Thanks NMLM!!! Maine is everything we wanted and then some. Our dream is still alive. Who knows, it may turn into something else. There are many options up here if you dig deep and chat with folks. |

One of my first posts here was in answer to a question about whether newcomers are welcome. My reply was that Maine needs people. You will be welcome. We want you to succeed and will help and encourage your success. It's like the old frontier where downs actually recruited people. That had never heard the term "critical; mass", but people instinctively know that below a certain number of families there is effectively no community. We struggle against those who have that as a goal.
I'm too busy for a rural cleansing rant this morning.

Thanks!!! Every afternoon while we are having dinner, we stare out into our backyard and smile. It is like seeing it for the first time.
We aren't going anywhere. This is home to us. |

Good for you Both!!
I think having the time to settle is a better plan just the same.
