Change Of Scenery

Paul and I are heading Down East tomorrow morning...we're spending a week on Cranberry Island near Acadia National Park.  In return for doing the Sunday service at the local church, we get a week in the parsonage. The change of scenery will be fun.

Our son Sam will be holding down the fort....he has a change of scenery too.  Lucky for us he has relocated from the Boston area back to Maine...and he is staying with us for the summer.  We are thrilled to have our whole family back in the same state.

So I've been busy doing house chores...and figuring out what to pack. Rather than start another big puzzle...I've pulled out some of my small ones over the past couple of days.  I love these little gems....and I have more.  They were the perfect little filler while I prepared for our trip. Maybe I'll do the rest of them when I get back. 

This one on the left was a gift from my sister Marilyn from her travels. The bottom two are from Philippa....I have several of her small ones.  I wrote about some of them here: https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2016/12/a-cup-of-coffee.html

There are no cars on Cranberry Island but apparently we have a golf cart to use.  There is one restaurant but no stores so we will be taking most of our own food.  I don't think there is internet at the house...but I know I will have access at a couple places on the island.  If I get cell service I will also have my hotspot.... so I do hope to be sharing little nuggets of this island adventure here on the blog.

We will park in Manset...and take a ferry to the island.  

I think a changes of scenery will be good for both of us.
