Today marks a significant transition: the midsummer step into August (die she must). We are in Maine, so I’m taking this week off from blogging. Below are some memories based on previous escapes to the Pine Tree State.
We live in an amazing place, but in 2016 I finally figured out the true benefit of vacations: perspective. Because “it’s not the actual view that matters; it’s the fact that the view is a different one from home.”
I remember childhood cruises to Maine as chilly and damp, so 2022’s heat advisory was a big surprise.
The Eggamoggin Reach Regatta is One Ton of Summer Fun.
Why I never once mixed up two very similar novels I read the same week.
I’m so glad I captured the joys of a Maine cruise with my parents back when it was just a normal part of every summer.
I hope you are fitting in some summer fun as well, because “August won’t last forever no matter where we spend it.” Share your thoughts about this magical time of year in the comments below, or send me an email. I read every single one, with gratitude (though you might not get a response until next week).
Thanks for sharing this amazing journey, and I’ll be back “live” next week!
August a great time of year and get to share it with you.
