Packing in as Much as Possible on these Last Maine Day

We come to Maine for a month and it never fails that the last few days I try and do twice as much because I just don’t want it to end.

This morning I was out of the house at 7:30 to pick up my friend Warren for a big day of treasure hunting. I was looking for things to create Christmas items with and he was looking for antiques. He loves the hunt, I do for a while and then start to glaze over. I like the trip, the seeing new places in Maine and the scenery.

The night of the trip was the discovery of a store that even Warren had never heard of, but the second I drove by, I said, we are turning around and going to this store. What in the world could have enticed me so much?

THIS SIGN… Hussey’s Maine’s Largest General Store…. GUNS. WEDDING GOWNS? COLD BEER.

What was not intriguing about this? The only thing wrong was the order. It should be Cold Beer, Guns, Wedding Gowns.

We went in and it was a fabulous store! I was no allowed in the wedding gown Rea as it is my appointment only, but I was able to get this photo and sure enough there were many wedding dresses. For the record an old man did hit on me in the coffee aisle so maybe in the small town of Windsor, Maine they have a lot more weddings than your average town.

We were off to Fairfield Maine for our last searching trip. As I was searching for treasurers I came upon this little box of scrabble letters where someone had spelled out HARRIS. Hope is alive in Maine.

I had to get home because we were having my college friend Glenn Zeiders and his wife Kathy for dinner. They brought three of their four dogs to play with Shay for dinner and all the dogs did quite well. We were able to sit on the deck and eat outside to keep all the dogs happy and it was great getting to know them both better. In the really small world that we live in Russ had a business call with a guy he just met today who knew Glenn from the Navy. Everything comes full circle.

After the Zeiders left we watched the debate. All I can say about that is all our pets seemed to be safe and told us they have no fear of being eaten.
