Can I use my iPhone in England? – Apple – Wireless Forums from AT&T Yes it will work there. Make sure you call ATT and have international provisioning add the international roaming feature if you don’t already have it. Its free but you have to ask them to have it added, it comes turned off by default. Warning – data is EXTREMELY expensive over in Europe — you can ask ATT to turn off your data while you are overseas and turn it back on when you return (They will balk at the request, ask for a supervisor). Make sure…

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should…

I’ve been saying for more than a week now that I’d post about the big trip to the East Coast we made, and it’s reached the point where if I don’t make a start, of any length, it’ll never get done. I’ve downloaded photos but haven’t yet had a chance to upload them to Flickr… until now. I’ve made a start at last. And can I just say, “I Heart Maine?” It’s a beautiful state. And it’s a beautiful state of mind. We flew into Boston after work on a Friday a couple of weeks ago, and overnighted at an anonymous Holiday…

We just got thru security at BWI for our flight home and I stupidly forgot to put my sunscreen in my checked baggage. It’s a Hawaiian brand, smells relish and feels great on the skin. Have to order more when I get a chance. Grrrrr. Otherwise it’s been a really fun trip.

My husband David took this picture of the ginormous bowl of steaming hot mussels we had before lunch yesterday. The broth was to die for – rich, savory, and totally worth sopping up with the hot herb bread. The waitress taught us this trick, bless her. The mussels were delicious and so was the lunch, and at this little shoreline restaurant we could watch the tide creep slowly in. It was fascinating to watch. It was in Cape Neddick, I think, and it was just a little place along an inlet well inland from the ocean. Via: Flickr Title: Lunch!…

It’s hard to tell here, but the Episcopal church in Boothbay Harbor is brand new, and made in a very clean and updated “shingle” style on the outside. On the inside it’s a clean, fresh, open plan space with a sanctuary that has a high wooden ceiling supported by big, nautical-looking timbers along the sides. The people were really open and welcoming, too. I had a number of great conversations with people and did my best to wave the big alto flag. They didn’t have a choir, but I had introduced myself to the organized, Eleanor, who became my buddy…

Hee hee! I collect pictures of funny bumper stickers – this one was actually stuck on a rear passenger door. Love the sentiment. Via: Flickr Title: Save the ta-tas! By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 10 May ’08, 5.28pm CDT PST Ginny I can has iPhone?

View from the deck near our room at the Harborage Inn. Free WiFI, but no breakfast included. Still, it’s a very comfortable room with really, really nice decor, beautiful bedding in the Laura Ashley manner, and some rather coffee and tea making gadgets. All it really needs is a microwave and a private lanai – the deck is more like a shared third-floor porch that gives access to the rooms. Eventually, they’ll have a big Jacuzzi right by the water, but it’s not quite ready for use yet. A lot of places aren’t even open this far ahead of Memorial…

This was taken from within the sanctum; I’d never been in a ladies’ rooms stall with saloon-style swing doors before. The “katie-bar-the-door” closure was a bit awkward, but served well enough. Our lunch at this place, the Shoreline Restaurant and Lobster Pound in Ogunquit, turned out to be really good. It was an odd, funky place, with strange acoustics where you could hear the conversations in the bar clearly, even though it was around the corner and in a different wing o the building. We listened to some guy with a strong Boston accent (think “Good Will Hunting”) tell jokes…
