Lunch and Laptop

Hello! I'm backkkkkk! :) I got my laptop back from the technician at Staples. I always go there for the annual software updates and anti-virus upgrades. I get a report saying how much smoother my laptop should run and all that jazz. I got my laptop home and for some reason it is running a tad bit slower than what I'm use to. Maybe it will self-adjust over the weekend, maybe I'll bring it back to see if I can get more fine tuning out of it. Not sure yet. Moving on....... :)

This morning I went to the gym. I did a 4 mile walk in 90 minutes....the highest my heart beat went up to was 146 beats per minute......that's a pretty solid workout for me......and, of course, I got my Dr. Oz TV show in at the same time :) I hope to go back again tomorrow, but I have some errands and appointments to catch up with before the weekend.

This afternoon, Mom, Dad, and I, (too many commas??) went to Hebert Brothers Seafood in Kittery, Maine. My Mom had heard that they have a special on Wednesdays for $5.00 lobster rolls. So Dad and I each ordered one (mine with no mayo) and Mom ordered chicken tender basket. Well, when Dad and I finished our lobster rolls, we had to order another one! Order UP - Two More!!!! :) They were so good.....I would definitely go back. Definitely worth the trip! I got pictures! :)

Here we are!!! It's a restaurant and deli. Very nice people.....

Here's they deli case. See those crab cake on the bottom, Dad took two home for $3 dollars each. Not bad!

Here's the restaurant area. No waitress...you order at the counter.....

We sat in the corner, we were the only ones there at 2:30pm

Here is my lobster roll (with no mayo)....hey, I can get a better picture than that....hang on....

There it is!!! Doesn't that look good! I mean, the picture Does say it all! :)
So that was a nice road trip. I can see Hebert Brother's Seafood doesn't have a detailed website or twitter account yet, but at least it gives the address.

Oh the way back home, Staples called me and told me that my computer was ready to be picked up, so I picked that up along with some lottery tickets on the way home :) And here I am now, relaxing. I hope you have a nice night too! :)

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 menu

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!
