What is this? The Keys? No! It is Maine and we have had 4 days of sunshine! Yesterday we packed up some stuff and headed out for a day of sailing on the Virginia J. She is 35 feet long, a lovely blue color, and she sails beautifully. We slathered with sunscreen, but I still got my lips sunburned. When we got home Dave made Scallops wrapped in bacon on the grill, and Moira made us lobster macaroni and cheese. I asked for the lobster mac because it is a new Maine specialty and I had it in Camden Maine. Talk about mixing 2 favorite food groups. Yesterday I made an apple pie and it was wonderful. At my friend Linda’s I added Baileys Irish Cream to the recipe and did it again here. YUM. Later today, I’ll go out with Moira again to the peaceful retreat of the poet Mei-mei Berssenbrugge and the sculpter Richard Tuttle. Moira is closing up their house for the winter, and I volunteered to help. Just being there where beautiful art has been created is such a blessing. I am painting every day (or I try to set aside time to do that) and I will take paints to paint while the washer and dryer are doing their thing. Fattened up, we will be leaving tomorrow for Connecticut and then south to Boone, North Carolina. God bless you.
