I had been craving soft serve twist with sprinkles for a while. I got it at the Dairy Corner in Scarborough, ME. I will have to come back to try the maple soft serve. 

I've been busy this summer so I have been neglecting my garden but I got a surprise today when I checked it. A zucchini and blueberries were ready to be picked. :) 

Today I visited the Saco River Market. 

There were local vendors. I liked seeing the animals that were there today. It's a market that is there every Saturday year round. 

I am starting to look forward to Thursdays now because I spend the morning with my sister and her daughter going on mini adventures. 

Today we visited Tandem Coffee Roasters on 122 Anderson Street in Portland, ME. 

I tried the Malted ice coffee which was a little sweet and a cheddar jalapeño biscuit. I want to check out their other location on Congress Street next. :)

I made a portrait of Lincoln out of pennies. It took some work but I completed it today. It took over $8.00 worth of pennies. 

On Sunday my niece got to go in the pool for the first time. She loved being in the water. 

I also got to leave the house and see the Minions movie. It was a funny movie. I think Bob was my favorite.

Today my sister, my niece and I decided to go on a mini adventure venturing somewhere new. We think we will try doing this every Thursday when we have free time together. We first stopped at Omi''s Coffee Shop in Portland, ME. I tried the Beekeeper's latte and Charlotte tried the coconut cold brew. Both were delicious along with blueberry biscuit. 

Our next stop was for donuts at Little Bigs in South Portland. Its like walking right into a bakery in the middle of the action. All of the donuts on the rack looked fresh and delicious. I also loved that they had fresh Coffee By Design coffee with coffee ice cubes. 

I tried the raspberry and creme bismarck. It was yummy and tasted like it was just made. 

Also Banchi was a lazy bum today who wasn't pleased I made the bed so he improvised and tried to get under the pillow. He prefers sleeping in, every day.

I went for a quick trip at lunch time and got lunch at Market Basket. I was craving noodles.

Quiet day today. I wish we would have a sunny day.

Life has been crazy at the moment. Moving and a new job. Quiet moments are so nice. 

Today I headed south to Boothbay Harbor to visit the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens and the Maine State Aquarium. I had never been to either place and there were special discounts this weekend for residents of Maine. 

I worked on the pantry today. It's been a mess lately and I wanted to freshen it up. After taking everything out I painted it white. 

Before (when I bought the house)

After (being picky what put back in pantry)

I love organization

New knobs. No clue why I had brass ones in there. 

I fixed the doors too so they would close which required some fun with the hand planer.
