This place is right on the beach. I got up early (as usual) and walked to the beach and sat in the sun reading. I also walked barefoot down the beach. The tide was out so the part of the beach that is covered with water later in the afternoon, was very walkable, almost like walking on a path. I had forgotten how neat beaches are. The sun was quite warm, but it was cool in the shade, almost too cool sometimes. Liz had to work all day and into the evening so I spent a lot of time sitting on the porch reading. This place reminds me a lot of Holden Village, except it isn't set apart from the rest of the community and you can drive into town in 10 minutes! What reminds of it though is the people. All greeting each other after a year or so, coming back to the place year after year - some have been coming for 30 years or more. Ferry Beach is over 100 years old so there is a lot of history here too.

The building called Quillen houses the summer registration office, a living room, and the dining hall on the first floor. I never did find out what is on the upper floors. the porch is a popular place to sit and talk or read.August 9th -
I attended the Sunday morning worship service which was held in the outdoor chapel. Liz played the piano for the service along with people playing guitars. Afterward we strolled through the memorial garden and then had refreshments in the camp ground. The camp ground is for those people who want to camp in tents or RV's.
I had another cousin visit today. This time it was Paula and her husband, Bob. They drove over from their home in Winchendon, MA to visit with me. We had lunch in the dining hall with a pastor who has a church in Winchendon, so they had a lot to talk about. After lunch we took a drive down the coast of Maine to Kennybunkport. Talk about a tourist town!!! There wasn't even room on the main street to get a car through the crowds of people!. We didn't stop there, but drove a little farther down the coast and back. We stopped once at the only place along the shore that we could find a place to park the car. Paula and I walked down on the shore and I took a few pictures--as usual.
