Acton ME Trip 08/14/10


Sue's friend Gale offered us the use of her place in Acton, ME for the weekend as she was heading off on vacation for a week.

So, Friday after work we drove up, stopping over in Sanford, ME for an amazingly wonderful dinner at The Backstreet Grill.

On Saturday, Sue took me on a tour of the area she had grown up in and then over to the Bemis Farm in South Tamworth, NH where she worked for 23 years and is very close to the family there. From there, we drove over to Broad Bay off of Ossipee Lake to her brother Alan's summer cottage. We had lunch there and a wonderful time looking out over the water and chatting. I got to meet Sue's mom and one of Alan's daughters and grandkids, so it was a really nice time.

Sunday, Sue took me over to Tamworth where she was born for a tour. Then, we came back to Dover, did some food shopping, and I fixed up a marvelous off the cuff chicken, sweet potato, and broccoli curry spiced dinner.

Here are some pictures that Sue took; I can't compete with her eye for this stuff so I just left my camera home instead of bringing it and humiliating myself in front of the whole world in cyberspace.

Ouch! Sue got side-swiped by some fool a few days back. She'll get it fixed in a few weeks while she's off to Peru for her son Lucas's wedding. Yeah... Peru.
