Our Last Monday here in Maine.



We had a big adventure this morning.    Yesterday his electric shaver broke and so we had to get up very early this morning, before sun up if you can believe that, and went to Walmart to get him a new shaver.  We were supposed to go in and get out quickly, but he stood there for a long time comparing the shavers.  I guess men do those kinds of things…………it is a BIG decision to make.
So we got the shaver and the mist had lifted off the bridge and we could see to get home.  When we left for the Archives, the sun was up and shining wonderfully on the trees in the front yard and I took a couple of really nice pictures of the event.
6 o’clock Charlie came by this morning but he was trapped between two not too fast moving cars and we could actually see him.  I bet he was steamed that he could not tear up the road the way he usually does.
At the archives today I finished off the January 1808 court records for the Court of Common Pleas and have started on the April term papers that seem to be orphaned in the box.  The records of this particular county are in disarray and hard to follow.  I have to write up how I do it and get it done as quickly as I do so that if anyone comes in they can follow along and help with the flattening out and writing up ready for digitizing.  We cannot humidify any more records this week due to the write up and the cataloging of the April term that Jeff humidified last week.
Bill went to the YMCA and I went over to K-mart.  That surely is a sorry little store.  There is insufficient staff and the merchandise is every which way and poorly displayed.  It is amazing that they are still in business.  But then, WalMart is up on the hill along with all the rest of the stores and so K-Mart has the downtown all to itself and it does fill a need I suppose.
We went to Line Dance class tonight.  This is our last class here in Augusta but we intend to continue with the line dance group in the Community Center.  They announced that it was our last night and they had cake etc. for both that and the birthdays for this month.  Many people came up to us and said that they will miss us and that they were glad that we came and were a part of them.  We are glad that we went to class with them as well.  The new line dance class at the high School begins tomorrow night and I would love to go but we have to assemble our stuff so that it is not left to the last minute.
 Thursday night is the last of this blog.  I will have another blog started but it will be accessed only by invitation.  It has been a fun thing to do the blog – a way to jell out what happened or interested me for the day.
