Birthday In Maine....

 We spent my birthday in Maine.  It was such a beautiful day.  My mom and I wearing nearly the same color, oh well, I am past worry about wearing the same color as someone else in my group!

 The tide was out - we got to walk a long way on the shore to the water!  It was cold on my feet, but I loved it!

 The Maine coast is so stunning...

 All of these photos were taken by Lindsay...

 Lindsay took this photo outside of one of the LL Bean Stores today.  What?  You are surprised we went there?  Silly...wait until you see what I got at the LL Bean Home Store!

 We stopped at a beautiful lake to meet a sweet new blogging friend...

 Vee!  She and her husband John brought homemade cookies and some lovely apple cider!  Look at my lovely traveling hair...sigh.  I try but it my hair has a mind of it's own.  Vee is very nice and it was nice to talk with her and to give her a hug!  I also gave her a big hug from Becky.

 This is were we hung out - beautiful isn't it?

 Isn't this a stunning photo?  Lindsay has such a wonderful eye...

 Do you see this hat that Sarah is wearing?  It is really one of Vee's great tea cozies!  I love it!  I was hoping she might gift me with one!

 She also gave me one of these delightful disappearing nine patch squares.  She is very talented...and I am so happy to have these lovely gifts.

 Our friend Denny, who is on our trip with us, along with my Mom and Dad, gave me a LL Bean gift card and I knew right away what I would get!  This wonderful red plaid wool throw blanket!  I love it!

 And after a wonderful dinner at a delightful restaurant tonight I got this beautiful bracelet...

And these pretty, sparkly earrings!  I told Tim I don't know where I will wear these earrings, but they are so nice I just may wear them while I do dishes! 

Tomorrow we head to New Hampshire - we got a glimpse of the White Mountains early this evening, and we will end up in Vermont.  

I'll make sure Lindsay takes more great photos so you can share the beauty of our trip with us!
