I won't lie-the past several months have been challenging. Ms Maks has been
MS Maks. Add to that, the aging and arthritic body is just really not liking much of anything......well, considering the alternative, I'm still here, albeit slower and more pain ridden than I have been. Things take me longer....but that doesn't mean I don't have ideas....
It sits on Doubling Point in Arrowsic, on the Kennebec, across the river from the Plant Memorial Assisted Living Home and within sight of Bath Iron Works.
Red, white, and blue seems to be the colors of choice for Sue Solakian, an ardent supporter of Wounded Warriors and all things American. I recently saw a photo of Doubling Point Lighthouse on TripAdvisor and thought....hmmmm! The long fenceline leading up to the building spoke to me of quilts hung on a line to dry, or in this case, Sue's afghans displayed in their patriotic, and thusly nautical, splendor.
To be honest, the shoot was harder than I'd imagined it would be, and though it's an extremely isolated spot, I was fortunate to have some volunteer help getting things back to the car.
Do I look wiped? Probably because I am. Several rests along the way were needed to get me back to the car, but get back I did, and found my way out to the highway and on the road home.
It's never a dull moment in Crochet Land, but methinks it's naptime now!
The good news about being rather lame these days is that I only toyed with the idea in my brain at ignoring the DO NOT CLIMB LADDER sign.
Still....this is what was playing in my head as I dragged myself back to the car....
