A couple weekends ago we drove to Howard Pond, in Andover to spend the weekend with Frank and Marie. Jan and Joel drove down from Winterport to join us.

The drive up there was not pleasant with high winds and heavy rains, but once we got inside their cozy cottage, poured a few adult beverages, we warmed up quickly.

Quite a portrait.....

Saturday morning was sunny, cool and brisk but quite pleasant.

After breakfast, we drove up to Sunday River, boarded the Chondola

and rode to the top of the mountain. The foliage was not as bright and vibrant as

it usually is, but still quite a colorful view.

Drove home Sunday afternoon and then back up to

Lisbon Falls to the Dobson's for a little Family get-together

that evening, before 6 of us drive to Florida for the Winter.
