Time in Freeport, Maine

 We drove South to Freeport to spend 3 nights there. Freeport is an outlet mall city and the home base of LLBEAN. We used to come here every time we were in Maine to shop LL Bean and the other shops. This year we didn't need to do any outlet shopping and we no longer shop LL Bean. They have always been a staple of Maine and always had quality products made in Maine. A couple of years ago they went woke and started supporting BLM. Then when I ordered our traditional Maine wreaths from them, they sent us wreathes from Oregon. No more business with them for sure.

On Saturday we looked for a breakfast place and we found the Freeport Cafe. WOW!! What a huge menu and large portions.

David had eggs, corned beef hash, home fries and a biscuit and I had eggs, bacon, hash browns and Texas toast. A lot of food, so we had no need for lunch.

One of the places I did want to visit was Mother of Purl Knit Shop. They have a great selection and I have ordered sock yarn from them several times. I purchased some of their own hand dyed yarn and some Demin colored yarn for a short sleeve sweater.

Then David decided he needed a car wash, so we went down the road for that. After we drove away, we heard something dragging in the back of the car. There was no way to see what it was because we couldn't crawl under the car.

 So, I used my phone to take a picture underneath the car from the back, and this is what I saw. Something had definitely fallen down and was dragging. David tried calling the Honda dealership service and they couldn't see him until Tuesday. That was no good since we needed to leave on Monday. With it being 1PM on Saturday most everything was closed. I looked online and saw a Meineke auto place in Topsham that was open until 4PM. David called and went right over. They were so nice. They found one of the clips holding a cover in the up position had broken off letting the cover fall down on the ground. They fixed it for him at no charge. WOW. You don't see that much anymore.

This what we saw when we pulled up to the MH.

  It's a Nickie in the window. About 5PM we went over to Cindy's for a lobster roll. It was good, but not great. Being in Maine, we had to get a lobster roll. It was a quiet night with the kitties.

On Sunday we went back to Freeport Cafe for breakfast again. David had an omelet, and I had their Belgum waffle with whipped cream and fruit. YUM.

There was another yarn shop in Portland that I wanted to check out, Knit Wit. They had some yarn that I was interested in and lucky for me there were open on Sunday, so after breakfast we took a ride to Old Port, Portland and I found 2 beautiful yarns. It was a very nice shop, and the staff were nice too.

We went back to the MH and spent time with the kitties. Then for dinner we drove to the Village Inn in Auburn for dinner. Needless to say, we couldn't eat it all. Just too much food.

We did a lot of eating in Maine, but it is all over now. Tomorrow, we head back to Newburgh, NY as we work our way home.
