This is the first year we have been here for the whole months of April and May. It is amazing watching the trees come to life. And we had a few beautiful flowers pop up aa well. Here are a couple photos (before the deer decided to have a snack):
We have two birthdays in May. Lou follows me by 8 days. I was not creative in the gift department, but did arrange a nice dinner at the Youngtown Inn. This is another of our favorite restaurants in the area.
We started with appetizers and salad … yummy.
Lou chose the lamb chops. A benefit of dining out. He gets one of his favorite foods and doesn’t have to be concerned that it is one of my least favorite … although these looked almost good enough to eat:
I chose the stuffed filet of sole … stuffed with scallops and crab. Rather amazing.
So that covers dinner. One point to note -and I know it is perhaps crass to talk $$ when describing dining experiences. A five course prix fixe chef’s choice dinner here is $50. Hartstone Inn was $55. We are amazed at the quality of food we can get here in Maine.
Dinner … there was no question I would go with my stand by … Grand Marnier Soufflé. Lou surprised me and also chose the Soufflé … the raspberry one. It came out with a sparkler to celebrate his post Medicare birthday:
So that was our evening. The folks here are so nice, and we always enjoy an evening at the Youngtown Inn.
Stitch is … well, Stitch is many things. He is a character, a snuggler, a Cookie Monster, and more. He is also photogenic and tends to get more photos taken than does Natasha (even though she is my favorite :j )
This may be my all time favorite Stitch photo. He had had a very busy day, following Teresa (who takes care of our house and is Stitches best friend ( is it Stitch’s or Stitches?). Anyway, Stitch was very very tired, because Kathy and Steve had been here as well. So … setting the stage … I was sitting down eating a pretzel, and he so wanted a bite … but he was just too tired to sit up and beg.
In addition to the nice dinner, Lou got quite creative for my gift. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but he knows I don’t like just any ol’ diamonds. Nope … I collect Astral Diamonds … an important currency in the video game I play. So, Lou got me some Astral Diamonds in a Treasure Chest !!! Awesome.
Lou treated me to a wonderful dinner at the Hartstone Inn in Camden. This is one of my favorite restaurants. Kathy and Steve helped us celebrate. This was a special birthday, and Lou wanted to commemorate my official welcome to Medicare. Thank you., Lou!!!
