While we are on the road, I grab TV in hotel rooms, or at Dave Larson’s the first thing in the morning… and how scary and interesting our world is… scary because of the bombings and plane crashes, interesting because of the political talk… why is it candidates talk about their plans and issues and then… when they are elected, supposedly by a majority of the nation, they can’t get their plans through? Almost makes me think our national "plan" isn’t working. A celebrity runs and he talks brashly, but people are listening… but it is far away from summer 2016… Weather is hot and muggy and still air dominates. The fires in the west need rain. Is it better not to watch TV? Maybe I should be watching HGTV and DIY network so I will be able to jump on "projects" when we get home. Before we left, I started a little garden with a really pretty hibiscus near the art room window, and I hope it survived and I can clean it up and develop it. Also need to paint the house and update the murals on the back. As for America, how is she doing? Well, let me say WOW! yesterday we left SW Harbor Maine (most people know Bar Harbor… well SW Harbor is on that island too) and we headed west past Bangor Maine on route 2. This is a winding road through little Maine towns. We were advised to stop at the Bankery in Skowhegan and we did! It is a bakery in an old bank in an old town. Actually not only a bakery, also make wedding cakes and rents tuxedos and wedding things! We asked about accommodations and got 2. Stopped at the first, the Towne Motel (same name as our hotel in Camden Maine) and they gave us a room with king sized bed at nice rate… and they recommended we go to the river which we did. And then we sat and I painted a little weir (slight damming of the water that makes ripples and fast current.) We watched kyakers take a string of what looked like little children in tubes down the current … Felt like Big Pine Key with the kyakers! Soon this morning it will be time to continue on route 2 towards Sugar Hill New Hampshire to visit our friends Linda and Joe Mccarthy (no relation)… and then on south into Connecticut to visit all kinds of Peabody family and friends. Good weather to you and God bless you.
