We try never to
miss the Fourth of July parade in Saxton's River (a village just west
of Bellows Falls). This young lady isn't too thrilled over the sirens
from the fire equipment at the end, however!
One of the features
of the parade that we always enjoy the most is a troupe of Morris dancers
from nearby Brattleboro (the town where the 1960s went to retire).
Here's Penney,
taking her new kayak for a "test drive". She liked it, bought
it, and looks forward to using it on the Portage River back home.
And what would
Summer be like without our annual trip to Boothbay Harbor, Maine? This
is the view from our motel balcony . . . 'nuf sed.
This is the view
at dawn.

from the other direction; we're eating at a lobster wharf (see next photo).
Penney and Mom
about to dive into some serious seafood.
Another lobster
dinner photo!
And another gorgeous
Maine sunset.

at the Ocean Point Inn, near where Mom stayed as a young woman (we actually
ate something other than lobster that night!).
