Thank you for the invitation. The hot donuts Saturday Morning were the best! We had a blast raking all the campsites, and it was very peaceful. We didn't realize how many muscles could hurt in your hand after we were done. It was all worth it because we didn't have to cook all day and the hamburgers, hotdogs and homemade french fries were super and potluck supper was a pleasant gathering. We made new friends and we hope to see them next year. Our children had a great time and thanks for supplying the mother's day gifts from our children. The flowers were beautiful. We had a great Mother’s Day thanks to everyone at Searsport Shores. See you next year.

So with a very bad attitude I packed our 'classic' trailer and settled in to be completely miserable. Not being originally from Maine, I had no idea what the weather could be like on the coast, but this weekend it matched my mood...Gray and cold. And wet! It rained the whole weekend and the wind never stopped. But the hot chocalate was the best I had ever had. And I didn't know you could make marshmellows from scratch. And I don't know what was warmer, the fire in the rec hall, or Steve and Astrig's welcome. This will be our third year at clean-up weekend and I wouldn't miss it for the world. It has become my new "New Year's"; All the things we love to do in the summer begin with this weekend. I have a new rake, and a lined rain coat (just in case) and promise to bring my grandmother's broccoli and rice casserole to the pot luck. The bad attitude I'll leave at home.
