DeeDee visits Debi in Maine

DeeDee Arrives!

"Hi everyone! I know it's been a long time since I wrote, but I have finally arrived in Maine to visit with Debi and her family! Upon arrival I was greeted by Sophie (Debi's travel doll).  She was getting ready for the Barbie convention and wanted some pointers on packing.  It's her first trip so I gave her some basic tips."

"Here we are with our luggage.  Hers is a bit bigger than mine and she is only staying for a week!  Guess you must bring lots to conventions."

"Later as I was unpacking and getting settled in, Chris (Debi's husband) spotted my rubber duckie.  He just had to share his rubber duckie collection with me."

"This morning Sophie and I enjoyed tea on the sun porch, and we talked about possibly going to see the ocean later this week. Tonight Debi is going to take me to work with her and treat me to a lobster dinner!"

"Debi has been busy babysitting her nephew, Dawson. Here I am helping out."

DeeDee has a Lobster Dinner

"I am having such a great time so far here in Maine, and I am still full from dinner. I got to sit on the deck at the Muddy Rudder restaurant and eat fresh Maine lobster and clams.  Yummy.  Here are some pics.  Enjoy!"

"Here is my dinner, the traditional downeast clambake with lobster, clams, baked potato, corn on the cob and clam chowder.  I couldn't even come close to finishing it all!"

"A view of the deck and the Penobscot River"

DeeDee's Picnic in the Park

"Today was hot here in Maine.  First, I got a new outfit because my jeans were getting a bit hot..."

"Sophie and I put on some sun dresses and skirts and went out.  We helped Debi do some gift bag shopping for the upcoming Barbie convention."

"Then we got lunch and went to the park."

"There was a fountain there, and I was really wishing I had brought my swim suit!"

"Lastly we got a picture taken with the huge Paul Bunyan Statue that is in front of the local auditorium.  It was a fun day!"

Dee Dee says Good Bye!

"Well I had a great time here at Debi's and Sophie's house.  I went to Bar Harbor yesterday and did some shopping and then came back to home to watch the fireworks.  Unfortunately the pictures of us at the fireworks didn't come out, but I have some others to share with you!"

"Today we went to Stephen King's house, but he wasn't home.  So we took a picture outside."

"We found this cool Barbie tin chest in Bar Harbor yesterday.  Debi just had to have it!"

"Here I am saying good bye to all the girls...oops..and guys!"

"Here I am shaking hands with the Queen of the Cabinet, Debi's #3 Barbie."

"My other new good friend Pixie gives me a squeeze good bye."

"And lastly a hug for Sophie!  I will miss you, but maybe we can see each other at the Barbie Convention!  Bye and see you all soon!!
