As a part of this year’s Hogrock party, we all took a few minutes to celebrate the life of the Queen of Hogrock, Theresa Weingartz. Theresa always had a smile and a laugh for others, no matter what was going on with her. She was an inspiration to those who knew her. Hogdaddy told stories …

During renovations, I came in from working outside one afternoon, and there was a bird in our kitchen. I got him/her out (or so I thought). Later, it got back in, and so did Dad/Mom. I’m not sure how many birds came through. At some point, I’m pretty sure I heard them calling in reinforcements …

So. Much. Fun! I was somewhat skeptical of the e-bike. “I don’t NEED an e-bike!” Well…I didn’t NEED it, but I WANTED it! I quickly got used to the electric assist on the bikes we rented. We covered 30+ miles on the Carriage Trails around Acadia National Park. It was fall, the leaves were beautiful, …

Utterly Terrifying! LOL We’ve done plenty of hiking in our days. I use the word ‘hiking’ VERY loosely. This ‘hike’ would barely classify as such. There was definitely some climbing on this one. Some very disturbing climbing. But as with many things…we are glad we did it! Probably won’t do it again…but glad we DID …
We’ve been knee-deep in a historic home remodel for the past 6 months. We are living in the house while doing all the renovations. We are not finished, but getting close. What does living through a renovation like this look like? Lots of dust and lots of musical chairs with rooms full of furniture! This …

We started off our visit at Acadia National Park by driving around the park loop road. We explored the Ocean Path. We timed the tide coming into Thunder Hole perfectly. The same tide almost got us at Sand Beach. We had a date (and time) to get up Cadillac Mountain, so we headed up from …

We hit 5 lighthouses while wandering around Maine. My favorite visit was a sunset lighthouse visit at Bass Harbor Head (near Acadia NP). Ironically, this was also my least favorite parking lot of all the lighthouses! Many had the same idea we had. My favorite lighthouse in the whole state was Portland Head. All were …
We chose the color scheme for the inside of the house (or so we thought). Turns out, when I was doing some demo, I found out the color we chose was already under several layers of paint. I think the house liked that color and “made us” select it when we were at the paint …

We hit Maine to visit Acadia NP, but visited several towns along the coast (along Highway 1) while we were there. We saw lots of cool towns, hiked many beautiful coastlines, and visited tons of lighthouses. We saw Portland on the way in and out, stayed in Bar Harbor for a few days, and hit …
