Cloudy Monday Morning

I am really looking forward to some sunshine on Wed. These dreary days make me sad.

57 years ago I was getting ready to be married. Sunday July 6th would have been our 57th anniversary. Some days I miss my "Goldie" so much. I am sure I will get through this next week and be my old happy self again.

I am off to the Post Office. Chat later......

Corinna Old Home Days

It is cloudy but NO rain so the parade is on also a quilt show and an art show. There will be a

spaghetti supper at the Corinna Methodist Church. There will also be things going on all over town. So locals get out and enjoy.

Must go to the Post Office before they close at noon. Have a nice weekend.

A SUNNY FRIDAY MORNING

My son is out mowing the grass again. With the sun and then rain the grass is fast growing.

Our town now has a wonderful new gazebo it has just been finished. I will get a picture to put up on my blog.

We have Corinna Old Home Days this weekend. The town is looking festive with all the flags and decorations. 

A Partly Sunny Day

Hi  just a few words before I am off to the PO.

I have been e-mailing my sister. I have had breakfast and done some chores.

Today I will QUILT and then spend some time outside. Some places in Maine today have a watch for bad air. That does not happen here very often .

It is time to get some local strawberries. They are a treat to be had each year.A short distance from my home there is a farm with a strawberry pick your own field. Very nice. Or you can buy them at their farm stand. Either way it helps a local farmer. That is a good thing:)

Oh checkout my sons photos. Just click his link.

Good morning We have SUNSHINE

Today should be beautiful. My son got the weed trimmer going so he could cut all the shaggy grass around the trees etc.  It looks much neater.

I am having whole wheat toast-coffee and fruit. 

Today is the perfect June day. 

Say a kind word to someone today:)

Good afternoon

Monday is a little bit cloudy maybe a little rain coming. I met my friend Beth and it was nice to see her again. She brought me a really nice quilters mug. Now when I have coffee in that cup I will think of Beth. Her daughter is a beautiful young lady and was an infant when I last saw her.

I am off to the post office and have a meat loaf in the oven. It smells good already. Then green beans and baked potato sounds good for dinner. I am eating grapes for dessert. 

Remember to be kind to someone today.

Sunday Afternoon

Good afternoon . We had sun now clouds maybe showers coming our way.

I love to watch the finches at the feeder. They are so bright and pretty.

Hope to see my friend Beth today or tomorrow. Then later another old friend from my home town. Have a great day.

Saturday morning

Good morning we have SUNSHINE!!

I should go grocery shopping today. Then enjoy the good weather.

At my age one should enjoy all the things they love.

My project for the church is all done and I will be back to quilting! ! 

Have a great weekend.

First day of SUMMER

No rain today but also no bright sunshine.....maybe later.

My former neighbor and friend Sue stopped in to see me today and that was so nice.

When I moved here 11 years ago our street had no number. It amazed me not to have a street number.

I remember Sue stopping at my house to call AAA. At that time we just said the house next to the Health Center. We are now numbered for E-911. Anyway it was great to see her. I am also looking forward to seeing Beth back here in Maine for a few days. Must get a move on I am still in my old terry cloth  bathrobe.

I finally  got a haircut and now have less hair than my son. 

Oh, I think the sun is starting to peek out. Have a great weekend.

RAIN & FOG again this AM

It is beginning to get to be too much. I want some more sunshine.

Oh well I will be off to the bank and to get more yarn to complete my project.

Love to all.

HOW ABOUT THOSE CELTICS ! !

What a really BIG win. They were awesome. The Sox also won. New England is HAPPY.

We still have rain but the sun was with us foe a little while yesterday.

Must read the paper and finnish my breakfast.

I woke up to rain and fog

Oh well we had days of sun and the people who have gardens need some rain.

My favorite RED SOX were really off the mark last night.

Tonight we have the Celtics and I sure hope there is a better result.

Instead of quilting I am doing some knitting for a church project.

Our Mission project is making things for Hospital Chaplaincy.

I am knitting a shawl. Must have my coffee and breakfast, 

Wishing a great day to everyone.

They will be coming back to BOSTON

Our Patriots will be back and I hope win it all.

We had a gentle rain yesterday and it is cloudy today.

My son is back  and I enjoy having him around.

Hope our sunshine is back next week. This week we have to deal with rain and showers.

Have a great week anyway! ! 

A Sunny Saturday Morning

We have sunshine and a really nice day.

I will be off to the PO as they shut down at noontime on Saturday.

Then a few errands and home again. Have a nice weekend.

After our week of warmth and sun it is suppose to rain. The gardeners are

looking forward to that rain. Also the strawberry growers. We will be able to pick

your own in a week or so. That should be fun.

How about those CELTICS ! !

I loved watching such an interesting game. So NEW ENGLAND is happy today.

We have sunshine and a really beautiful day. Better enjoy it because Rain and showers are coming.

Have a great weekend. Don't worry about Friday the 13th. Not with this sunshine.

Remember to be a kind person.

A REALLY BEAUTIFUL DAY

We have sunshine and a delightful day. I will quilt today and get outside.

I want to finnish an OVERALL SAM quilt. It is almost done. Think I will finnish it today.

Love, Alice 

A rare perfect June day in Maine

I went in town and it has been such a beautiful day. Sunshine and low humidity. After several days with 90's and high humidity today was a treat. Blue sky and some fluffy white clouds.

The gas price today in Corinna is 4.09. I filled up my tank at 3.99 the other day.

The Lupine plants are in full bloom all along the highway and so pretty.

We had wicked Thunderstorms

BOTH my favorite teams lost last night. Then at midnight the thunder and lightening. I am too old not to get a good nights sleep.

Today should be more comfortable with less humidity. After breakfast I may go back to bed for an hour or so. I will see how I feel after I have my coffee and toast.

My favorite teams are NOT doing well tonight

After about 15 or 20 minutes of a heavy thunderstorm I finally listened to the Red Sox lose their game.

Now my Celtics are down 6 points. I will hope for the best. 

It has been too hot to quilt without my AC on.

 Tomorrow I have errands to run and it should be a less humid day.

I am off to my bedroom to watch the rest of the game Goodnight

It is a Beautiful Day

We may hit the 80's today but not as humid.

Have to go and VOTE today in the Maine primary.

Not much going on ......I will be watching the Celtics play tonight. 

As well as listening to the Red Sox. A day to enjoy the sunshine and Summer

Time. I am anxious for the local strawberries. Love to all.

Monday morning

I managed to stay cool yesterday. Today seems more humid. The sun is trying to shine.

I think today I will go and get a haircut. 

We had thunderstorms above us and all we got was a little rain last night.

Early this morning there was a lot of FOG. Enjoy your day.

Good Sunday Morning

We are suppose to have a very hot day here in Maine. 90's + and very humid. I opened all the windows I could and it is nice and cool inside. 

For one wicked hot day I won't complain. Not after 100+ inches of SNOW this past winter.

I love summer.

The coffee is on and in a little while I will get the Sunday paper. Enjoy the day.

Saturday Morning

It is cloudy but should be very Hot this weekend. I was NOT happy with the Red Sox last night. 

I am having coffee and watching the birds. The finches are so bright and fun to watch. 

Mike you had a package yesterday.

 Have a Happy weekend. I did a lot of quilting yesterday because the sun never came out.

Love, to all.

GOOD MORNING

New England is HAPPY the Red Sox won last night and our Celtics had a win over the Lakers.

The coffee is on and all is well. Today I will be going to the PO and then relax and quilt until the sun comes out.

Have a great day.

We might see the sun today

Yesterday was mostly clouds and rain. I did get the picture mailed off to Jackie, It is of about eight of us old John A. Cone school gals. we were in school in the 40's. One gal said she missed a meeting and had no picture. So I scanned the picture and mailed it to her yesterday.

Hope it is a nice surprise for her today when she checks her mail.

Today I will be off to the landfill. 

Tonight  the Celtics play the Lakers in BOSTON. The RED SOX will play early so we can all enjoy  both games. 

So today I plan to be happy.

We have RAIN this morning

Oh well, grocery shopping and post office to mail out a picture . Then a haircut. A good day to do errands.

Then when it hits the 80's this weekend with sunshine I will be free to get outside and enjoy.

Good thing my son cut the grass yesterday ....then the rain came. Still need to trim around the trees etc.

It does look a little better. Mike baked some brownies last evening and I have controlled my self with one little piece.  I am so proud of my restraint.

Have a Happy Day!

Tuesday June 3rd, 2008

This morning I met with ladies from the church. We went to the home of one of our members.

 It was very nice.

Now my son is mowing the grass before we get more rain showers. It looks pretty shaggy out there in our yard.

Tomorrow I go shopping for food. I only go every two weeks. Then I desperately need a haircut.

Now I am going to do some quilting after I take a little walk. Must get outside and enjoy some fresh air. We still have lilacs. They smell so nice.

Remember to be kind to your neighbors and friends.

I welcome the month of JUNE

I look forward in June to our wonderful strawberries. 

We got our rain yesterday and it was much needed.

Today is clear and we can get in the garden. In Maine we say "What is so rare as a day in June"

Flowers are blooming and the veggies are growing. It is a wonderful time.

I may even break down and get myself an ICE CREAM today.
