Out and About

May 5, 2019

Is it just me or does it really seem like there is a lot going on around the area. Carroll and I traveled to Bangor for another one of his appointments on Monday the 29^th; we were in and out quickly and was heading home all before 10 am.

On the 30^th I took the Narragaugus Drama Club to UMM, while I was there I got to do some research at the library on campus and still was able to watch the play the Lobsterman & his Wife. This was another productive day for me in my research of the Epping Base Line.

On Thursday May 2 all of D.W. Merritt school went on a field trip to the Downeast Institute on Beals Island to learn about Marine Ecosystem, they had activities to do and also toured the site.

This was my first trip there and I enjoyed learning about what they do there at the Downeast Institute.

Friday was another busy day, I drove the Special Olympics students to UMM where they all came home with ribbons from their competitions. While they were busy with this I was able to do some more research at the Heritage Center on the Epping Base Line.

The school week had kept me busy, but on Saturday I was finally able to get out side and do some raking on the lawn in the morning and later in the evening from the winter plowing that always leave rocks and sand on the lawn. After getting the riding lawn mower going I hauled a few loads of sand and rocks off to put in the mud holes I seem to get. I even finally was able to get to the Transfer Station with two loads, one of which was for the Two Good To Toss building. My house seems lighter now with getting rid of reusable items that someone else may be able to use.

In the afternoon I attended the Quilt Show at the Cherryfield Academy Community Center. There were many quilts and all lovely. It was hard to choose between them all the one to vote on. While I was there I was pleased to see my friend Bonnie Clark from Eddington. We had a nice visit while looking at the quilts and getting caught up on news.

Condolences goes out to the following families on their loss of their love ones: Anthony Small of Cherryfield/Bangor, Barney Beal and Muriel Beal of Milbridge, John Burkett of Harrington and Dottie Cardarelli of Beddington.
