August 31, Sunday: OK, decided to brave the crowds and head into Kennebunkport. We drove through here about 10 years ago with the Emrichs. Loved it then and love it now. Drove out by the Peninsula to have a look at the Senior Bush compound. Lots of people off the side of the road. If you have never seen it it is really a great looking place to live. After we drove down the road, we headed back into Kennebunkport to walk around and have lunch. Larry was able to get a haircut even though it was Sunday. Found out George Sr. and George W. Bush have had haircuts there. At least that is what "they" say. Larry felt very priviledged. While talking to a local, she suggested driving up to Cape Porpoise to a local's joint for a late lunch. Nice drive and a fun place. Cape Porpoise is a small fishing village so we walked along the pier before heading into the funky pub to eat. Larry had a lobster roll which is advertised everywhere and I had fish & chips. This pub is under the main restaurant. It is decorated with all kinds of baseball memorabilia. When we walked in there were only 4 people when we left around 5pm it was full of locals who had been out on the water. Just our kind of fun place. I do believe we may have been the only tourist.







September 1, Monday: Happy Labor Day! For me this is a sorta sad day because I am not ready for summer to start coming to a close. Apparently Mother Nature agrees; it is beautiful today. Several of the cabins here are having block parties. Took the dogs for a long walk and discovered there is a Community College just down the road from us. Two ponds that have signs saying ice skate at your own risk. Don't plan on being here when the ponds ice over! Small campus but quietly elegant.



Tomorrow going to LL Bean Country!



Good Night!
