As I sit here writing this month\u2019s blog, I\u2019m shaking my head saying \u201cHow is it August already?\u201d But then I think back over the last few months and all the places we have been and the things we\u2019ve done this summer and I realize we\u2019ve been having fun! And you know the saying \u201cTime flies when you\u2019re having fun!\u201d Oh how true that is!<\/p>\n
Fortunately we have even more fun planned for August! We start off the month with lunch at Miller\u2019s Lobster in Spruce Head\u2026a beautiful little spot right on the water. The very next week we will be out <\/em>on the water aboard the Laura B from the Monhegan Boat Line for a Puffin & Nature cruise.\u00a0\u00a0 This will be our second time aboard the Laura B, last year we did their Lighthouse Cruise and once again we will enjoy a picnic lunch prepared by our very own Bartlett Woods kitchen. It\u2019s sure to be a great day!<\/p>\n Bay Chamber Concerts puts on some wonderful concerts and we try to get to at least one every year. On August 14th<\/sup> we will be attending the \u201cPush Farther\u201d concert on the Village Green in Camden. \u201cPush Farther\u201d is a Maine based group that performs progressive folk with blues, classical and fiddle influences. Once again our kitchen will provide a picnic lunch and we will enjoy another beautiful Maine summer day.<\/p>\n We are super excited to bring this young and incredibly talented fiddler, Owen Kennedy to Bartlett Woods. He will be here on the 19th<\/sup> fiddling away the afternoon for our residents. He has his own website where you can listen to his music\u2026be prepared to be amazed, when you learn he is only 13 years old!<\/p>\n Our biggest event of the year will be on Friday August 23rd<\/sup>, it is \u201cBartlett on the Boardwalk\u201d. Picture an old fashioned \u201cConey Island\u201d scene, just in our back yard. We will have games, food, music, a mime \u201cSilent Bob\u201d, photo booth, and more fun than you know how to handle. This will be our third year hosting this event and our residents really look forward to it, I think it\u2019s because they get to dunk a staff member in the dunk tank. But I think it really is just all the fun they have!<\/p>\n Along with these great events, we have some fun speakers this month, Tom Jamrog talking about hiking in Vermont and Renny Stackpole giving a history on the Whaling Voyages.<\/p>\n We will also have musical performances by Josie and Sophie Davis on their violins as well as The Route 17 Ramblers.<\/p>\n As always we have our ever popular scenic rides, shopping trips, lunches out, a walk along the Boardwalk here in Rockland, games, discussion groups, craft groups, exercise classes, cocktail hours and more.<\/p>\n There is always something going on for everyone to enjoy and we\u2019ve saved a seat for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Karen Tooley<\/p>\n Activities Director<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I sit here writing this month\u2019s blog, I\u2019m shaking my head saying \u201cHow is it August already?\u201d But then I think back over the last few months and all the places we have been and the things we\u2019ve done this summer and I realize we\u2019ve been having fun!
