I just returned home from my annual family vacation to Ogunquit, Maine. We have been going there for about 13 years, and it truly is the "Beautiful Place by the Sea" as their signs say. I was constantly on the lookout for blues (and pinks!) that I could share with the blogging world. Smiling Sally hosts Blue Monday and has a list of all the participants wh9 would love to have you stop by and see their blue treasures.
One of our favorite places to eat is the Maine Diner, just north of Ogunquit on Route 1 in Wells. It seems like it is always packed, no matter what time of day you get there. Many big-time food critics have eaten at the Maine Diner, and lots of celebrities have signed pictures that hang on the walls. The diner has a long history and the photos and articles on the walls are interesting to read while dining.
Here I am with the blue menu.
Our waitress Julie was kind enough to model her shirt and get her friend Mandy to join her. They have so many fun shirts in their gift shop. I have the same one as Julie, with the picture of the state on the back.
With these old buildings, even after renovations you have to be careful with the plumbing!
I hope you've enjoyed my blues from the Maine Diner. I'll have some vacation pinks on Saturday, and more blues next Monday!

A good posting for Blue Monday. Just look around you and there you are. Thanks for sharing and happy blue monday.
Oh, Elizabeth. Your post brings such a smile to my face this morning! We used to vacation near Cape Porpoise (near K-port) and the Maine Diner was always one of our favorite stops. What a great place to get a good meal. We have a few of those tshirts in our family. It's been two years since our last visit and that's just too long. Maybe next year. . .
Thanks for the nice post!
Beautiful...I hope some day to visit there!
I have just loaded your link. Happy Blue Monday.
Oh, you're so lucky! I've always wanted to go to Maine! Elizabeth, I've sent you my mailing address again this morning! It's the third time. Hope this time is the charm. I don't know why you're not getting my e-mails, but this time, I didn't reply to yours, I just copied your address and composed a new one. Hope it works!
Elizabeth, how blessed you are to vacation in Maine! I love it. We went a few summers ago, and I would love to go back.
The Maine Diner looks like a fun place, and those are some cute t-shirts. Love the blue menu, too, and the blue sign in the bath. LOL!
They've got their priorities straight loving blue that way! ;-)
Happy Blue Monday and love to you...

You've selected a wonderful town in which to stay for your vacations. My girl's waitressed at the Oar Weed restaurant when they were in college. We became very familiar with the town. I loved your blues. Have a great day.
