"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Lunch Date

Paul and I had a lunch date today and I'm taking you along. Paul made lobster rolls and we took them to Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth.  

It was a spectacular summer day for a seaside lunch....and Paul picked a perfect spot.

This was the view to the side from our table.


And this was the view ON our table. It made me smile knowing Susan's found joy in the ocean. I hope her family continues to come to this table for lunch!


After lunch we walked the paths.


We happened upon a wedding down on the rocks.


The trails follow the coastline then circled us back to where we started.


We stopped at Willard Scoops for a treat.....


...and finished off our date at Bug Light Park.


Portland Harbor was busy with boats of every shape and size including a massive cruise ship that was docked across the harbor. Thanks for coming along!

    Thank you for taking us along, MaryAnn! Our picnic tonight was at Tuck's Point in Manchester-by-the-Sea's outer harbor, with a walk between two of Landmark School's North Shore properties. No photos, sorry!!

      Oh how fun! I've been to Manchester-by-the Sea.....but not certain I've been to Tuck's Point. Again...aren't we lucky to have such special places to have a picnic! And it's fun that it's between two Landmark School properties!

    What a lovely day to be outside having lunch with a friend! I also loved your mini striped quilt in Patty's little art gallery in the previous post!! Today I went thrifting with a friend in Topsfield and Essex, MA. It was nice to get out, shop, and have a lunch at a funky diner. So good to get together with friends, isn't it?
