilarious. She's incredibly articulate but we have intentionally not corrected her when she persists in making adorable mistakes, like aminals instead of animals.

12:24 pm

Soodle

thats weird! Try :- biddyearly@me.com, Jaxx.

12:24 pm

Soodle

thats weird! Try :- biddyearly@me.com, Jaxx.

12:26 pm

jaxx7

My daughter asked for brocott once and that stuck too!

12:26 pm

jaxx7

Brocotti

12:26 pm

mael

that's a great one

12:27 pm

Soodle

Mael, spaghetti bolognaise in this house is still referred to as sketti & sauce. The residents of the house are 27,&22!!

12:27 pm

jaxx7

I will try that e-mail, soodle.

12:28 pm

mael

hah! she still calls all pasta "noo-noos" from when she couldn't say noodles

12:29 pm

Soodle

Please do, Jaxx. We have a lot to catch up on. I'm really sorry you've had a rough couple of years. ((((Hugs)))

12:30 pm

jaxx7

We had a guest house when we were young. It was just as dried mash came in. We called that slosh because that is how mum put it on the plates

12:31 pm

Soodle

Dried mash.... ''''shudder'''i

12:31 pm

mael

I hope I remember all of these long after they're grown

12:32 pm

therealblah

what is dried mash (if i dare ask...)

12:32 pm

jaxx7

Thanks, soodle. there were times when I didn't think I was going to make it, to be honest. The op for endometrial cancer was OK but the one for colonic cancer was a nightmare and I am still feeling the effects nearly 12 months on. still only one left to go next week and I can relax.

12:33 pm

jaxx7

In this country we call it Smash. Dried flakes of potato that are reconstituted by adding boiling water.

12:34 pm

therealblah

oh gosh my mom used to use those, yuk

12:36 pm

jaxx7

This was before they got the hang of it - a new idea. To this day (and I am 71) we call it slosh. My dad used to say sshh the guests will hear you. What if they did? They wouldn't know what it was.

12:37 pm

mael

oh, we call it puree in Italy and I kinda miss it sometimes

12:37 pm

mael

but my mum reconstituted them with milk and butter which improved the consistency a little

12:37 pm

jaxx7

It is much improved now. Then it was horrible

12:38 pm

therealblah

i use the dried flakes sometimes to thicken soup

12:38 pm

mael

jaxx, I am so sorry to hear you've been unwell. Fingers crossed that this op takes care of the rest!

12:38 pm

jaxx7

Now that is a good idea.

12:40 pm

jaxx7

It has been harrowing but as one nurse said I'm pragmatic and take life as it comes. Something I learned from dealing with my late son.

12:42 pm

jaxx7

My dear husband has taken over the house as I just couldn't do anything. he is roasting duck for tea.

12:44 pm

jaxx7

One of the worst things was not being able to sit long enough to use my computer. I couldn't play babble, I couldn't send e-mails and I couldn't use facebook.

12:45 pm

jaxx7

I must away as he has just called me. Best wishes to you all.

12:51 pm

mael

best wishes to you as well, good luck next week!

2:27 pm
