That sounds like an ideal vacation, your childhood Maine. *sigh* If you go back to the house, try not to get too sad!<BR/><BR/>I can't believe it is June, either.

Our family used to gather in Springfield, IL, every summer at my dad's parents' house, and it was a huge part of my childhood. They don't live there anymore, so I feel kind of lost as to how to give our kid(s) the same type of great memories of family and summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-20500281531357174032007-06-01T09:30:00.000-05:002007-06-01T09:30:00.000-05:00What great memories of your grandpa and other rela...What great memories of your grandpa and other relatives! I'm sure your Maine Adventure will be wonderful.<BR/><BR/>I really want to introduce "turn starboard" into the NYC vernacular. (Then again, my attempts to convince people to refer to the subway as "the underground choo-choo" have been unsuccessful.)<BR/><BR/>Finally, people love their gin-and-tonics. My dad had one every night for work when I was growing up (still does), so I cannot drink them! They smell too much like my dad.L Sasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852624970958809824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-61806163771392834762007-06-01T09:23:00.000-05:002007-06-01T09:23:00.000-05:00Those sound like wonderful memories.

I'm sure it will be fun to see the area again, if a little bittersweet.<BR/><BR/>Can't get with you on the gin and tonic, though. I just can't learn to like gin. Vodka and tonic, though--that I can do!lizgwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907508137794025189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-9703340440163287232007-06-01T08:34:00.000-05:002007-06-01T08:34:00.000-05:00Isn't that a beautiful area?

I lived in Portsmouth for a while, which was just a drawbridge (a drawbridge!) away from Maine. I thought the drawbridge was the coolest thing, except for when I was in a hurry and had to wait for it...3carnationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942247215569463561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-27746250346297972912007-06-01T08:33:00.000-05:002007-06-01T08:33:00.000-05:00Those Maine memories sound awesome.

I hope you have a fabulous time there again.<BR/><BR/>My friend Amy introduced me to gin & tonics about a year ago, and it's one of my new standby drinks as well. It's an especially good summer drink. Perfect for when you want something light and refreshing but not necessarily fruity and sweet.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128238432671375399noreply@blogger.com
