UPDATE'S, Where are you in life, and your move to Maine (Brunswick: storage, store)

[BacktoNE]

I don't want to give details yet, as it might jinx the whole thing, but fingers crossed for us this week coming up. Something might be happening that would make returning home a lot easier. Probably not quicker, but definitely easier.

We made it to Belfast.
Unpacked the Uhaul this morning and turned it in.
Just now sitting down to relax. It is great to be home.
The weather is perfect!!!
Going to the middle school tomorrow to see about enrolling our daughter.

Safe travels everyone.

Excellent!

Welcome to Belfast. Now your adventure really begins....

Please eat at Chase's Diner and think of me

[msina]

welcome home

Eating at Chase's will NOT be a problem and I will think of you while enjoying my lunch.

We have been visiting family all over the area and tomorrow we are checking out Brunswick/Topsham. DH may have a job opportunity in the area. Monday, we are heading to MDI. DH has never been and I want him to see the park before he flys back to TN.

I'm off to Hannaford's to fill up the pantry.

Doesn't it feel great! Even though I'm just a newcomer, I had an epiphany the other day, when one of my larger, old clients from NC (with whom I am still working, remotely) commented that she was sure I would be back there.

Now, mind you, we have yet to find "home" in the sense we need to -- our plot of Earth and trees with a cabin on it (and good internet connectivity for my work <g>) and are stuck for now in "the most ghetto trailer park" in my view...

But when faced with that opinion from my friend and client KA, and I thought about returning to NC, I realized that even "the most ghetto trailer park" in Maine is better for me than anything I could have (or even anything I couldn't have!) anywhere else, especially the South.

I love the fact that it's gardening weather and still of the morning I wear flannel; I love the fact that it is STILL SPRING ('cause in my book, it should be) and spring happens slowly enough you can enjoy it. I love the idea that we will not need the AC, most likely, even here if we are stuck through the summer; it COOLS OFF at night. The wind blows (and we can hear it in the trees).

So I told her (as gently as I could, because she is still a friend and a client) "I don't think so..." and I am happy here.

Nice post, starwalker! It's nice to hear that you're enjoying Maine and that you feel so at home. Can't wait to do the same!
