I have a little bit of news to share! After a lot of writing, rewriting, and quiet moments in between, my first books are now live on Amazon, both Kindle and paperback format. These stories have lived with me for quite a while. They’re cozy romances about second chances, about distance (in all ways it […]
If you’ve never experienced the Maine coast on a cold day in March, you’re missing out. Yes, it’s cold, but that is what pockets or gloves are for. This past Saturday, we went to Bailey Island in Harpswell, Maine. We stopped at where the road actually ends that has a gift shop at the end […]
I wrote this post in 2022 after moving to moving to northern Maine from the midcoast, but had issues with the photos not showing up. Hopefully they now can be seen as they are important to this post. I hope that I will now get back on track posting regularly. I’m going to start this […]

These accessories make a difference, especially on international flights but also traveling […]
Are you ready for Spring to arrive now and yet it is still only February? Longing for splashes of colorful flowers amongst the greenery and blue skies? Maybe you are ready for a change in scenery or a bit of adventure. We have a bit of winter to get through first but before we know […]
Busker is another word for a street performer. I’ve seen buskers singing and playing musical instruments. Buskers sometimes also create art in some form to entertain on the street. During a trip to England I had a chance to observe one such busker who transforms sand into dog sculptures on Petty Cury just outside the […]
