The Colonnade: a place of welcome

A lovely place for fresh brewed coffee and the day's newspaper...on cold days, the fire warms us, on hot days the air conditioner is cool and we can watch the swimmers in the pool.

Portland: the Farmers Market

The Portland Farmers Market...first we get up early in the morning and walk to the bus, which takes us to the light rail, which takes us to the city center. There we get off the train and walk across the street to board the trolley, which takes us to The Farmers Market. We walk up a long parkway...

I'm feeling terrific these days and I've decided that as July careens into August I ought to take stock, give a full...

Girl's Weekend... Portland, ME

With Kim in town for the weekend, Allie took her on an overnight trip to Portland. They went to the spa on Friday afternoon and went to the lighthouse on Saturday. Allie had a nice trip with her sister and did not have to worry about about the boys. It was nice to see them back on Saturday night.

Reincarnated Children

Today's topic is Children who claim to have been reincarnated. If there's one thing that bothers me, on a personal level, it's the thought of children being trapped "in spirit" within this physical plane. If there's one thing that truly intrigues me, it's those stories of children who claim to have...
