I bought some new shoes this week! First, I bought the blue Keens (on sale!) for walking and kayaking in Maine. Then, I spotted these ALegria's on sale at the neighborhood shoe emporium. My last purchase, today, had to do with the bench and dog attack in WC in May.....

FTLOC...the puss is in das boot! I kept thinking it was a bad sprain and that the swelling and pain would go away. Two months later, I finally saw an ortho PA and had extensive xrays, they slapped das boot on me and I return for an MRI tomorrow. Oh, joy...we leave for Maine on Friday! :roll: Guess, I'll sit around in the crisp air, enjoy the view and eat my fill of lobster!

I love this blog and for some reason I have been craving lobster for almost an week wonder why? I give his trip 5 boots and a lockout! Thanks for allowing us along for the ride.

Thank you! I have loved sharing this trip with all y'all! Kudos to my main biatch, swgb, he has not complained one time about all these random pics coming in and happily posts them! :wub:

Last morning in Maine. Savoring a cup of coffee out on the deck with a view of Camden Harbor. I am in disbelief that Mr. K and I took so long to discover this magical place. goodwitch and Mermaid (and Bob, although a bit late

)had sent me wonderful suggestions and first hand reports of finding the off the beaten path Maine. I read them again last night and can only say...our next trip will be even more fab! :clap:

When the pics of Acadia National Park go up (cell coverage was very spotty), I have another Kitty injury to report. :floor:

...Mr. K calls me the injury magnet.

Kitty, so glad you are enjoying Maine...injuries and all

It truly is magical. I always feel sad on the last morning, but isn't that harbor something?

Injury was minor...in fact, it made me feel young, again! I skinned my knee falling on the granite pathway down to the view (with shellphone in hand to take a pic!) of Thunder Hole* at Acadia National Park. Went down on right knee (I was w/o das boot, dammit) and luckily just bled profusely from a cut and have granite rash. A wonderful Amish couple helped me up and Mr. K (who was down at the view point) heard the commotion and knew before he turned around that I had gone down. :lol:

Got first aid at the gift shop (I was second victim in 10 minutes) and wound supplies (including, hydrogen peroxide, LuLu!) in Bar Harbor.

* ...this was my most anticipated stop, as the the ocean was to crash on the rocks and spray us with water! Pucking low tide! :angry: I now refer to this place as Thunder a-Hole. We had already driven to the top of Cadillac Mountain (in our Buick) for a total fog out and no views. :roll:

Bat Harbor was by far the most touristy stop for us (other than Old Orchard Beach, where we did not actually stop!). They do have great excursions because of their location....puffins, whales and a ferry to Nova Scotia!

We returned home yesterday afternoon. Mermy...another upgrade!

sarafunn is a most excellent dog/house sitter! :wub:

If you have the chance...don't delay...visit Maine, pronto! :clap:

edit: meant Bar Harbor, but I would like to visit Bat Harbor (maybe that is a place in Austin!)

MK, I don't know what to say...you're the most injury prone person ever, you poor thing.

Sounds like you need a vacation from your vacation. :wave:

Love the reports.

Silly kitty. Don't you know you can go onto YouTube and catch a dozen videos of Thunder Hole? You can experience virtual thunder under your next trip back to Maine...I know you're going back. :wub:

Jitty, is the skint knee and bad ankle on the same side? Are you lobbling along? Maybe the knee took the pain from the ankle.

Great ME reports~~~~~~~~~

What a great trip, now I really, really want to go to Maine... before this *blog* it was just one, non-italicized "really". And summer really isn't summer until your legs are covered in bug bites and skinned knees...

This is my favorite grouping of photos... You could sell these to Hallmark (or Cialis

) for major bucks and they'd have the makings for an awesome commercial. :funn:

Here's some champagne, sunset, and a card.

...WCW, you make Maine sound so romantic!

UPDATE: I toad you it hurt!!!!! MRI results are in...yep, it was broken...on the tip of the ankle bone. Das boot for at least two more weeks, after I walked on the sucker for 8 weeks. :lol:

Has anyone found that damm dog owner for me? I have a bill for $160.00 for drs. and supplies. The bill for pain and suffering is $68,220,041,810,009.23 (at least that is probably what some stupid court would give me

)

P.S. The weather in Dallas has been very Maine like this week. I still wish I were in Maine, though.

I thought that was somehow an allusion to bat mitzvah vs bat mitzvah. :idontno:

OMC, I am so dense that I didn't catch that there was a connection between the dog incident at Watercolor and the boot. So sorry that you are dealing with all of this.

I think you need a vacation in sowal so it can heal. We can make up the guest bed, but there's no beach club at Casa De Gaybois.

Does it come with a bell?

I think you have the best ideas, btw. :wub:

I am so pucking mad that I missed a great opportunity to milk this for all those weeks with Mr. K. :bang:

P.S. I hate forced tort reform. :floor:

I think she needs a vacay too--say about a week from tomorrow.

Kitty, what did Mr. K say when you told him it was really broken? Did he feel bad? Did you get the proper sympathy?

sent him an email with the details. here is what he sent back...

"probably will be late again"

...so wrong! he did apologize later, as he was on a conf call that had started 5 hours earlier. such a lame excuse.

Well damm, we all know that conference calls always take precedence.
