Proof.

I have been busy. If you can, pick up the new copy of Maine Home + Design to see my article on a beautiful waterfront cottage on Islesboro.

Oh. Hi There.

Aren't sunsets here so pretty?



Alright. No excuses. I have been so busy here. I thought I was supposed to be living the easy life but alas, now that summer is winding down and the blessedly cool evenings are upon us, it finally is starting to feel relaxing. My waitressing gigs are dying down, I've finished four articles in two weeks AND I was able to sneak in a visit to Connecticut to see family. I'm exhausted.

I have a wedding coming up this weekend that I am super stoked about. I can't wait to post photos of an island weddng, because they are unlike any other.

Other than that, I miss you all. I am so sorry I've been bad at keeping in touch. It's not you, it's me.

Lung Fest.

I know, I know. It's been too long. I apologize. Sometimes life gets a hold of me. Or rather, deadlines take hold of me. Two weekends ago was LUNGFEST! The music festival that first brought me out to this little island last summer. It was the last one but the performances were awesome. I had a great night watching Lobsterman and all our friends perform while I danced the night away. Here are some highlights. Anyone want to see a video of Lobsterman singing?!

Feelin' Crabby.

Literally. We cooked up some lovely pinky toes (which are a type of crab - apparently the tastiest) with some beers and watched the sun set.







While Lobsterman lost at yet another scratch ticket. Sigh.

A Glimpse.

This coming weekend is LungFest - a fantastic music fest that lasts all day. My Lobsterman will be singing and playing along with many other amazingly talented and cool people. Plus my best friend will be here. Since the countdown has begun it's been nonstop music and impromptu jam sessions in the house, like the one I caught here. I thought I was being sneaky but evidently they caught on.



(And please excuse the mess!)

Serving.

One of the many jobs I have on the island is waitressing here. The restaurant overlooks the water and you have to walk through a boat yard to get to it. It's the most popular restaurant on the island which means I make good tips every night. Which is probably why I've been there so often. My favorite meal is the surf and turf but my favorite order to take is popcorn shrimp because I like yelling "POP SHRIMP!" in the kitchen.

Sunsets.

I've seen a lot here - but I just can't get over them.
