T Stands for a Second Look and Other Things

   Hi everyone. Happy new week to you. And happy new month too! The last couple of days I have been straight out. I'll explain  that in a couple of paragraphs, but needless to say I haven't gotten by too many blogs during that time. As you all know, sometimes life just gets in the way. 

   It's also time for T over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog and also this T day falls on the second of the month for it's time for Second on the Second also over at  Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog . All you need to do for Second on the Second is repost a post from an earlier date.

  What's been up with me? This June means I've been called up for jury duty. That was how I spent June 1, in court going through a  jury selection process. I also had a fun tourist day with my husband, daughter and son-in-law in Boston over the past Sunday. More about those things in another post. 😏

  My big chore last week and once I get some time this week  has  been picking up my art space that became  an absolute disaster zone and that has needed some reorganization since some of the ways  I organized back this past winter are not working for me. I'm close to finishing that project, and hopefully it will be done soon.

   Plus our shower drain is leaking into the basement. My husband can fix it, but in the meantime my laundry area (which is also in the basement) has some water. Not a flood or even puddles, just a wet cement floor. Once the leak is fixed, I decided I wanted a new mat for the floor since the  one I have there now is stained,  worn, and owes me nothing since I've had it for a long time. 

    My husband and I went out last Saturday afternoon over to Sanford, Maine. There is a discount home store over there that sells flooring and floor coverings, and I knew I could find something for my laundry room floor there. I wanted to get one before we were too far into the summer season because what I wanted was an indoor-outdoor style mat. If I waited too long, they probably wouldn't have a big selection as this is the time of year people want outdoor mats. I found just what I wanted for less money that I thought it was going to cost so it was a worthwhile trip. 😏

    This isn't a great photo since the mat is still all rolled up, but here's my floor mat for the laundry room.

    After our home store trip we decided to get an early dinner at a place called Shaine's of Maine. I've mentioned this place before, but here's a photo of  the building.

    And here's an inside view. Shaine's of Maine is really known for their homemade ice cream.

   But they are so known for their food which is very reasonable. Here's my drink for T day.  I had their lobster roll  and chowder meal which was still only $14.99. It's not the biggest lobster roll, but it is less than half the price less that just about any place else you go including Pop's. 

    Plus with it being a little smaller I could also have some ice cream. 😏❤👍 My favorite flavor is coffee, and add some brownies to it and it was a win-win meal finisher. 

   I also wanted to share my Second on the Second view in this post. Three years ago in early June I was in Iceland with my husband. We were driving the ring road. Here's a couple of T day photos from that trip.

You can see the whole post from June 26, 2023 here. 

   That's all for me today. Wishing everyone a wonderful T day and rest of your week.
