Last Night and Today

I'll put what we did last night in this blog along with what we did so far today! :)

Last night we went to a little ice cream shop a little drive away from where we live........I love soft vanilla ice cream and splurge a tad on the rainbow jimmies......it was a little pricey at $3.54, but I know it's the "season".......of course I got a picture.....

Another wonderful Blackberry picture.....it was melting fast!

After getting ice cream, we drove over to the boat launch ramp and watched the boats drive by on the river. There's tiny park there, so we walked Jake around....

He's looking happy tonight......naturally! :)

Oh, I think he found something......

What's in there????

In the evening, there's quite some action with people taking their boats out of the water.......alot of drivers have a hard time backing an empty trailer down the ramp to collect their boat.....

Many people have their boats in the water

Some people bringing their boats in towards the ramp

 

People getting ready to bring their boats out of the water

Like this picture below who I was there when the driver cranked the steering wheel so far to the right and jack knifed the truck and trailer, picking up the trailer's right side off the ground with the help of the rear bumper.......see I got a picture of the dent on the bumper........

See the dent in the bumper.....that's from jack knifing the trailer into it

Okay, the driver finally made it with no additional damages....

Okay, this morning we woke up a little cause we knew it was going to be super hot out later this morning and this afternoon.......so we went blueberry picking in Goffstown again......I ate the rest of the blueberries we previously picked, so it was time to go back.......

This is the place in Goffstown that we go blueberry picking

We park and go here to get our buckets to go picking

So many blueberries.....so little time..... :)

Where do we start picking??

I think I'll take some of these......

And some of these.....

Plenty to pick.....didn't take us long....

We come back to the little shed and cash out.....

Last time we got 3 pounds, this time we got almost 5 1/2 pounds!

 Then after we got home from blueberry picking, Jake needed a bath (no his choice, mine LOL) so in the tub he went.......not a happy camper at all......he doesn't like baths.......he cringes even at the word "Bath"

"Are you going to help me get out of here?"

"I wonder how much longer this will take?"

"Okay, I did my time.......let me out!!!   I'm soaked!!"

"I smell pretty good, but I hate being clean....."

"Yeah, we really done?"

So that is our day today so far.......tonight there is an Ice Cream social for the neighborhood at a local restaurant (walking distance), so we will be going there tonight around 7pm. Until then I'll be on the sofa watching TV and relaxing......bug ya later! :)

York Beach, Maine

I'm still learning how this whole BlogSpot blog platform works......being a Wordpress user for years, I have only been on BlogSpot for less than a week and I'm still working out the kinks (mostly on my part) to use this more fluently. I'm trying different sizes and positions on pictures so just bare with me as I explore the BlogSpot options and features. :)

Last night my puppy and I stopped by a friends home for BBQ and social time......it's always nice to see friends.....always make time to see your friends......I can see the puppy was in Stealth mode last night.......OH, another thing, don't you love my new camera - it's soooo much better than my Blackberry camera....I love it!

Stealth Mode.....you can't see meeeeee.........

Here he is in his little pet hammock. Yes, they are made for small pets and you can
buy them at Camping World for about 20 something dollars (I forget exactly how much)

Today my Mother, Sister and I ventured over to York, Maine. My Mother is orginially from there so we are very familiar with the area since I've spent many, many summers there at my Grandmother's home in the York Village. Today we saw the beach was really busy......

Then we went and walk around the visitor's center at the Nubble Lighthouse.....

A lady was making a rug watching people walk by. We stopped to say Hi to her and she said that she had been working on that rug since November.....

Decided to try my new camera to up close to some flowers

Then we drove down to York Village downtown and ate lunch at the Goldenrod's restaurant which I haven't been to in years......so it was nice to go back again.....

Parking was scarce so we parked near the York's Wild Kindgom,
but didn't go in there today....

This is the Goldenrod's restuarant we had lunch at.....

The placemat

The Goldenrod, they make their own taffy candy

This is the machine that blends the taffy together

Across the street there is a Bowling Alley and an Arcade
place at the end. The Surfside is a store to buy souvenirs

Alot of little stores surround the village area and is easy to walk to

Hmmmmm,should I buy a t-shirt?

On the way back home we stopped at a Blueberry side stand (we actually know the person that owns this place) and bought some blueberries. We didn't stay very long but checked it out (the person that owns this wasn't around at the time we stopped by) It's called Little Pond Farm and they only sell blueberries. They are at 53 Depot Road, Route 107, East Kingston, New Hampshire.

Well that was my day today. Tonight I've got dinner with a friend (I can't wait because it more social time and I love great company), so I won't be back on tonight. My active and social life just lifted with all my free time since I've become unemployed and I sure can't complain..... :) Have a nice night!
