Musing Wednesday...Yes, I Know It Is Suppose to be Monday!


Casco Bay, Maine

Yes, it is way past Monday, in fact it is Wednesday Thursday, but I am on vacation again. I am in New Brunswick Canada this time, salmon fishing (the fishing is awful but I am having a great time!), so I am just now turning on my computer for the first time in days.
So better late than never!
Today question, via the ever musing Just One More Page...

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about library company…

Who, if anyone usually accompanies you to the library? Is it somewhere you go alone? Or is it a regular outing with family or friends? Which do you prefer?


Well, when I was a wee Caite, I went with my mom, as I have talked about here in the past. A nice memory. But now...well, I rarely go to the library, but if I did, I would go alone quite honestly. I see books as a solitary pastime. Hmmm...odd comment for a book blogger?...lol
Really, when picking books, at the library or at a bookstore I would prefer to be alone. Ok, actually I usually I just prefer to be alone most of the time.
But when I am looking at a book and trying to decide if it is something I might like, I want as little distraction as possible. I want to read the back of the book, maybe the first few pages and see if this story grabs me, if I am lured into the story. So it is not a time to chat I think.
And so as not to appear rude, best I just go alone.

Speaking of alone, it is my last day here fishing in Canada and I will start my trek home tomorrow. A day traveling south to an undetermined point in New England and then home on Saturday...and back to work that evening. But first, let's see if we can find another pictured for you, to go with the one taken on the way up at Casco Bay in Maine on the 4th of July.

A Car, A Lobster and the Open Highway!

You might have noticed that I love these rather silly quizes. Well, I do! So here, from Cathy at Kittling Books is another one. BTW, Cathy is a train it seems...




You Are A Car



You're the type of person who likes to do things your way. You're a little stubborn.
You're very expressive and a true individual. You don't like to compromise.

You are a very private person. You value your alone time.
While you may seem self centered to some, you are actually very cooperative when you need to be.



A Car! Imagine that...Private, alone time, self centered. So very true! ;-) and so fitting since I am outta here, bright and early (actually still dark and very early) this morning, heading for a week at places north. Yes, I know I just got back from vacation, the Great Alaska/Yukon Adventure, but I am leaving again.

I am going to Canada, New Brunswick to be exact, to visit a friend and her husband and to go fishing. Fly fishing for the great salmon. And one day I might actually catch one if I could only learn to cast well enough not to scare them away...
This morning I am heading to Freeport Maine for a couple of days. Staying in a nice (I hope) B&B, checking out a few lighthouses on the way, hoping the weather is good enough to allow the planned 4th of July Fireworks and town concert to go off.

Well, no matter the weather, LL Bean will be open, 24/7/365. And lobster rolls don't care if it rains.
That is good enough!
