There was a lobster roll and a shrimp cocktail near the sea. There was tidepooling. There was a walk through a gorgeous public garden. There was a yarn shop and some souvenir yarn purchased. There was a seafood platter and strawberry shortcake at Durgin-Park. There were Claudia, Carole & Dale, Carol, Kate, Terry, and of course Sandy who turned out to party. There was Shakespeare on the Common with knitting. There was a snuggle with a young bichon named Hagrid in the crowd.
-----------------------------
The sign says:
Damsel sought
To share this spot
So neither of us
Will watch the play alone.
I will share blueberries.
Inquiries welcomed.
------------------------------------
Sadly, he left alone at intermission.
-------------------------------------
Yep. All the world's a stage...




I like it too!
My soul is happy from such a wonderful day. Thanks for that!

*gales of laughter at the idea of a bichon named Hagrid*

Clever chap. His blueberries organic?

Dinner was a great time and I'm sorry to have missed the play. I think I may have sat with that poor man. He gets an A for effort and thoughtfulness.

I'm proud of you for staying with your grrls and not going with the guy who had blueberries! ;-)

That Terry is EVERYWHERE! Why, she appeared in my blog just two days ago!

So sorry I missed out on the fun! You went to Woodman's in Essex for lunch??

Oh yeah, puppy snuggles, the best. Making good times, indeed. Sad that blueberry dude caved and left. meh. like there's something amiss with watching a play alone? or was he just being a firefly? ;^)

So you snuggled a Hagrid, and didn't take pity on a clever single man? You girls could have drowned him in feminine attention.

Wooo, and to think I had to work and miss that last part. Poor dude. Otherwise, sorry to have missed you and all the fun. Especially the lobster roll and tide pool part.

Oh that poor dude! He should have offered alcohol.

I saw (mostly heard) the play on Saturday. So much fun and a nice night to knit outside.

Poor guy! It was a good try, though. Sounds like you had a much better time than he did!
Posted by: Cheryl S. | Wednesday, July 30, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Awwwww... that's so sad. The guy looks quite dapper.
Glad you had such a nice trip. Enjoyed Boing's commentary while you were gone.

Sounds like a fantastic weekend!

I love his sign. Very clever. I'm surprised no one sat with him....or is that the new pick up line for psycho killers?
Posted by: Stephanie | Wednesday, July 30, 2008 at 01:16 PM
He'd have done better with chocolate. ;^)
I've never been tide pooling. /sigh I miss out on all the fun. I'm so glad that you didn't.

sounds like fun!
mixed on the guy being unique or creepy. sad days for some, eh?
Posted by: KellyS | Wednesday, July 30, 2008 at 01:38 PM
Terry's like the new Zelig, isn't she?
I woulda sat with the dude or made him come sit with the group - I love blueberries.

Sometimes you need more game than a sign and anitoxidants.
Looks like the rest of you had fun tho.
