Maine Diaries 2016

This year Joseph and I were a little more organized with our pre-vacation prep and packing. We woke up, stripped the bed and made it up with clean sheets. I know it’a a little much for some people, […]

On the Way Home…

As Joseph and I traveled south out of Maine, we started listening to a book on CD. It was James Patterson’s Sundays at Tiffanys. By around 9pm, we had checked into a hotel and were on our way […]

The weather people were finally right…they said it was going to rain and it’s pouring down in buckets! We started getting some packing done and the cottage looks a mess. Time to go home… Joseph likes to “ease […]

I Confess…

It’s My Dirty Little Secret OK, we all have one. I’m confessing mine. It’s television shows. And not just any television shows. Mindless ones. It’s an addiction…no, it’s my tranquilizer. Some people drink, others smoke or take drugs, […]
