I'm Back!

Hello again,

We arrived back home last night after taking a little trip down to Maine. We had amazing weather the whole time we were there. We drove down to Kennebunkport on the southern coast of Maine. I thought I would share some of our journey with you.

The above photo and the four below are from a B&B we stayed at on the way down.

I liked the way it was decorated.

We walked on the beach- so different from ours with all the houses along the beach.

a more rugged coast line a little further down

We enjoyed lots of long walks

We also enjoyed walking around the town

I think this is very New England

They have many nice restaurants

with great food. Chocolate banana bread pudding for my sweet tooth!

I think I might get lost in some of the lovely big homes-I wonder if they have a dozen or more children!

I think this one is for sale-I love the ornate architecture of this one.

Some of these homes are in Kennebunk -neighbouring Kennebunkport.

This charming little shop got top marks from me for charm and they even had a little table set up outside with punch and sweets-how sweet is that!

Their window at night-we enjoyed walking the town at night also.

This is another charming shop- it looks like an English shop front to me.

If we got tired of walking we could take a horse and carriage.

Of course we also did some shopping.

One of these birdhouses had to come home with me-if you guessed the little church you would be right.

and then it was home sweet home again! We had a great time but it is always nice to come back home.

Tomorrow we are going to the attic for our Christmas decorations-I would be embrassed to tell you how many boxes are up there!

Thanks for visiting,

Carolyn

Christmas Past Once More

Life has been a little busy here lately so I am posting photos once again from the past Christmas. I will be getting into the swing of things next week and will be able to share new photos then. One of my daughter's has just moved into a new home and I have been having fun helping her and her family get settled in. I am hoping to share pictures soon. It does take awhile to make a house a home though doesn't it?

Anyway a few photos of our dining room decorated for Christmas last year.

These are just a few extra photos I threw in from around the house.

I hope you enjoyed another peek into the Christmas Past. Now ,I am taking a few days off -my husband and I are going on a short trip but I will be back next week all hyped for Christmas present. Speaking of present,I am so pleased to have a lot of my Christmas shopping done for this Christmas-early for me!

Hope you have a great week,

Carolyn
