Charcuterie

----------------------   Charcuterie


       Bring the sharp mustard
       and a good knife to cut it
       cold cuts all around

Wild Flowers

``````````````````````   Wild Flowers


             Lupines stand tall in bloom
             so fat as they fill with seed
             welcome invader


                 GINSU-KNIFE   EASTPORT , MAINE   USA

   Should these iconic plants be allowed to live in 
   a different environment? 
   Invasive species can pose a threat .....

Beaver Stick,,,, ,, Maine

*******************   Beaver Stick


                   Pointed on both ends
                   the sweet parts have been eaten
                     the kits dont eat first

Rag Bagger With Notes

__________________   RAG BAGGER


      What is a blowboat
      which way does the warm wind blow
      Im lashed to the mast


      GINSU - KNIFE     EASTPORT , MAINE   USA


    Ginsu Knife was the name of my sailboat that I sailed for years
   here on the Maine coast and into the Bay of Fundy, Canada.
    That boat could slice and dice the strong currents and cut
   through the Downeast fog like a hot knife through butter.

    After my wife died and it was just me and my daughter , age 9, I was
    after something that we could do together.
    I looked at airplanes and boats. Im a pilot and had a grass airstrip in 
     the back field, but I lived on the coast.
     I ended up with a sailboat , though I did not know how to sail.
   Well , we learned to sail and did lots of it, plus it was a good weekender 
    with cozy bunks and and a nice little stove.
     Best decision I ever made.
    Daughter went on to being an ocean exploration team leader and sailing 
     coach at a summer camp.
    Yes , she is quite salty.  As is her daughter.
     Family tradition.

Violation With Notes

::::::::::::::::::::::    VIOLATION


        All dreams were shattered
        why would she do this to us
        I can not let go


               GINSU - KNIFE     EASTPORT , MAINE   USA


     Yes, looking deep and looking back at Mama.
      She was far from a saint.
      It was a hard taught lesson from a bitter woman.
