Maine
My husband and I own a piece of land on a cape in Maine called Squaw Point. Our property is vacant and has a right of way to the ocean. This is as close the ocean we will ever be able to afford. There is a granite foundation on it that was probably part of a farmstead in the 1800's. Squaw Point was used as a summer camp by Native Americans as a summer camp. I found broken crock pieces piled on the foundation (probably a neighbor had gathered it) The decoration dates the crock to about the mid-1800's. Maine holds a special place in our hearts and we were there this summer for three weeks. I love to walk the beach and collect crab shells, sea glass, sea urchins and find every once in a while a stray lobster buoy. My neighbors are very friendly and uniquely varied. Someday we want to build a house on this property and are in the process of drawing plans. I have already started saving garage sale finds to decorate this house in a seaside theme. Today I am cleaning the shells and seaglass that I found on the beach last week and plan on making a wreath with what I found. Makes me homesick for the shore.
I have a blog!
It took me a long time to figure out how to have a blog site and it happened by chance. Now I have a place to hash out my thoughts. I'm a Lutheran Christian, Republican Conservative. I have been married to the same man for 30 years - 28 of those spent as the wife of a police officer. I have two grown sons who are both married and are expecting children in the spring. I'm going to be a grandma - woo hoo!!!! I am very opinionated, very involved in my church and a garage sale maven. I have more Christmas, halloween and Thanksgiving decorations than I care to admit to, but I love to decorate. I probably listen to and watch more political news than I should. Thanks for stopping by.
