We travelled up from Bangor to Millinocket to meet up with Kathleen, my first face to face meeting with a blogger friend. what a lovely lady she is, she treated Ralph and I to lunch at a cracking restaurant. Ir belongs to a family of lumberjacks who have a reality tv show, I cannot remember the name of it but it was a great experience. After lunch Kathleen directed us to a drive that she likes to do with her husband Lyle. It was beautiful, miles from nowhere and not a car or house for miles. Ralph took some great photo's, I will borrow them when we get back home and publish them on here.
we then went to find the accommodation Ralph had booked for the night as we had decided not to go back to Bangor after meeting Kathleen. He wanted to stay in a cabin for a night, so he booked one........ It was a little yellow box, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it, it was very basic, but cosy and the owner gave us some delicious hot muffins straight from the oven..mmmm
After settling in and freshening up, we went off to meet Kathleen and her husband Lyle for a meal, boy oh boy do you serve big in America. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs, but I was defeated as soon as it was put in front of me!
The evening was lovely though, I could have sat all night and listened to Lyle, he is such a character. I felt as though I had known Kathleen for years and we have the same thoughts on a variety of topic's.
Ralph and Lyle
Kathleen and Me.
Thank you Kathleen, it was a pleasure and I now what to meet more blogger friends. And remember, you promised NOT to give up blogging.

How fun Sheilagh! I love when God shows Himself in nature. Enjoy every minute and remember to order one plate of food between you and Ralph when you're in America!!!!
So glad you are enjoying New England. I'm with Dawne for one order for two people and I'd add no French fries. I try to limit my fries to once a month and it seems to be working. I've found our restaurant in NYC and so eager to share it with you and Ralph!
Sounds as if you are having a lovely time Sheilagh!! Blogging buddies are the best. I have loved every one that I have been lucky enough to meet in person! xxoo
