A timber frame home

Yankee Magazine is behind the construction of an amazing 3,500 square foot “timber frame” home in Gloucester. Although the home is owned by the builder, Jeff Amero, and will be sold by him, there are tours of the home going on throughout September, and the money raised from those tours will be going to the Cape Ann Food Pantry!

Driving in Maine

Margaret & I chose a different sort of vacation this time – 1000 miles of driving with no flights, airport delays, or other hassles!
We headed north into Maine, and spent “slow time” seeing beautiful scenery and enjoying fabulous weather! Most of our trip was up the coast, so there’s lots of pictures of harbors & coastal scenery. Such as Boothbay HarborCastineBar Harbor, and Acadia National Park.

Other great things included an out-of-the-way jigsaw puzzle store, and all the B&Bs we stayed in, the Kennebunk Plain – unusual since most of Maine is tree-covered – and the Penobscot bridge with aerial views from the top.

A great trip 🙂
