Cruisin’ on the Coastal Highway in Maine

One day when we were heading back to our rental cottage in Maine a couple weeks ago, we got behind this vintage vehicle in Maine, so I snapped a few pics.

What we didn’t know was what was in front of it.

DSC_0882 copy 2

It was a long line of vintage cars. How often does this happen?

We followed them north for many miles.

This place is for sale in Milbridge. It has a view of the water AND an indoor swimming pool.

Shelley Jaffe said...

1. Drink? Hot tea. Yeah, you read this right. And you saw it live. It somehow really cools things down!

3. Sporting Event? A Florida Marlins baseball game w/my honey in May.

4. First Name? Shelley. Not a fan - can't imagine having a 'ey' name when I'm 80. Although, '80' ends with 'ey'.

5. Can I keep a secret? I am a frickin' vault of discretion. You have no idea how many things I have to keep on the d.l.

2. It's been 10 yrs. since I was at the beach in Florida! Too long! I did go to Carribean this past Feb., but I did not swim!

3. Travelers Baseball game at Verizon arena this past May.

4. Vicki Sorry, Mom, but I never liked it! Neither did my dad! It was a "trendy" name in the 50's and I don't care for trendy names. Why couldn't I have a classic name like Elizabeth or Catherine or Rachael or Anne?

5. Yes, I can keep a secret, but it is NOT easy!!!

2. Last time in the ocean: 2004 in Hawaii (and I live in southern California, how funny is that???)

3. Sporting event: An LA Clippers game w/my sister...we had free tickets & they actually won in overtime!

Gail said...

1. Favorite summertime drink is iced sweet tea.

2. First time and last time in the ocean waters was Tybee Island, Georgia too long ago to remember the time.

3. The last sporting event I attended was sixth grade football.

4. My first name is Sheila and have no thoughts about it one way or another. My family calls me by my middle name so I guess they had second thoughts after they named me.

5. Yes, I can keep a secret. I could write a book about the secrets I keep, but then they would not be secrets.

Wonderful photos, I could live easily in that house for sale and drive any one of those stunning cars...maybe in my next life.

Karen thisoldhouse2.com said...

1. What’s your favorite summertime drink? Fresh squeezed lemonade, not too sweet, or watermelon lime-ade.

2. When were you last in Ocean waters? Last weekend in Newport. (lol, my newport post has proof!) I try to go down to the water, which is about five miles away, atleast once a week. The salt air and water are healing, I believe that, for body and soul :-) Especially in Maine!

3. When did you last attend a sporting event? My family just went to a Yankees game on Saturday in the new Steroided Stadium without me, does that count?


4. What is your first name? How do you feel about it? Karen, and I love it now, but when I was a teenager I wished I had a more exotic name. Now that I actually love my name in all it's simplicity, I am sad that no one names their baby girl "Karen" any more.


5. Can you keep a secret? Yes, especially when it could be harmful, but I don't always- depends on the circumstances.

Love your photos, Kate. Thanks for taking us along.

Deb said...

1. What’s your favorite summertime drink? water though a frozen margarita is nice too!

2. When were you last in Ocean waters? December, 2008 in Hawaii

3. When did you last attend a sporting event? Tiger's game, summer 2009

4. What is your first name? How do you feel about it? Debra though everyone calls me Debi and I've never liked it. In 3rd grade there were 5 Debbie's and by the time the teacher got to me she decided I should be called by my middle name. Talk about traumatic! I never knew who she was talking to!! Plus Debbie doesn't seem like it travels well into my old age!

5. Can you keep a secret? Yes, if asked.

Teri said...

What a hoot! You were in the middle of a car club run. A year ago we were at a blacksmith convention and the hotel was also booked by the "Social Security Car Club" for their 'run'. So cool to see all the 65+ year old cars in the parking lot.

Fresh fruit ice slushee.

5. You can bet your life on it.

Jill of All Trades said...

I love those houses. I think that may be a place we should visit sometime.

1. Fav summertime drink...well, right now I've discovered Gin and Tonic with extra lime...yummy.
2. Ocean waters, the last time was gosh, when my girls were in high school. Must have been 10 years ago at least. Wait we were in California a couple of years ago but we didn't touch the water.
3. Sporting event, like when the oldest was in grade school. Don't do sporting stuff.
4. Proudly, my first name is Carla. Used to want to spell it with a K but that has passed. Actually, there were two Carla's in my high school class, one, me and one with a K!
5. Yes, secrets I can hold onto. But I also have an honesty gene and if you ask me point blank I can't hold it. I blurt.

Jack Thyen said...

1. During the heat of the summer nothing beats ice cold water. OK, I do love my beer as well, but I drink a lot more water!

2. July 2nd, 2010 My family gets together for a week every summer and rents a beach house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

3. We try to get up for a Virginia Tech Football game once a year. The last one was October 29th, 2009.

4. I have always gone by Jack, but my legal name is John. I never liked the whole nick-name thing. If my parents wanted to call me “Jack”, they should have named me Jack. I always hated the first day of school when your new teacher would call me “John”.

5. Yes, if someone trusts me to keep a secret, there is no way I would break that trust!

Daryl said...

1. I am addicted to Star$$ iced green tea/lemonade sweetened .. oh my

2. I dont think I have been in the ocean since .. well a really long time .. half a life ago .. I dont like salt water ..

3. One April in the late 1970/early 1980s I attended my one and only baseball game at Yankee Stadium .. boring AND cold

4. Daryl .. and now I have no problem with it but when I was a kid and the only one with the name I wasnt so happy about it ..

5. Sort of. If I am asked not to tell, I wont .. but if you dont ask me .. well ... seriously my answer if I am asked about something that I was told not to repeat is usually 'its not my place to tell'

Andi said...

We see vintage cars around here often. We live right off the main road between a lot of towns that host car shows. They never cease to make us stop and look, they are very awesome cars. imagine the stories most have to tell?

I have been missing your questions!

1. What’s your favorite summertime drink? Iced tea mostly. Although I am with Bush Babe, after five I love a drink I learned to make, raspberry something or other over ice -raspberry vodka, chambord, cranberry juice(I use cranraspberry) and a splash of lime juice. Yummy on a hot night.

2. When were you last in Ocean waters? Three weeks ago with a friend in NJ - interestingly enough I only go in thigh deep max (Jaws at too young an age) and a shark washed up a few days after we were there! going back to Ocean City in two weeks! Usually prefer Myrtle beach in SC

3. When did you last attend a sporting event? Hate live Sporting events really. Stick to the Reading Phillies, which for me was probably last summer sometime.

4. What is your first name? How do you feel about it? Andrea - Andi mostly. I used to hate it, since I have a twin sister named Angela, and THAT was the cool name in the 70's. I had the "matchy matchy" name. But not it suits me and I love it.

5. Can you keep a secret? Yes, and there are way too many people who know it. :)

The Weaver of Grass said...

My favourite drink is Pineapple juice.
I was last by the ocean in Elba in May.
I cannot remember last attending a sporting event!
My first name is Patricia - and yes i am quite happy with it - I have had it for so long it fits me like a skin.
Oh yes - I can keep a secret.

Jeanne Walker said...

I really want that beautiful white house on the water that's for sale!

1. Iced tea, then lemonade, then...
2. Gosh, maybe 10 years ago in the Pacific Ocean.
3. A football game two years ago.
4. Jeanne...not Jean...not Jeannie.
It's French pronunciation of Jean.
1 in 1 million people pronounce it correctly. So with that, it's been a hard name to live with all these many years!
5. My best friend and I confide secrets to each other...that way the secret does not drive us crazy.

A New England Life said...

Wonderful views! There must have been an antique car show somewhere up there. My dad would have loved seeing all the old cars since all he does is restore them.

It's been years since I've been to Bar Harbor. Quaint little town filled with tourists from what I recall. I would love to visit the antique shop!

1. My fave Summertime drink ... seltzer water.
2. As often as I visit the beach I don't often dip my toes in. I will tomorrow though!
3. Last sporting event? My daughters Field Hockey game last fall.
4. Sharon. It's okay. I suppose it suits me. Plain. I was almost Naomi!
5. Yes, I can keep a secret. Sometimes it hurts though. lol!

Tiggeriffic said...

1.What is your favorite summertime drink? Iced water with lemon

2. When were you last in Ocean waters? Last May with my sister and brother.. We were at Pawley's Island in South Carolina.

3. When did you last attend a sporting event? I went to Emily and Kelly's softball games.. Emily is 9 and Kelly is 11.

4.What is your first name? How do you feel about it?.My first name is Phyllis. I was named after my husband,Dave's cousin. This is before I met Dave. So weird.. Phyllis took care of my mom after she had a car accident and then after I was born she took care of me.. She was a wonderful lady.. My mom named me Phyllis Anne, and called me Anne. Only time I get to use Phyllis is signing documents and when I go to the hospital. Nurses used to get mad at me because I would not wake up to the name of Phyllis.. then I told them I go by the name of "Anne". from then on, I told them to call me Anne if they wanted me to wake up after surgery..

5. Can you keep a secret Yes, I can keep a secret most times.. Depends on what it is all about.Working as a head custodian at the school, teachers would confide in me and of course I wouldn't tell anyone..or if the high school kids would come and talk with me I would keep it to myself.. The secret to keeping a secret is not to tell anyone.

Anonymous said...

1. What’s your favorite summertime drink? Pink Lemonade!

2. When were you last in Ocean waters? Six years ago, when I travel with my parents to Florida for my cousin's November wedding. We didn't go out on the water but I stuck my feet in at the shore.

3. When did you last attend a sporting event? My last horse show, which was two weeks ago.

4. What is your first name? How do you feel about it? Chrissy. I used to not like it. But I've grown up, and grown to love myself and the fact that my name is my very own, I can't change it, so why not love the good parts about it?

5. Can you keep a secret? Sure can!

mrs mediocrity said...

LOVE that house that's for sale!

Laura @ Our House of Joyful Noise said...

1. Light iced teas are nice, but I mostly drink water.

2. I was in the ocean just a couple of weeks ago.

3. A 'paid' sporting event? Never. Next to that, my daughter's championship basketball game this past spring was in April or May. (Sadly, I forget.) I went to her first tag football clinic just last night, if that counts. I'm guessing I am starting to look pathetic now, so I'll stop.

4. My first name is Laura. I use my middle too in business; Laura Lee. Many in the pro-photography cyber-world refer to me as LLR (my initials). But back to Laura....I have always thought it was a nice name. The older I get, the more I appreciate the older name feel to it. Not 'too many' Laura's around, and I appreciate that too.

5. I can absolutely keep a secret. Would you like to share one with me? : )

3. When did you last attend a sporting event? Probably last summer when visiting our sons home in Milton, Ontario- we went to a baseball game he was playing in :)

4. What is your first name? How do you feel about it? My first name is Deborah and I was always called Debbie growing up, until I starting claiming my real birth name of Deborah and really like it better..and I love that its a biblical name too :)

5. Can you keep a secret? Yes, certainly if its a confidence. But if the secret is a gift Im wanting to give someone I love, then its extremely hard and its a sacrifice for me not to tell the person I got it for, and not to give it to them before the date originally planned :)

Thanks Kate! That was fun

Carolynn Anctil said...

My favourite summertime drink is Lemon Iced Tea Snapple. It quenches my thirst like nothing else. It also revs me up like crazy. I can get a lot done after I've had a drink of Snapple. *grin*

I don't actually recall the last time I was IN ocean waters. I was near ocean waters in November 2008 (Yikes!) when I went to Mexico. Didn't swim in it though. The undertow was too strong.

I'm not a big sporting event fan. So, I suppose, I would have to say Equestrian Jumping at least 2 years ago for $100, Alex. Hmmm....will have to put that in my calendar again before the events are all over for the summer.

My first name is actually Beverly. I've always been referred to by my second name, Carolynn. But even that has it's wrinkles...I wrote a post about it here: http://aglowingember.blogspot.com/2008/09/what.html

Can I keep a secret? Do bears...you know?

Meg McCormick said...

I'm late, can I still play?

1. What’s your favorite summertime drink? Non-alcoholic, unsweetened iced tea. Alcoholic, a freshly-made mojito with mint from the garden.

2. When were you last in Ocean waters? Dewey Beach, first week of August! I'm still holding a grudge over my lost hat and prescription sunglasses. Damn Atlantic.

3. When did you last attend a sporting event? Within the past two weeks I've been to the Bowie Baysox (AAA team for the Orioles) and the Washington Nationals (which some might say is also a AAA team).

4. What is your first name? How do you feel about it? My first name is Margaret. It was my mom's mother's middle name. Because there are so many nicknames for it, my parents decided when I was born that my designated nickname would be Meg. Not Megan - MEG. I like both quite a lot.

5. Can you keep a secret? Of course; I'm in Human Resources.

Anonymous said...

Oh my.....I'm late....sorry, but I look forward to these so here goes...

hee hee....i can keep a secret {see my blog}
and also....the old cars.....
well, my parents belong to an antique car club and they drive all over, caravan style like what you saw, and go to all sorts of places, always stopping in some little town for lunch or dinner.....

my dad has an old convertible, red, with a white roof, that is amazing.....
