Bar Harbor, Maine

September 5, 6, & 7, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday: Woke this morning to low tide. People can walk from the campground out to the two islands in the bay. Incredible that the tide recedes that far. Well, today is ..back to the vet day...for Sobaka. His cyst will not heal no matter what we do. Able to get him in but not until 12:30pm so kinda of shoots our day. To make a long story short, the vet thought he could just to a local anesthetic and remove the cyst. Yep! too easy......... it was too deep into his hip. Can't do it to day but can do it on Monday. He did cauterize it so he would leave it alone. A few more people coming in for the week-end. Doesn't surprise us the weather has been so nice. Subject to change when Hurricane Hanna gets here. They are expecting 2-4 inches of rain when she arrives late Saturday night or Sunday morning. While sitting outside we heard a bell. Ok, I heard a ringing sound. It turned out to be a lady who bakes pies and sells them at the campground. Well, I may not be as fond of lobster as Larry but I do like blueberries. We bought a fresh wild blueberry pie still warm and a huge lemon cookie Larry could have with his morning coffee. Pie was $15.00 a little high but oh my gosh it was worth it! Had a piece for dinner.



Saturday: General housekeeping and laundry morning. Received a phone call from the Cole's in Northern Virginia late morning. They were getting pounded with rain and winds. Since it is headed our way they wanted to give us a heads up! We sat outside and enjoyed our view because it sounds like it would not be here later. It actually started raining about 7:30pm. By the time we went to bed it was raining pretty steady.
Forgot to mention, we met a nice couple who live just outside of Portland, Maine. They invited us to their site to have a glass of wine and toast their 40th wedding anniversary. We then invited them to come to our place for dessert, blueberry pie. Donna has been battling cancer for 18 years. Ed says it is getting harder each time it returns. We had a fun time sharing camping stories and they are going to spend their winter in Texas. Again we have to thank our lucky stars for what we have........................



Sunday: 8 inches of rain the camp host told Larry when he took the dogs for their morning walk. A few of the roads were washed out in the campground. Big ruts! They have a tractor which they share between campgrounds so when it is their turn they will grade the roads again. Our site is pretty soggy. Worked on the blog, read, and just lazed today. Unfortunately to wet to sit outside.

Tomorrow taking Sobaka to the vet at 8am then heading to BAAA Habaaaaa with Lottie.

Good Night!
