Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! 1Chr 16:10

We got a late start last fall.  The night before we were scheduled to splash Paperbird, Greg discovered that he had developed a hernia. After surgery and the appropriate recovery time, spent in our camper at the Outer Banks walking the beach, we finally started south the first week of November. We arrived in Wrightsville… Continue reading Fall 2022 to spring 2023

On the way back south from Maine, we decide to pause and explore a bit of south central PA. We found a small rural campground close to Shippensburg and Chambersburg.  Unfortunately, we were a day late and missed the big antique tractor show.  We did notice that the campground was pretty full but emptied out… Continue reading Life on John Deere Way

Who can resist a town with a name like Skowhegan with a campground right at the confluence of 2 rivers. As we were checking in to the… Continue reading Maine State Fair

Jim was on hand, as he usually is, to walk us through some of the exhibits and to spin a yarn or 3. He… Continue reading Sail, Power and Steam Museum

In 1903 Wes moved the mill to it’s current location enabling Raye’s mustard to… Continue reading Sightseeing small towns of eastern Maine

One of the joys of traveling is the opportunity to visit churches along the way. It’s a delight to experience worshipping with others and to hear God’s Word preached by different teachers. Of course, the best part is meeting other Christians in those churches. While in Lubec, we found a small (<20) congregation in a… Continue reading A boat ride

Beautiful Maine!! Lubec is the eastern most town in the US on the Bay of Fundy. There are bumper stickers that say “The real Maine starts east of Ellsworth” We understood the saying as we worked our way up the coast. The crowds went away, the weather cooled off and the pace slowed considerably. We… Continue reading Lubec Maine

Summer in the mid-Atlantic is hazy, hot and humid. So off to Maine we went!   Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse Maine   Maine seems to have more than it’s fair share of ice cream shops. And, of course, we had to sample many of them to compare! Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse, Rockland Maine. An amazing hike… Continue reading Maine summer 2022
