I was up in Lubec tonight for Wags-n-Wool knitting night (they like to call it wool-n-w(h)ine )...and something miraculous happened! Well, something besides making awesome progress on my current knitting project.
I got out of my car, which was parked at the base (end?) of the Canadian/American dock (I love it....American flag on one side, Canandian flag on the other...we DO get along) and I looked out onto the water and saw this! (sorry, there is no zoom on my phone...)
In other news, I learned tonight that Wags-n-Wool will actually be closing for the winter in late November. Turns out they original plans to install a heating system in the store got set back so they won't have heat...AKA won't have an open store. So, somewhere late October to somewhere late April I will be without a Local Yarn Shop. Sad news :-( Good news is that Dee and Karen (the owners) promise to keep in touch and will sell from their homes. This is the second conversation in a couple days that I have heard from people starting to make preparations and plans for closing down for the winter in a couple months. Makes me really wonder what life will be like business-wise in the wintertime.
I also stopped and had dinner (I only eat dinner out once a week now, and breakfast once a week! The rest of the time I am cooking for myself!!) at Uncle Kippy's again...and actually was told I looked lonely at dinner tonight, which was funny because I was making a few lists in my little notebook. It is important to note, though, that this came from the late teenage/early 20-something hostess who is "forced to live in Trescott (next to Lubec) with my mom and her partner". The even funnier part was that she asked where my friend was (referring to Stephanie) and how my new job at UMM was going. SO, we just got to talking, and then she decided to bring her dinner over (the restaurant closed) over and eat with me.
Ah, small towns! I love it! Did I mention I love seals, too? They are SO HUGE!!! And evidently just before I got out there, there was a WHALE out there!!!!
