Bow Rotary Meeting and our adventures with John

Our first presentation was at a Breakfast meeting at Bow Rotary Club. With 68 attendees (including visitors and GSE blow-ins), we gave our first presentation. With laughter and many oohhs and aahhs, the presentation was well received (even Teresa with not much voice was able to be heard :])

After our Bow Rotary meeting, we got in the van and headed out to Maine and Portsmouth with John Lyford our trusty driver and tour guide. On our way, the 4 crazy Australians, dipped our toes into the Atlantic Ocean. It was a bit chilly or should I say invigorating!

When one goes to Maine - Lobster must be on the menu. Teresa put on the bib and cracked a good size Lobster for lunch. Amanda had Lobster pie, David had a seafood platter and Robyn had Chicken and Pasta.

For dessert we went to Yummys a candy store, where David was mega disappointed that there wasn't any chocolate Garden Gnomes.

After some quick fire outlet shopping (Amandas credit card had the most damage) along the way, a stop at the Kittery Trading Post (where we got to see a huge stuffed moose and I brought a face scarf and mask made out of Turtle fur) we headed back to the pickup point (Hampton Inn). The staff at the Inn will think we are doing daily drug drop offs.

Amanda and Teresa continued their shopping at a local supermarket - way too much chocolate was purchased to bring home. Even Weight Watchers Chocolate Turtles.

As I type, we are having a 'Pot Luck' dinner at Chris Parkinson (District Governor of D9690) with some great desserts and even a broccoli and walnut salad. A very tasty dish.

Well I am off to sing Waltzing Matilda now - even with no voice.

Love to everyone at home.
