Directory June 27, 1999 Archives

Last Monday was the solstice (and the Times-PicayUnity's one-year anniversary--jeez, I've been doing this for a year). We had no guests Sunday night, so we took a one night away adventure, drove downeast to Jonesport, stayed in a tourist cabin in Jonesboro, wandered up to Campabello, the summer cottage (18 bedrooms) of FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt. It's just over the border in New Brunswick. Hiked around Quoddy Point, the easternmost place in the U.S. The trails go along cliffs over the ocean. And on the way, in Harrington, I walked through the biggest field of lupin I've ever seen. There was a sharp clean floral smell in the middle of that field. Ate fried haddock in restaurants unchanged since the fifties. Ocean air is cool and fresh, and the light is different.
Let's see now, one of these is Campebello and the other is the cabin we stayed in. Tricky...
Latest visitors from way south are Ruth and Phillip, Ani and Elise from Abita Springs. In fact they're still around here somewhere, maybe Nova Scotia; we expect them back through any minute.
