May 24 – 25,
Barb and Barry have been fantastic hosts. We've had so much fun learning about their many hobbies. They love classic cars, particularly Thunderbirds. Barry owns a vintage ’55 Thunderbird, a ’42 Woody Ford Station Wagon, a ’72 Lark travel trailer, a ’67 Ford Ranchero, a ’66 Mustang Convertible and a ’65 Mustang Fastback. He has lovingly restored these vehicles to mint condition. And they ARE beauties ! They also collect antique fly sprayers, gasoline pumps, and Pepsi and train memorabilia. You know how I love that train stuff.
Barbara is also an avid gardener. Her yard is a medley of colorful irises, rhododendron, petunias, geraniums and many other plants. We’ve enjoyed cooking together and eating out in the back yard in a gazebo that Barry built.
They took us to this unbelievable place called Jordans, that’s suppose to be a Furniture Store but it is known for it’s ice cream, trapeze shows, musical water falls and much, much more. What a treat!
May 25 , To the beach
Today they took us up the coast to see some Maine beaches. We got on the back roads, so I enjoyed seeing the old Victorian homes and little villages. Barb’s favorite lighthouse is the Nubble (Cape Neddick) Lighthouse in York, ME. After touring the coastline, we met up with some of our other NELD (NorthEast Lazy Daze) friends for supper at the Cracker Barrel.

May 26-27
Today Barb had a Dr.’s appointment, so I drove her into town to the doctor and I did a little shopping for our trip ahead.
We’ve all had a grand time together. Seems that we’ve known them for years but just found each other this week. It was a sweet time I’ll always remember. Thanks Barb and Barry!
