Awake: 7:15am Temp 42 sleep 6:15 sunny overnight @
Boothbay, Maine.
My goal today: clean the outside of the house. It’s a little nippy this
morning so I wait until 10:30 to get started. 1st on the roof…..that takes
about an hr; then Kathy works with me for the rest of the afternoon
without taking a break. @ 5:00pm, we finally come to our senses & stop.
We’ve done enough for today & only the top of the front cap of the
motorhome remains to be cleaned. So we change clothes, clean up a little &
drive into Boothbay Harbor (12 min south) & tour around the town. Earlier
this morning, Kathy inquired about the nearest Catholic Church & Mass
times so we casually find that church & spot the place to eat some fresh
lobster after Mass. I was suspicious when finally parking in the church
lot for 6:30 Mass……the lot was rather full for us being 15 min early. Then
we find out, we were 45 min late. Vigil Mass was 5:30. We joined in
singing the ending hymn & decided to return again for the full Mass
tomorrow morning.
Just across the street was the Lobstermen’s Co-op; the place to eat
lobster recommended in our travel guide. 7:30 dinner: fresh Lobster &
coleslaw. The freshest we’ve ever eaten. It’s messy but soooo good. We
make a grocery stop en route back to our campsite.
(3) Newell motorhomes arrive today; that makes (5) in the campground so
far for the Monday rally to begin.
Late night satellite movie: “The Green Mile” with Tom Hanks, David Morse,
Bonnie Hunt, Michael Clarke Duncan, James Cromwell, etc. An elderly man
recalls the incident that changed his life, in 1935, when he supervised
Death Row @ a Louisiana state prison & encountered a gentle black behemoth
played by Duncan with an unusual gift. 1999. A little slow @ times but the
casualness of the men is amusing. Popcorn accompanied our double feature
tonight.
