Company arrived in Bangor

My sister arrived in Bangor today.  Her fight was to arrived at 11:30 am but was late and we did not leave the airport tell about 1:00 pm.  Betty's phone decided to lock itself and we could not get it to work.  Stop at Best Buy and they tired but not luck.  They called AT&T and they could not fix it and then check with Samsung and still no go.  She ended up buy a Go Phone for $10.00 and transferring the Sims card.  Seems to be working.

I left the campground (in the rain) around 6:15 Am and we did not get back tell 7:00pm.  Partly because I got pulled over for speeding.   The last ticket I got was more than 25 years ago.  Wow, the policeman followed us for several miles (we did not know) then another cop came and got us pulled over.  The first cop was in an un marked car and his lights did not work.  Well, their is more to the story but my 30 minutes of Internet will not allow any more talk.......Bye for now

It is nice to have my sister here.  I feel great.

Company in Eastport, me

Only have a few minutes of Internet connection, so here goes.

Connie and Dave drove down from Houlton, ME.  What a fun couple.  Jackie and Walt (we meet at the rally in Goshen) are here and treated us all to a camper breakfast.  We made omelets in zip lock bags.  Fun and really good.  Connie said she learn a lot, never knew about this style of life.

My sister Betty will arrive in Bangor Wed.  I am looking forward to spending time with my sister.

Bye this campground is fixing to cut my connection.

Eastport me....still no internet

Having a blast here on the east coast.  Saw Reversing Falls, the tides are 20 feet up and down.

No internet connection.  This has to be very very short.  Later

Seaview Campground, Eastport, ME

Back in the states.  Still can not use my smart phone or mifi or this campgrounds wifi.  Verison wants to lock on a Canada tower so it is roaming.  Talked to Verizon and that is hopeless.  Although during my many conversations with the seaview Campgound owners they assured me they had wifi, that isn't what is happening.  If you need to be connected at all, do not come to this campground.  It is beatiful here, if we where just here for a couple of days things would be OK.

Today I have come to the Easport, ME, public library to check my emails and post to my blog.  Wow, wifi and internet can work!!!!!  This building was built in 1895, wonderful high ceilings and wood moldings typical of those times.  I can 'feel' the history and warmth.  I love it.

From the years of 1962 thru 1970 I was employed at the Ascension Public Library.  Even offered the librarian ship when the new  building was built.  I put the first card-ex together in Gonzales and was issued the second library card that fit in the electric stamper thing they used.  I was almost 12 when they started paying me (from the late charge money).  I made 25 cents an hour and worked 2 hours  every afternoon and on Saturaday mornings.  I had more money than any of my classmates.

Craig is on his way to pick me up and we plan to walk around downtown Eastport, ME.  Jackie and Walt will join us.  We first meet Jackie and Walt in Goshen, IN, at the HRRRC maintenance session rally.  Wonderful, fun couple, they have traveled from central CA.  This couple first meet here, on the east coast, some years ago. 

Poor Internet connection

We are on Prince Edward Island, CA. Atlantic time zone, I didn't even know about this. We turned our phones off so my Mifi is disabled and the wifi connection here at the Cornwall KOA is slooooooow.

Walked in Will and Kate's' footsteps in Charlottetown. Wow, what fun.

Will post more when we return to Maine, July 18th.

Bye for now.

Sunday bunch

Just hanging around the campfire and visiting with neighbors. But I did decide I wanted to eat the buffet at the Hollywood Slot's Casino, here in Bangor.

Looked on the net and they have a lunch buffet, and dinner buffet, but this was a bunch. No price listed on the net so I thought it would be the lunch price of $9.99. Well it was not, they wanted $19.99 per person. No thank you.

We went to Tim Horton's, now I know a lot of people know about Tim Horton's. But not the people from the south. I wanted to try it. Being from Louisiana I like my Louisiana coffee. I have to say, Tim Horton's coffee was great. I ordered just plain coffee. The lady behind the counter had to repeat that back to me. Also had a chicken salad sandwich (not good) and a Boston Cream donut (very good).

Tomorrow will be fireworks.. See ya
