I love it!!!


It may not be diamonds or big and flashy but that just not me. It’s still a little unique and has to be one of a kind, just like me.

Last night my son came inside from being out messing around and there was a knock on the door. We figured it was one of his friends so he got up to answer it. He closes it and comes back in and says” it’s David”, I was like,”what? Why is he knocking?” Branden says “idk” so I get up and go open the door. There’s my wonderful man, one one knee in front of the door with a ring , he asked me to marry him!!!!! Of course, I said “YES”!!!!!!

He said, it needed to be “official”. He said, I needed to “have a ring”. He said, “now everyone knows how much I love you” 

I said, “I most definitely Love You too.”

Never did I think 

Never did I imagine

It’s always just been dreams, fairytale 

Someone else’s happily ever after

Now it seems my prince has come.

Blizzard 2017


This is the way I remember it being when I was a kid. Not really in February but the storms and snow up to your waist. I am still stuck inside!! Well, I could go out the front were my son made a path to go to school but my truck and the back door , well, u can see!!! 

My son’s little path will get me out but, not to my truck. Then will I even be able to punch it in 4 wheel drive to get out?!!?

Oh, Maine winters…..

Hopeless!!


That’s it I give up. I am going to just come out and confess that I am hopelessly in love with David! This man is like no other! He thinks of me first no matter what. He worries he will disappoint me, he makes something he’s doing harder for him so it’s easier for me. I have never really known anything like this. My life has been filled with men who are in one way or another abusive and to find one who is , whole, it’s amazing!! I find myself being embarrassed by his compliments and I have yet to become used to him opening doors and being so protective of me on the ice and snow. I know I lived a lot of my life sorting out myself by understanding my past but I have decided that I’m tired of looking behind me. I have discovered enough to feel as if I am capable of loving myself and others as I was meant to. I may not have learned it all but I think it’s enough. I don’t want to look behind me anymore. I have decided it’s time to look ahead at my future and how I want it to be. I also have decided that he is the one I want to do it with. The next two months will be packing and moving and unpacking as the process of closing the deal for the house starts and my new life will begin.

I recently brought my family to the Poland Springs Park in Poland Springs, ME. The hill and area contained on top the said hill once had the wondorous Poland Springs Resort upon them. People from all walks of life from presidents to common men came to this spot to relax and drink in the “miraculous” waters contained there in. The resort is no longer there but the Maine House, a tourist mecca, is in the general spot where it once was. Here is the photo set from there and I encourage everyone as always to check out these great places.

You are walking in the woods and suddenly, there in a clearing are two locomotives, rusted and aging but trains all the same.

This is the case in northern Maine in the Allagash wilderness, once one of the top foresting areas in the country. Trains were once used to haul all of the timber out of the forest farther southward to be shipped to far places. It was a very lucrative business. Thanks to The Department Of Conservations Of Maine website they put together a amazing historical narrative of the trains.

“There are not a lot of places in the world where you can be hiking through a remote wilderness and suddenly stumble upon rusting locomotives. One of the things that makes the Allagash so fascinating is the possibility of a sudden discovery of remnants from a bygone lumbering industry. For example, you could be walking through the wild…
