Because I'm Cold

And to let you know I'm still alive.

I am.

Alive.

But cold.

Hoping to start blogging regularly again soon.

These pics were taken with a crappy point and shoot camera.

They were taken on our trip to Maine, in 2007.

Enjoy the images of a season gone forever.

Or at least another 8 months.

In Canada, anyway.

Maine Trip Monday

See?





I remembered.




And I am sticking with something.

Even though I am exhausted.


And blogging somewhere else, as well.







I have been away, and therefore neglecting this blog.





You can read about my adventures here.









 

Here?




You’re not going to get too much.





This two blog thing…..
I can’t do it.





So.






I got back, and my chicks had grown.
They are like real chickens now.








And my kids had a great time with Aunt Sarah.




You can see here.


And here.







Okay.





Back to Maine Trip.



As I said last week,
all my Mom’s family, or most,
was there.




And we all camped.







Here’s a picture of us all.

And that is it.





Hey! 





No complaining.







At least I stuck with something.






See ya tomorrow.

Maine Trip Monday

See what I did there?

I switched from “Vintage Monday”, because I was just posting pictures of our family’s trip
to Quebec and Maine.



And my sister is totally kicking my butt in that whole idea with her “Flashback Friday’s”,
posting pictures from, like, 80 years ago!!




Sheesh.


I can’t compete with that.







So, a new theme!!





Maine Trip Monday.






Let’s see if I can keep it up, shall we?



And this post needs a disclaimer.
Disclaimer: All photo’s were taken with my uber-crappy old camera, and any and all landscape shots you see were taken out the window of a moving 16 passenger Ford van.  And most often the window was closed.  And most likely Ford van was speeding.

.

Okay, carrying on.

All the pics today were taken on our free day in Quebec.

So, we toured around and acted like, well, tourists.

French waterfall

French bridge

French horse

French guy stuck in a rock…
Actually, this is some famous French Folk singer.

We stopped at a little “ciderie”, (Mom is that how you spell that?) which made cider.  You know, booze.  Kinda like a winery, except they use apples. 
They let us use the picnic tables in their orchard to feed the kids at, and it was lovely.
And they had this.

The inside retail area was beautiful.

They didn’t mind all the kids being in there, although the kids had been threatened on pain of death to BEHAVE, and the adults got to try some samples.  Yummy, yummy samples.  And then we bought enough  to last us almost the whole trip.  Well, at least till we got to Maine.

Where they sell booze in the grocery store.  The convenience store.  Every store, really.

But wait, I’m jumping ahead…..

  

Check out this awesome ceiling!!
Gorgeous, no?

And then we continues touring.

This was in someone’s backyard.

We stopped at a little Candy Shoppe, where they make the candy, package the candy,
sell the candy, all there.
It was awesome.



Each of the kids got to pick ONE item they wanted.





Here is their choices…

We left the vans at the Shoppe, and walked down along the St. Lawrence.

A ship coming in.  Or going out.
I don’t know which.

Ava.  “Mommy stop taking pictures and pay attention to ME!”

The end.
