Dad's In Maine

Our dad is in Maine! He and mom have been building a cupola since July and this weekend it
was loaded on our friend's trailer and hauled up to Maine!













This is the cupola as the crane is lowering it onto the house roof~


















And this is the cupola in place in all its glory with a pretty rooster weathervane!

















Dad is away until Sunday, which means that mom eats crazy stuff for dinner! Who wants to cook when you don't have to!

The plan tonight is to watch one of my very favorite movies in the whole wide world and to have popcorn! The movie is "Because of Winn Dixie"!












Mitch has never seen this movie before so it should be even more fun watching him enjoy it!














The weather here is dreary and rainy so it's the perfect night to relax and enjoy!
Light the candle mom and let's get started! I'm ready!


So until next time................


Love ya lots,


Maggie

    Wish I could snuggle up with you, your mama and the MOOSE Man and watch that movie. I don't sit still for movies, but I could help with the popcorn.

    BTW, that copula is gorgeous!!

  19. The scenery of the cupola suits the house very much.
    Can the window of the cupola be opened from among the house?
    And, it is a lovely vane chicken.

    Please spend the weekend in popcorn and the movie.

    My mama does cook for herself either - when she is alone, she makes Cherrios and lets us have a couple.

  25. That cupola is very cool. Your mom does what our mom does for dinner. Popcorn is good dinner, right?! Especially with a good movie. We wish that we could come over and watch it with you.
    Woofers.

  26. Your Dad does great cupola work! My Mom would love one on the garage so she could stick our Bedlington weather vane on top of it but she says don't hold your breath for Dennis to do it. OH well we'll just have to stick it in the garden and look at it.
    I don't eat popcorn but I love to snuggle up!
