As those friends and family likely all know, in October, I bought an old "1-3/4" house (2 stories, but not the entire house) in Rockland, Maine, and David (my significant other), Ella (our 3 year old hound-herding dog mix) and I moved from Connecticut to Maine. And here is where we intend to spend the rest of our lives.
This blog is intended to keep friends and family updated with what this major life change has brought to our lives, mine in particular. I don't know how often I'll write - probably about weekly, sometimes more and sometimes less often, I suspect. I expect I'll rant about things in the wider world that "get" to me, laud people and happenings that make me laugh, cry, hope or dance, and not all of these posts will be Maine-specific or even personal. But if you want to know what I'm thinking about from time to time - drop by. If you have anything to say in response to my rants, my lauds, or otherwise - please leave a comment.
And in the not to likely event that anyone other than friends and family may be interested in the happenings of this blog, I'll leave it open to the public. Everyone welcome - from here and from away.

The Maine coast is just beautiful, Laurie -- congratulations to you and your posse for having moved there. But have you heard they have winter?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, a rumor to that effect has reached my ears. We've even had a little snow - none to stick around. And it has been cold - but today was a balmy 45 degrees, sweatshirt weather! It was a grey, overcast day and I spent much of it immersed in a delightful book I just bought, "Creamy and Crunchy - An Informal History of Peanut Butter, the All-American Food." Then David and I took a big green salad to a local church where we joined with members of the local synagogue congregation in setting up, serving and cleaning up a meal for the church's soup kitchen. All in all - a good day.
ReplyDeleteBalmy? 45 degrees is balmy?
ReplyDeleteIn any case, it appears you've brought your penchant for doing good to the land where 45 degrees is considered balmy and they will be the better for it.
