This weekend was a special time for my family, my first grandson got married in lovely Maine. I will not be sharing pics of the wedding or myself due to privacy issues but have other photos of the area to share.
We went up to South Berwick Maine on Friday for the rehearsal luncheon and then over to the Stage House Inn for our two-night stay. The wedding was held on Saturday. Here are some photos of the Inn.



I didn’t taken photos inside the room to share. It was very small but had three windows, thanks goodness, since the AC was not working and it was in the 80’s F. We sweat a lot and had to get out and walk around to cool off. The weather did drop into the 50’s & 60’s F the next day.
Here are some photos I snapped as we walked around on Friday and Saturday before the 4:30 pm wedding to stretch our legs. The community is old. Here is a local church dated back to 1823.
An old massive tree and some of the colonials that are protected by the town because of their history.






The student and parents/GS leaders gave me permission to post these photos. Thank you, ladies! Of course, my husband bought cookies to give to my younger grandsons. He promised he wouldn’t eat any even if they were his favorite – caramel. He was true to his word. So proud of him!

The town is a quiet area with no stores to shop and just a few restaurants, pizza place, a meat store, but no pharmacy. We had to go about eight miles away to find one at a Hannaford. We did stumble upon a Medical Clinic and peeked in to see if they had what I needed. It turned out to be a Hemp store with all kinds of products to get high or not. Yikes! We didn’t buy anything for fear that I would pass out from just the smell. Ha! We asked for directions to the pharmacy and quickly left.
The wedding was absolutely beautiful as was the bride and my grandson was, of course, quite handsome. A few tears escaped my eyes but I stem the flow so I wouldn’t embarrass myself or my grandson.
Here are a few photos of the Red Barn where the wedding took place. I didn’t snap too many unfortunately. It was quite elegant with a rustic appeal, nothing like a real barn. Lovely place to have a wedding and well organized from the open bar to the hors d’oeuvres to the meal.
The actual ceremony took place in front of the gorgeous fireplace below. I did find a photo of just John & I to share.




It was a lovely weekend but I am happy to be home in my own bed. I never sleep well when I am away from home. It was a gorgeous wedding and I danced my feet off but suffered later that night when every muscle ached reminding me what I did. Ha! I forget sometimes how old I am and act like a kid again. But it sure was fun to be with my whole family, laughing, eating, drinking and dancing. I snapped over 250 photos to share with all of them. My daughter said my new vocation should be photographer. I do love to take pictures, don’t I, as you can see from all my posts.
Thank you for stopping by to read this post. I hope you will come back again soon. Take care.
Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!

What a lovely spot for a wedding and congratulation to your grandson and his new wide. Maine is great for me any time of year – even winter (for a visit). And we have to act like kids again from time to time, regardless that our bodies complain afterward!
