The thought of creating boundaries was always the one thing causing… Read more

  • How they made me feel

    I had one of those moments this morning…I liken it to a sparkling dust of wisdom falling from the sky and gently landing on my shoulder. It’s those ah ha moments that gently ring your bell of recognition and it feels like….like….a thunder shirt for a dog. It was just ANOTHER small glimpse of a… Read more

  • Mansplaining. (not for the faint of heart)

    For 6 decades I have endured conversations with men who were hell bent on explaining things to me about things I know more about than they do. Like woman things or let’s say folks on the other side of my profession aka the other side of the radio explaining my job or just things in… Read more

  • You know you don’t have to be an asshole!?!.

    I was exiting a parking lot onto a frontage street…there were cars trying to merge into the line…so thinking everyone else would do the same thing, I allowed a car in….hoping the car behind me would do likewise. They did. The guy behind the car I allowed to merge was so desperately offended that I… Read more

  • Things not always the way they appear

    Listening to a group discussion Saturday morning, I could not turn away from the view out the old windows of the building. I was focusing on the red tile roof. I realized that I had viewed these roofs often from a car window and from the ground…from afar. I liked the way these roofs looked… Read more

  • I’m pretty sure it was just last week

    And I’m not talking about vacation. The semi-annual event of changing out the warm and cold weather wardrobe….also known as..the OMG I FORGOT I HAD THAT … THIS IS BETTER THAN SHOPPING event. Fortunately being an empty nester pack rack, I have extra closets for the cyclical clothing exchange. As well as this huge tote… Read more

  • Gloucester, Mass…Glawster

    The oldest seaport in the United States…Gloucester shares the land point with Rockport. We are at that point of the vacation where we are ready to head home….still enjoying the sites but less zealous….. We stayed overnight in an out of the way hotel…the Sea Lion. It was quiet and outdated and comfortably simple. My… Read more

  • Northeast Harbor and Producer Dick Wolf

    The trip to Pemaquid lighthouse was my favorite day until we made the Northeast Harbor our 2 day home. Northeast Harbor is on Desert Island which is also home to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

  • What the Maine coast looks like…granite

    We took a day trip away from the hustle and bustle of Boothbay Harbor…over to Pemaquid Lighthouse… The travel time consuming aspect of the Maine Coast is driving down into each peninsula or Island to see things shore related. But also these little side trips south give you the opportunity to slow down and relax… Read more
