The old saying is so true! How time flies when you are having fun...on Hupper Island. The Summer was AWESOME! The addition is all but done and if I must say so myself...it looks fantastic. So many people to thank and who had big parts in this true labor of love. JoAnnne and Jerry have been awesome, coming up every chance they could WORKING on their vacation and always right there with suggestions, solutions, picking colors and SUPPORT! Rob and I have certainly put alot of heart, soul, blood and sore muscles into this project and have learned alot. Rob, of course, designed this project from start to finish. His knowledge, logic, talent, problem solving abilities and dedication, just never ceases to amaze me. July brought the Anderson/Milbourn families together for the big event. Cooking the 1st meal in our new kitchen, all together! We had a great week together, working, hiking, clamming, visiting, boat riding and just enjoying the time. Of course the annual Hupper Island 4th of July picnic was a huge success. Lots of great weather, food, conversation and meeting new friends!
We were also lucky enough to have some good friends come for a visit. Terri & Lyman (our crusing buddies) and John, Judy and Janna from Texas. And spending time doing some of the "home-town" activities...Lobster Festival, St. George Days, Rockland's Boat Show, wine tasting, Camden Harbor & Arts Festival, lots of hiking around Hupper and visiting with our neighbors.
Rob and I have decided to stay 1 more winter, here on Hupper and continue the next phase of the project...rennovating the old kitchen into a laundry room, bathroom and bedroom in the main house. Be sure to check out our photo gallery, as I tend to post more pictures than write about our adventures.
We head to Acadia National Park to view the fall foliage, so no doubt more pictures will be posted later this month.... Enjoy your fall and thanks to all of you for following our adventures!
