July 12 - Bangor

We got up and poked around Montreal a little. I guess we were reluctant to leave this beautiful city. Our next stop was Knowlton, Quebec, a pretty little town near Lac Brome. We enjoyed the beauty and had a lovely lunch in a great little restraunt. The town has a pretty church on a little lake with a waterfall beneath it. Next we drove to Sutton where 8 generations ago Candleman's ancestors Dudley Gilman and his wife Mary Hariman lived. They were the parents of Rebecca Scoville. The one we found on Scugog Island, Ontario. Here again they lived in some of the most beautiful farm country on earth!

We entered the US at Richford, Vermont and then drove to a little town called St. Johnsbury where Booklogged's mother had once seen a beautiful library. We were a half hour too late and could only take pictures of the exterior of the building. St. Johnsbury is a small, beautiful Vermont town with lots of big impressive churches and the wonderful library pictured here. From here we drove across New Hampshire and into Maine were we saw so many wonderful views of the Great North Woods and wonderful farms and villages. Also, a great covered bridge.

We spent the night in Bangor, Maine.

I have so enjoying your blog. Each day it is the thing I look for on the net. The pictures are incredible. I am so glad you are having a great time!!!


We had a great reunion. There were so many who came. Joan was there (everyone said that was amazing) Ann and her family were there too. I think it was about 84 people in all. It rained up there the first night. After 6 weeks of dry that was amazing a good. All the Denzer children came except for Joseph and Tynelle. They felt the baby was too little. Even Rachel and Dan were there. They came home early and we are all happy about that. Jenny and family, Kristi, Aly and Katie were all there too and so your family was also well represented. We do have a great family. Matt and Becca came too. Brad was well pleased.

Keep posting. It is fun to see a part of what you are enjoying.

love, LeeAnn

I'm wondering if you guys haven't had internet access in Canada, but maybe you're just running around like crazy seeing all the neat stuff. I'm missing your posts, so I hope you get a chance to post more soon.

We have not had internet connections for days. It's been frustrating. Candleman will probably catch you up tonight.

I've been meaning to comment on how fantastic and professional the photograph's are. The top one (again I'm commenting on the top one, but I really do look at them all) reminded me to tell you this. Those plants in Wrldwvywrd are known s tkovy because they float on the tk.

okay... I usually don't do this but the Wrldwvywrd word below has to be addressed, especially in light of your recent travels... particularly to Ottawa...

You said it was the first time the Norwegian Army has visited. But has the
