Tamarack Cottage

Day 2 @ Tamarack...

Started off the day with a headache...maybe the beds aren't as comfortable as I would've hoped. We went out (after a brief morning session assembling the Thomas Kinkade puzzle) for Bar Harbour. What beautiful weather, amazing scenery...the drive was absolutely amazing :) Mom and dad were so happy and I was happy that they were happy! We got off (parked the car by the docks) and walked around town. It was lovely. Mom bought her collectibles (spoons) and we strolled (w/ ice cream in our hands) , drove some more and ended up at a botanical garden of some sort. Stopped by the supermarket at Ellsworth then headed to the cottage.

Funny thing (well...not so funny), dad lost the keys to the cottage (both of them!). He claimed that he put them in his key chain and it must've fallen out somewhere. We were all freaking out. Here we were with groceries and since it was 4:30pm (we hadn't eaten lunch), we were stuck outside with hungry stomachs, giving dad dirty looks. Mom was fuming and I just felt bad for dad. The funny thing was my room (which is facing the entrance) window was slightly open. I remembered closing it this morning, after having opened it slightly the night before, because my room was so hot. Dad was hopeful as he tried opening it up more to see it a human body can fit there...Yup. It was big enough. I scraped a bit of my ankle, but we were able to get in! Mom was mad at me (can you believe that!) that I left my windown open and she was mad at dad for losing the keys. If you ask me, I think dad and I make a great team!!!

We finally got in and mom prepared sashmi/veggie rice meal, which was sooooooooo delish! We spent the rest of the evening eating, drinking, talking, watching T.V., and doing the puzzle.

My personal prayer: God, thank you for watching over our family. We are joyful to serve you and grateful that we're privileged enough to spend this time enjoying the beautiful, magnificent, awesome creation of nature. We're enjoying it and am amazed at your creativity. Thank you!
