No other way around it. It's not pretty in Maine. Grey snow, brown grass, bare trees. People call it Mud Season. I think it's more like Sand Season. Everything is dirty, sandy.
Annelle is at Four Rivers doing laundry. I'm here in the, as yet, unnamed condo, patching walls. Next step is application of some cool, paintable wallpaper stuff that will hide the existing sheetrock problems. The wall is behind where the washer and dryer are, and I'm going to hang shelving, so I figured it was a good place to experiment.
Jack is settling in. Still cautious, but he's coming out from the covers and exploring. He's eating again! And sitting in my lap in the evening like always. He hasn't tried to run out the door yet, but I'm sure it will come. :(
Things we have in our new neighborhood:
several friends
local eating places
taverns/pubs
the good liquor store
tattoo parlors
The Aladdin market
Back Cove
USM
the melting pot Hannafords (grocery. very different from our previous Oconee County type grocery)
Things I will miss but can visit:
the marsh
Black Point Inn
So it looks like it's going to work out nicely. Eventually, when I get it together, I will post some photos.
HA! i forget how lively my disco Hannaford can seem... it's just another day in paradise for me. i almost always have a good story to tell!
