Rosebreasted Grosbeak
The reason behind it being called”rose breasted” escapes me since it is clearly Red. This mr grosbeak was not enjoying the wind so much on this day but I thanked his feathers being all ruffled up gives him a bigger look than what he really is, still one of the many beauties enjoying my bird area.
Puppy love!
My son is 15 and has his first real girlfriend, I am terrified!! He is extremely sensitive and when something happens it will be like a wall hitting him. I could hope they r a rarity and stay together forever but, one in a million there! It is the one month anniversary and he wanted to get her something, he got all these and brought them home and asked me to put the flowers into a bouquet for him , I had a vase I could use so I came up with this. I am bringing it to his school for him at lunch time but the school said it has to stay in the office till she leaves school. He will have to bring her to see it at the office. It’s cute and sweet and I’m proud of him!! 🤗🤗
Tragedy in Maine
One of our beloved heroes was killed while on active duty,
A Somerset County Sheriff’s corporal has been shot and killed in Norridgewock, according to the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office. He was a 13 year veteran and his son is also a part of the Somerset County Sheriff department. He was a well known and well loved member of his community.
Maine State Police say between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday, Somerset County Sheriff’s Corporal Eugene Cole was shot and killed in Norridgewock.
The suspect then stole the officers cruiser and used it to rob a Cumberland Farms store.
Shortly after 5 a.m., police say the cruiser was located off of the Martin Stream Road in Norridgewock.
That particular road leads in so many directions, one being here to my home, that the police have had to spread out across the state in search.
An active manhunt is underway for the suspect, who is considered armed and dangerous. It has been said John Williams was a very active drug user and gun collector. His Facebook page was filled with end of the world conversations.
The last time a Maine officer was shot and killed in the line of duty was 29 years ago on March 31, 1989.
This sort of things don’t happen to us here in Maine. It has shook the whole state.
please keep in mind, a person on drugs killed our hero, not the gun itself.
Our hearts and prayers are with his family as well as our active officers seeking the suspect.
Rest In Peace Maine hero

Home Depot
I know the Home Depot is everywhere and have been reading nothing but bad reviews about the customer service area. My husband and I went in to get a dishwasher on sale and while leaving saw a refrigerator marked half off. We asked why and was told they didn’t have room for it, it had an upgraded model. Ok, makes sense. On coming home the more I thought about it the more I wanted to change the dishwasher color to match the fridge, so we went in on Friday night and called Sunday morning to ask about changing the color. I was sent to three different extensions and no body had a clue! Was finally told the appliance manager would b in Monday and would get back to me. Nope. Hubby called and after being redirected a bunch of times was told, oh, she didn’t work today!. Ok so now it’s Tuesday, no call, hubby calls and again, go through people to find one who says she will personally write a message to the manager and make sure she returns our call first thing. Nope. So now it’s Wednesday and I’m thinking any chance of it being possible is gone now but so irritated by the customer service I’m going to stick with it. Hubby calls asks for a manager and the one he is given to has no idea on any of it , he is the warehouse manager or something??? Hubby kinda blows, they connect him to someone and at this point we are saying, you ARE going to either change the color or just order another one in the color I want and keep the other in store. The woman totally agrees with us, says she didn’t understand any of the run around and she was personally doing it at that moment while on the phone. Ok. Great. Was going to have to wait a couple ex days but, it was done.
I worked in customer service for years, it was my thing, people, resolving issues and making sure the customer is happy. That is supposed to be the foundation in every company, so what’s with Home Depot?
Now I am looking at this fridge and very nervous, I swear it has crumbs in it, it looks used to me, not just a display model. They say they don’t do that, they do not resell, hmmmmmm.
Love the beauty
Be the change

This is regarding the man on the sex offenders registry that has been terrorizing our kids here in Maine taking pictures of them and then posting them on his social sites with crude and disgusting remarks. This man thinks sex with children should be legal!!!! We need help tightening the leash on these guys and not allowing things like this to happen. The police say they can do nothing because of his rights to photograph anyone in public.
And it starts…..
I haven’t had the best life and most of it was brought on myself, bad decisions, poor judgement and all that goes with it. I had 2017 like a dream from someone else’s life, everything was beautiful, every day I felt like a different person but feared it would not be so in 2018. I don’t want to be right. I know nothing will take my husband and family but if I become a financial burden, if my dr appt, meds and needs become overwhelming, it scares me.
In sept before we even got married I called and talked to someone from Dhs about my Maine care, my medical insurance, I have always had it and people were saying I would loose it once I got married. The woman whole heartedly reassured me that it was not true and even if it came to a change in it that it is a slow process and they give you lots of time and help to figure it all out.
Well guess what, time for my review came and I was told to do this and that instead, then my pharmacist called and said my insurance wasn’t working. I call, again and said I was just in last week with the information that I was told to get, oh no, I don’t know why you were told that, you need to do the review first even if you are changing all the information. So while I am jumping through hoops to get another bunch of papers done, I am out of meds and worried about my life. I need my medicine to live. Literally. I have Addison’s disease and need my meds to survive. I know David would never risk anything coming close to my running out of that medicine but I have others and I am out of two now. I can live but won’t be happy. I really have never had to deal with anything like this. Filing out the papers , they don’t care about loan payments or credit card debt, they want to know gross pay and necessary living bills. The house and vehicle , assets , his work stuff, all the stuff they take out for, not included, they look at our income so differently than how we actually live. I was living in a rent paid apartment, getting food and lights paid for as well. I left that stuff behind and just want the medical but now I see why so many people stay living on the states dime to keep it. I’m totally stressed and overly anxious about it all.
Just a little snow!!
It snowed yesterday here in Maine which is normal of course but today, wow, now that’s some snow!!!
