I would have stopped on about 25% of the hikes y'all have taken, so I know for sure that this one was over the top. I know you were disappointed, but you did still get a great picture. <br /><br />Thank you for putting your hand by the dahlia. I had no idea that they got that big. So lovely.Pam Sprousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911993909677818986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-28101431849223208532013-09-02T08:55:54.339-04:002013-09-02T08:55:54.339-04:00Well, you win for hiking the farthest toward the F...Well, you win for hiking the farthest toward the Friar - I would not have guessed it was not connected to the land - looks like a treacherous walk - surprising they don't have 'hazard extreme/extreme hazard' signs up - I suppose it's not that dangerous and even if you did slip - it doesn't look like you'd go too, too far. The Tea idea is such a good one - what fun! And the flowers - beautiful. Great idea for a day that began with fog :) Carrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-50611480897893850182013-09-01T22:51:00.543-04:002013-09-01T22:51:00.543-04:00Glad you were able to get back for another tea tim...Glad you were able to get back for another tea time.

Just be sure to go to the Visitor Center early enough to get a ticket - they only give out 20 per tea because that is all they can seat. You will learn much, and I'll bet you will enjoy the cookies and tea too! They do have a donation box for those who wish to support the effort, but they never mention it.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739352885582343624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-67838768640203611702013-09-01T20:28:09.373-04:002013-09-01T20:28:09.373-04:00How very nice that Carolyn has commented on your b...How very nice that Carolyn has commented on your blog.

I am thrilled that I have been a part of it and have had the opportunity to meet you both and share my stories with you. As I stated at the tea, I'm not "Uncle Teddy" but I do love to tell stories. I will e-mail you some pictures of the "Old Friar" taken while I was sailing on the Bay. Happy Travels. I will keep in touch.

I figured you'd get free tea and have to pay for the cookies. Nothing is free anymore. The dahlias and roses are beautiful. I particularly like the "spikey" looking ones. At Die's daughter's wedding, one of their friends brought a car full of dahlias from her garden and did all the wedding flowers and they were gorgeous. Keep having fun! I miss you!

I actually thought about buying some dahlias the other day, but I've never had good luck with them after the first season. Of course I planted them in Florida.<br /><br />I just want you to know I have been reading all your blogs. Most of the time I read them on my cell phone and I think I'll go back and make some comments later on. Of course, I never quite get around to it.

First Acadia National Park and now Lubec and Campobello. I would have loved the Eleanor Tea. Your blog is so exciting and I envy you your stamina and strength. I would have never attempted the trip to see the friar. I can almost feel my ankles hurting. Thanks so much Sherry for the travelogue.
