One thing I forgot to mention yesterday when I was writing about my trip to the Cellardoor Winery. On the way there, we had to drive through an area where a load of fish had been scattered in the highway. I knew I needed to get the stuff out from under my car ASAP, so when I got home, I went to the self service car wash and sprayed under the car and in the fender wells.
Well this morning, my car reeked of fish!!!
Yuk!! The first thing we did was to take the car to the car wash again and spray under it and in the fender wells. We aren't sure if we got it all. By tomorrow we'll know. If it still stinks, I'll be taking it to a full service car wash place to have it detailed.
After the car wash ordeal we went to our favorite place, "The Market Basket". We go there about once a week for coffee and a scone. We sit outside in the sun and people watch while we enjoy one of the best scones around. After a relaxed morning, we headed back to camp to do our "work".
Right after finishing work, I get a text message from one of my best friends, Heather. The message, "Free 5-day cruise leaves Sat for Bahamas. My roommate has to bail. Will you come with me?" Being the friend that I am, I couldn't possibly let her go on the cruise without a roommate. Now could I? I was thrilled, to say the least. I booked my flight and will be flying out Friday to Jacksonville. The cruise departs on Saturday. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it! I've never been to the Bahamas.
Back to the activities of today. We drove to
Deer Isle. An island about 1 1/2 hours away. The "town" of Deer Isle consisted of one street with 3 galleries, a diner, a book store, the post office, the library and an inn. I wondered through the galleries while T & Molly sat on a bench. We then drove around the island, took a few pictures and headed home.

On the way home we stopped at a place called,
Tashafer's Take Out. I took a picture, so we could remember where
NOT to go the next time we are in the area. The fries were over cooked and the BBQ chicken sandwich T had was nothing more than a piece of chicken dipped in BBQ sauce. It wasn't even cooked in the sauce. Another dining disappointment.

After fitting the misquotes for six weeks, we finally said, "Enough is enough!" We bought a screen room. It's wonderful!!!! We can sit outside and enjoy the evening without the suckers buzzing around our ears and bitting the hell out of us. Why didn't we do this earlier? Who knows, but now we'll enjoy the rest of the summer.
Once I got back to Heather with the car we were off and running. At times it seemed as if we were running. The car's max speed was 25 miles an hour. In the Bahamas they drive on the left side of the road. That made for some exciting moments, when either Heather or I would forget which side we needed to be on. We drove all around the island and saw beautiful homes and fabulous beaches. We even saw a home that looked like a light house.
Had a dinner at a cute little place called Bay Leaf Bistro. On Saturday nights they offer a Lobster dinner for $12.00. It was the best meal and the best price I've had since arriving in Camden. My friend Marry went with me since T doesn't like lobster and the bistro only serves lobster or mac and cheese on Saturday night. Due to the heat and the bistro not having air conditioning the bistro setup picnic tables outside. Mary and I sat with a couple from Wisconsin, Vicki and Mike. After dinner Mary and I drove to Lincolnville beach and I got a few good photos.
While on the boat as sea lion swam right up to and under the boat. I got a great photo of it.
