It is now the 15th of July and we just had our first happy hour that wasn't inside or at least under an awning. Starting at the break in the circle with the guy in the red hat and going clockwise the principals are: Rick and Judy Feyler from Owls Head , ME, Duane and George Peck from Brunswick, ME, Ann and Bernie Dunn from Cape Cod, Durelle and an empty chair, Eleanor and Dick Roth from Houston, Dick Brann from West Gardiner, ME and Jim and Debbie Tatum from Indiana. Today we took a trip a dozen or so miles inland to the Monroe Salt Works. This is a place that creates, and ships all over the world, salt glazed pottery. It is very attractive and practical stuff with typical Maine motifs glazed onto it. The place is the most rural (dirt road) and inelegant place you can imagine. There's no customer showroom. We rummaged around in an attic with portable lights (!) seeking out the stuff that Durelle wanted. The salt glazing process has about a 70% yield, so there are a lot of neat seconds to choose from.
I moved the bedside clock over to Durelle's side so that she can get up tomorrow to watch the British Open live.
