It's that time again..... for my eighth annual meet-up by the lake ;-) Past years have included lots of fascinating people, and I’m hoping this year will be no different.
The details: A meet-up at The Point (my family's summer cottage in the western hills of Maine), this time on Saturday, June 24, noon to 6:00 p.m. (approximately......very approximately) in western Maine (about a scenic hour-long drive northwest from Portland, and maybe three hours from the Boston metro area, depending where you start out and how bad traffic is).
I’ll cook some, as well as have beer and assorted non-alcoholic beverages. But my life has been a whirlwind recently {a good whirlwind, but a whirlwind!}, so if people want to bring a dish to share, that's more than fine. {One request: no pork or shellfish, please!} It will help with planning if you let me know the general type of dish {appetizer, side, salad, dessert} when you RSVP, as I’ll fill in the gaps.
Just a little food.
Lake should be warm enough for fun if anyone wants. We have a canoe, a kayak, and plenty of rocks to swim to (and to scrape knees on....). Dogs (well-behaved....) more than welcome, but Hobbs, Penn, and Scout {yes, I had a foster fail….an adorable foster kitten fail} prefer to be the only felines ;-)
Hobbs and the late Molly, faithful companion to Bill in Portland Maine and Common Sense Mainer.
Pictures to entice anyone debating joining us are here.
Can't promise the weather will be like this (it is Maine, after all...), but it is more than possible.
If anyone wants to spend Friday and/or Saturday night (for fun, or because it's a long drive.....), I've got room for several, plus some tenting space. For more information/exact directions or to RSVP, email me at books.cats.knitting at gmail.com or send a Kosmail.

Please ~ do me a favor and RSVP ;-) There's a fair bit of space for people but the largest number of cars I've managed at one time is 10 (9 plus mine), so if we are getting close to that, I need to make arrangements with the neighbors to park a few cars elsewhere.
