I generally keep this blog focused on the positive things going on in my life, but I’ve had a bit of a rant building up, and perhaps by putting it here, Ill be able to look back on it some July and laugh, so here goes: Dear Winter, I’m over you. This is the semi-apocalyptic […]

So I officially live in the power armpit of Portland. We woke up with no power on Friday, due to the ice storm. By the end of the day, everyone around us had power back, except for my street. So, we stayed with friends in Westbrook for that night, and were pretty sure we’d be

We spent the weekend up in the Ellsworth/Mount Desert Island area. The definite highlight of the weekend was Saturday, when we wandered around Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The weather was incredible (though it was quite cold on top of Cadillac Mountain at 9 in the morning). The foliage was also just past peak,

Today’s reward for working my butt off all morning on the quilt was a walk around Mackworth Island. I managed to reverse my all low tide all the time trend for this year, and arrived at high tide (and a high high tide at that). I’ve decided I actually like the island better at high

We spent the morning at Kettle Cove, which is the free side of Crescent Beach State Park. It’s not quite as beachy, especially today, as we arrived at the highest point of an usually high tide. It was also strangely quiet for a holiday weekend. We had our pick of parking, and were able to

We spent yesterday tooling around York County, something we used to do with a little more frequency in the summer before gas prices went through the roof. It was definitely nice being on the road and seeing what was open/closed/changed since the last time we went through. We stopped at a couple of used book

Today is my aunt and uncle’s 40th wedding anniversary, so we headed up to Stockton Springs for a celebration of that yesterday. We had a great luncheon, with a decent chunk of my mother’s extended family. There was good food, and tons of little cousins running around causing much noise and fun. Hands down cutest

First, a quick note about vacation day 4. I spent the morning doing chores before meeting up with T so that we could take a stroll around the Old Port. Naturally, yesterday was the first day it rained this week, so we didn’t do quite as much strolling as we would have liked. However, we
