Five Things I Love MEME

Marye tagged me for this one at her new blog Simply Home Remedies.

I'm supposed to list five things that I love and tag five others — I am not tagging anyone; I'm tagging everyone! Marye purposely left out all of her family and friends...left out the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost...left out air, shelter, and sustenance. She was specific and used photos to complement her thoughts. It was so good that I'm going to copy her.

Perhaps we could think of these as five things I really, really like. Love is such a strong word.

1. I really, really like Day Trips. Hope that we get to take a lot more of them. Yesterday found us wending our way up US 1 along the coast to a favorite restaurant.



2. I really, really like quaint villages on blue harbors.



3. Beautiful flowers on display in unique ways are things that I really, really like.























5. I really, really like to play with Photoshop. This should satisfy all those of you who have requested a wedding photo. Since we celebrated with a very simple ceremony on a crazy hot and humid day, it was no big to-do, but here ya go...




Thanks so much for reading and, should you decide to do this one, please let me know! I want to read yours, too.

A Happy TGIF to you all!



4. What's not to really, really like about fudge?

  1. What a terrific post, Vee. Loving the sound of the Lobster Pound... mmmm. The flowers and the fudge and even blue water village. But, I think you are a little too friendly with Photoshop... hee.. hee. That is maybe the ghostliest (ok I am sure that's not a word, but it communicates) looking wedding picture I have ever seen. LOL!! Although, like you, I am reluctant to put a clear picture of myself on the internet either! Still I am "really, really" happy for you in your new relationship.

    Love,
    Christi

  2. I love all those things too, except I'm a thousand miles or so away from some fresh lobster!!!

    I see you ran the wedding photo through the Diffused Glow filter. You look lovely and so HAPPY, so does the Carpenter!

    Have a great weekend.

  3. Love the pictures. The harbor looks so inviting...Cabot Cove and Angela Lansbury and all.

    I think I'll take you up on this MeMe. I love to share what I really, really like! Also...we have one of your local Maine newscasters here in the E'vlle area...I registered him for a library card the other day and he pulled out a Maine D/L. This young guy is so cute and funny...always complaining about the the horrible humidity here. I had wondered where he could be from...did you ever see Jon Chrisos on Bangor TV?

  4. Fudge and flowers...my idea of heaven. lol

    Your village on the harbor looked great! I'd like to see at least one of those myself one of these days.

    Your wedding photo is so sweet. I still can't get over you taking the plunge. Makes me smile whenever I think of it. :)

    I would love that Lobster House restaurant as I love lobster! Fudge comes in a close second

  6. Vee I LOVE what you have done! LOL!
    We tried to sell our 4300 square feet of potential a few years ago to move to a farm we fell in love with in the Houlton area but..sigh...God had another plan.

I like the photoshopped wedding photo very much...I still can't get over you just running off and eloping like that...it's left me gobsmacked as the British say lol...and my boys...you two should come along with us, out to eat, then a nice walk it's gonna be fun!

  12. Precious picture, Hon...

    Even though very vague.

    Vague... Like taken through lots of mists... Too much light exposure... Too much sunshine... Etc. Etc. Etc. {-giggles- See, I didn't say 'ghostly' like Christi did, though.}

  13. As long as you guys didn't say ghastly, which is about what our one photo of the day came out like. Did I say that it was hot, hot, hot, and humid, humid, humid? Thanks for allowing me to be vague. It's my specialty! ;D

  20. I tell my husband, when he's musing about moving to Florida, that if I couldn't drive to Maine, life wouldn't be worth living.
    Amen.
    You eloped? Wow. Happy Honeymoon!
