On Monday, Davin spent most of the day with us and then headed back to Massachusetts to work with his consulting customers. We needed some groceries and other stuff so we went to Rockland for the grocery store and the drug store but first we had to take a walk along the waterfront in Rockland – more awesome views. On the way back home we stopped at a roadside seafood stand for some fried clams. It used to be that you could stop by any of these stands – and there were a lot of them – and just buy a half-pint of fried clams but no more. We had to pay almost full price for a clam dinner to just get the clams and they were not cheap but they were delicious.

Tuesday morning it was raining. I love sitting on the porch watching the rain fall – reminds me of being a kid in Massachusetts. After lots of coffee and some breakfast we headed out for Rockland again. More food was needed. This time we went to a farm stand and a local fish market. We bought fresh corn on the cob, tomatoes, potatoes and haddock for dinner. Diane cooked us some great baked fish and potatoes and we ate lots of real fresh tomatoes – not those plastic ones you get in the grocery store.

Tomorrow it is off to Ludlow, Massachusetts to see my other sister DuAnne and her husband Dick and my Brother Len and his wife Joanne. We will be staying at Dick and DuAnne’s house – the house I grew up in – but still in our GMC. My brother Len is a home builder and remodeler – his web site is www.snug-a-bug.com. He is always pretty busy but we enjoy having some good New England seafood together in the evening so I hope to see him at least a couple of nights.

We will be leaving tomorrow morning and I decided to not reinstall the air dam until we are out of this very narrow driveway that may have taken out the old one. I’ll put the new one on when we get to Ludlow.
