While I was in Vermont I had organized to visit Darcey (camp’s cook), Tony (her hubby) and Oliver (their little boy) in Maine. They live in a town with the funny name of Bowdoinham which is actually pronounced Bow-(like a bow tie) din-hm.
Or something like that.
Karen and I drove up on Monday and met Darcey as she was just about to take her puppy Bea out for a walk. Darcey and Tony got Bea towards the end of camp and while she is still a puppy she has changed so much in the last few months.
It almost looks like they have traded her in for another dog.
At two and a half Oliver is talking his head off now - not that I really understand everything that he is saying but he sure is talking a lot. So I just did what I do with Liam and nod a lot and say “Really? Wow that sounds great.”
So we caught up with everything that had been happening since camp, talked about camp and then drove to a cute little town called Freeport. This is where Tony and Darcey work - at a restaurant in a hotel. Before we had dinner we walked around and looked in some shops and Karen was soooooo excited to find they had an English shop. She bought up big in chocolate and lollies from England - they even had real Cadbury chocolate (I must admit that I bought a few things too). You can buy Cadbury in America but it’s not real. It’s made by Hersheys and their chocolate is yuck! So if you happen to be in the States and have a hankering for a block of that good old “glass and a half” and find it in the supermarket, check the back to see where it is made before you buy it. Or you will be very disappointed.
We had dinner at the restaurant (whose name escapes me - strange saying that one, when you actually think about it) and I ordered ribs with corn bread. The ribs were huge and also came with beans and coleslaw. Talk about super size me! Needless to say I couldn’t get through it all.
But unfortunately, I gave it a darn good try.
