Busy Weekend

It has been a very busy past couple of months for the Coles. The month of September is starting off with a bang as Gary has an art show and we make a trip to King's Landing.

 Gary has become the artist of the month at Northern Maine Community College. He has over fifty paintings on display in the library. Friday night for the Art Walk he had a reception.

 Many people came by to see his work and hear his talk about his artwork. It was great to greet so many friends and relatives.

Below you can see a close up of him and some of his paintings.

 

People had a good time and we all enjoyed some conversation and memories. We want to thank all of the people who made the effort to come, and made the night very special.

Bob came up Friday for the show, and on Saturday we visited one of our favorite places, King's Landing in New Brunswick. Gary was able to find a couple of the people that he has painted in the past.

Here are Bob and Louise headed to the King's Head Tavern where we had a very nice lunch. They are modernizing the village, including modern food on the menu for the first time. Gary had a hamburger! We never thought we would see French fries being served in the tavern.

 

The quiet rural setting was delightful on a beautiful day.

 

Usually we have visited this place in the late fall, but this year we got to see the gardens in bloom.

It has been a great summer and we look forward to a good fall season.
