My husband and I are on our way to dinner in the darling coastal town of Ogunquit.
It's Memorial Day weekend and he surprised me with five days in a cottage in one of the most picturesque and quaint towns of coastal Maine.
The cottage is a converted barn, three levels, two decks, one covered where we eat and one on the top level on which to sun. The place was rehabbed a few years ago. A large lovely multi-paned window with old wavy glass serves as the frontpiece to the living area. The kitchen is galley-style, fully equipped, the decor is early American and there are three bedrooms in the upper reaches of the barn all quite nautical in decor. Two bathrooms make this a perfect getaway right in the middle of a lovely little cove on a peninsula. Everyone walks or bikes or drives by on the street below.
The weather has been spectacular and promises to continue which is a great beginning to what we northern New Englanders hope will be a sunny and satisfying summer. Fingers crossed!
Can you guess what we're going to eat tonight?

I can't think of a nicer place to spend this Memorial Day weekend. I remember once, when my husband was stationed at Hanscom Field, MA, and a member of the aeroclub, we rented a Cessna and flew to Bar Harbor, Maine for an overnight stay. It's the only time we had lobster and steamers for lunch and for dinner. Total, wonderful decadence!
At 65, I've done it! My poetry book - Life's Journey by Carmen Henesy - is out on Amazon!
( Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )
