Hi Neighbor!
Â
In the beginning of August, we took a week-long vacation to Maine, which is a tradition that I’ve enjoyed since I was an early teen. It was such a great trip. My parents and my brother and his fiancé were with us, which was so special. It is such a treat having a relaxing, multiple day “visit” with them, as usually we’re all racing to meet for an afternoon or dinner before we race on to the next thing.
Â
Part of the beauty of Maine is the quiet. Our home away from home is on a beautiful lake in the Northern, most Eastern point of Maine. We’re just 40 minutes from both the ocean and from Canada. Truly, it is in the middle of nowhere. It wasn’t until a few years ago that we could even get consistent (somewhat) cell service. There is such respite in the nothingness that surrounds the house. There are trees, trees and more trees (and a Moose or two!). The only sounds to be heard are the water lapping the sandy beach, the (very) occasional pontoon or motorboat rumbling past, loons calling (such a cool sound) and hummingbirds buzzing. There is such peace in the air. It really heals the soul.
