Hello Friends!
Welcome Back to Tuesday Tidbits!
Sometimes an adventure begins with a plan; sometimes it begins with an airline credit you need to use! That’s right, folks. I had an airline credit that I needed to use by late October.
Therefore, Sweet Man and I headed to the east coast of Maine for a little getaway. We had four things on our wish list: delicious seafood, beautiful fall foliage, antiquing, and a Moose sighting.
Fresh Seafood
Oh, the seafood! I had the BEST lobster roll ever, the most tender clam strips, and a bowl of haddock chowder that was soooo good. Sweet Man enjoyed Fried Haddock. We also enjoyed fresh raw oysters. Which we love. I’m still thinking about all the great food we had.

Antiquing
Of course, I couldn’t come home empty-handed in the antiquing department. I added two new spoons to my tomato spoon collection. I have them at our Arizona home, and now I have a few here at the LakeHouse. A girl has to have priorities, you know!
Moose!
But this trip had another mission. We wanted to see a Moose!
After all, if you’re in Maine, shouldn’t you try to spot a moose? We looked and looked, but not a single moose showed up for us. I’m beginning to think they knew we were coming and decided to take the week off. We have been to Alaska, Canada a few times, and Maine twice—still no Moose. The moose must know we are coming, so they go deeper into the forest to hide.
Sweet Man did manage to stand beside one, though. Unfortunately, it was a taxidermy moose. 😂 I suppose that counts as a sighting, although it wasn’t quite the wildlife encounter we had in mind!
We may not have brought home any moose stories, but we did enjoy gorgeous fall colors, beautiful coastal views, and some mighty fine seafood. Not a bad trade-off for an airline credit we needed to use! I am still giggling that we spent money to save money. But as the youngin’s say, YOLO! Which means You Only Live Once.
Maine Was Beautiful
I enjoyed seeing the old churches with steeples.

The Autumn colors were incredible. I have lots of pictures from our little Maine adventure to share. Just don’t expect any close-up moose pictures. Please click on the first image to see all.
Back at Home
Once we returned home, we wrapped up the week with a fun birthday celebration for our friends at their home. Good food, good company, and lots of laughs. It was a lovely way to end our travels.
Thankful
All in all, it was a fun filled week with new memories, great food, a little treasure hunting, beautiful scenery, and plenty of reasons to be thankful.
And that, my friends, is what Tuesday Tidbits is all about! Thank you always for your visits. We sure do appreciate you!
