Here is a picture of the coast line of Maine.  It was rough and cloudy and cool.  But ,lovely weather for touring.  We were able to walk clear out on this set of rocks due to low tide.  Sluggy took pictures of seagulls and they pooped for her.  She just has a way with birds.  We saw wood trees that had been crushed between these rocks and formed into a different kind of black stone.  The earth is very interesting.  Every where we traveled something was different and unique.  We were able to buy an original painting of a bird for our son in law for Christmas.  He is an avid birder.  We had it shipped and it arrived before we got home.










 Of course I had to get my picture taken by the large cow up by sluggy's place.  I don't know why it is here as I saw no dairy's or cows around.  But large animals and statues are just a thing in America.     When you travel with Slug and I you must stop and have your picture taken with any and all weird public attractions.








     Well I did get the bills paid yesterday and $500.00 more put on the house principle.  I can do another $500.00 later this afternoon after the babies leave.  I also did 5 loads of laundry and got all the linens done for the renters room.  I have not dusted wiped down or vacuumed the room yet and I still have to deep clean the bathroom. 

     I took a 5lb chub of burger out to make meat balls (Swedish) I will freeze several bags.  Our renter also left large bags of frozen fruit and veggies and chicken breasts which I will get to use.  So score.  There are several large batches of bananas frozen so I will also make banana bread while I make meatballs. 

     The garden was way too wet to try and clean yesterday so it will have to wait.  Hopefully I can get to it sometime on Saturday if I am not to busy wasting time with my sister and girlfriends.  I also have to get  a prom dress and 7 pairs of pants done this afternoon while the little sleep.  I can cook with them as the oldest likes to help and I can put the little one in the high chair.

     The shop continues to stay busy and I will really have to get my butt in gear next Monday.  Right now other than have to I am still in a rather vacation mode.  Well it takes time to get my head on straight and figure out where I am going.  Usually it is in 6 different directions.  So everything is 1/2 done.

     If my Sissie was here she would keep me on the path of production.  I would not be wandering and 1/2 finishing things.  Oh well, it is what it is.

Do any of you experience a lull after you come home from vacation?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. I've been on a lull going on 7 weeks now-it has been that long since we have been back home, unbelievable. I bet your house will smell wonderful. I have frozen bananas and pumpkin. The kiddo needs baked good for a National Honor Society bake sale, so will teach her the ropes this weekend.

    1. That is the best way to do it. Also rice krispie treats wrapped individually sell great at these sales.

  4. I am very jealous of your trip with Sluggy. It sounds wonderful and I am so happy you were able to go. The hardest part of returning from vacation for me is getting back to cooking dinner, but you are so good you are cooking ahead already. But I have chili in the crock pot and pumpkin bread in the oven because I have not been on vacation :)
