Seven Days a Week
The good news is that when you work for yourself, sometimes you can schedule your own hours. The bad news is that when you work for yourself it’s possible to work 7 days/week every moment that you’re awake. But if you’re lucky, it doesn’t usually feel like work. Yesterday couple of us wanted to touch…

Feeds
Last week Sarah wrote and asked what “subscribe to feed” meant at the bottom of this blog. Being new to the whole thing I wasn’t sure but I promised to figure it out. It’s really easy. If you like this blog or any other, when you click subscribe to feed, you’re given options where you’d…

The Boston Gift Show
After visiting the Beau Chemin Farm on Saturday, my world spun 180 degrees and I was in Boston on Sunday for the Wholesale Gift Show. Shopping for the gift store is both fun and scary. A long time ago we decided that we don’t want the usual stuff you find in a campstore. So we…

So much to tell…

Always a surprise!
Do you walk through life knowing that there’s always a surprise lurking behind a tree somewhere? I do…and I’m seldom wrong…yesterday it came in the form of Spring floods. Like most of the Northeast, we’ve had alot of rain during the past 10 days. Of course the ground is still frozen solid under the inch…

Jack of all trades…
It’s a sparkling day on the Maine coast but I’m hiding behind my computer for the next few hours. I’m not sure how it is for you, but in my world, I read and hear how I’m supposed to do whatever task is at hand, I try to do it the “right way” and sooner…

Happy Monday!
It’s Monday…and not that I’m competitive but just for fun, I’d like to compare my day with yours…and it’s barely noon. After my great cup of Rock City Coffee (www.rockcitycoffee.com) I turned my computer on to download the weekend’s e-mails. Aside from the usual stock investment tips and opportunities to make $600,000 by helping a…

When Should I Come?
A typical phone reservation goes something like this: I answer, “Hello, Searsport Shores Ocean Camping.” The person on the other end of the phone line either says “Hi, how was your winter, how’s the family?” or “I’m thinking of coming to Maine this summer…when should I come?” There’s the 6 million dollar question. If your…

Calendar of Events
Yesterday I started pulling together our Calendar of Events. Tourism studies show that a visitor to a region considers anything within a two hour radius of their home base to be a reasonable day trip. So between our family and our guests, we compile a table of suggested activities that don’t usually make it into…

The “Big City” of Bangor Maine
Yesterday was the day to scratch off 15 items from my to-do list. Because we are fortunate enough to live in a town where small shops are the rule, occasionally this means a trip to the big city…about 45 minutes from here. The mall area of Bangor looks like anywhere USA. All of the big…
