So we're behind on blogging due to bad internet connections, but we wanted to make sure everyone knew of the nice people we have met in the last few days...
Pat Frazer in Boothbay, Maine: This sweet lady helped us at the Boothbay Harbor visitor's center. She was the cutest little lady - 82 years old and she has facebook and uses the internet all the time! She was so kind to us and got us great accommodations in Boothbay! She was our kinda grandma and if you are reading this Mrs. Frazer, add us to your facebook so we can be friends! Thanks for all you did for us in Boothbay.
Heather and Jessamy in Camden, Maine: They work at one of the cute shops in the harbor area of Camden and we just loved talking to them yesterday! Heather is from Maine and Jessamy is from England. Both super cute girls who told us stories of the local artists (one about a man who has only left his home island three times in his life - once to fight in WWII, once to visit a museum in Europe that was featuring his work, and now to stay in a retirement home). Jenny is mad that he had to leave his island home to go to a retirement home off the island - he didn't want to leave and someone in his family should have taken care of him ON the island which is where he wanted to be! Shame on them. He is 90 years old and still making cute buoys that he sells in this shop.
Kirsten, Tricia, and Suzannah in Boothbay, Maine: Kirsten came up to us while we were shopping in Boothbay Harbor, and told us we were really cute so of course we loved her from the start! She and two of her friends (who have 13 children between the 3 of them!) were here celebrating Kirsten's **th birthday and we had a blast talking to them and getting to know them! They loved our story, and we loved theirs, and hope they had a great time while they were here in Boothbay! These girls were soooo sweet, all Christian women, and not afraid to spread the word of God (we really liked that about them) and were from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Hopefully we'll become facebook friends and meet them along life's way again one day.
Adam Green in Boothbay, Maine: Adam works at both of the inns where we have stayed in Boothbay Harbor, and he has been a tremendous help to us! Not only did he get us into two great rooms when we were looking last minute, he helped carry mom's massive suitcase up stairs and used pliers to get one of those security tags off of one of my new dresses (after we convinced him it was the store's fault for keeping it on and we weren't mom and daughter con-artists!). Adam goes WAYYY beyond the call of duty for a hotel clerk and we just love him. He use to be in the mortgage business, lost his job and moved to the area to begin anew. We think Adam has found what he needs to be doing - he needs to buy his own hotel and stay in the business. He is a very kind man.
We've not met ANY mean people on this trip and we love all the nice people who have crossed our path!
Jenny & Emily....you won OUR nice people award for sure! We loved meeting you girls & hearing all about your adventure!
