Light houses!

Hi Kids!

We went by a couple light houses on our trip from Rockland to Freeport.  The first one was in Tenant's Harbor.  This light house is owned by Mr. Jamie Wyeth.  He is the son of Andrew Wyeth and the grandson of N. C. Wyeth.  I talked about him before, when we went to the museum to see some of his pictures.  He stays in the light house in the summer and makes his paintings.  Did you notice that there are actually TWO light houses, a square one and a round one, in the picture?

This light house is on Pemaquid Point.  It was the first place Angel Jen and I went for a date.  It has two light houses just like the one at Tenant's Harbor.  The old light house is the little pyramid shaped one.  The newer one is round.  No one lives in the light houses any more.  They are all automaticly operated now.  But in the old days there used to be a guy or a couple who lived there and turned the light on every night to guide the sailors.

Well, kids, that's all for now.  See if you can get the teacher to draw a light house for you.  I hear she's pretty good at drawing things.
