As usual, life is floating by quicker than it’s supposed to…and it’s not just me who says this, I hear it every day from guests who are forced to return to their “real” lives before they are ready to pack up and go. Here are just a few more photos of the July holidays. Every…

I’ve been thinking some about the 4th of July plus I’ve had the opportunity to visit the Searsport Shores camping crew. I hope you enjoy reading my guest posting. From Boston the bus ride is an easy trip. The coach is new and comfortable and they show movies on board. First up is a very…

Oh my gosh it was a great week…but I’m getting older and it seems to be taking longer to catch my breath.  Instead of writing a good blog posting with photographs, I’m going to go sit in the sun and pretend to watch the office.  But I didn’t want you to think I wasn’t around,…

Here at “The Shores” we have one person on staff full time who’s primary job description is bathrooms. This year, it’s Julie from Ticonderoga New York.…

We’ve enjoyed a week of weather that the Maine Office of Tourism dreams about video taping because everything is picture perfect…the gardens are lush, the trees are brilliant green and around here the Bay is sparkling as though it were rejoicing in the sunshine too. As we become accustomed to these long afternoons, it feels…

I’m in one of those moods…so don’t read this if you’re looking for happy, happy, happy…this is the real life of running a small business in a Mega Corporation world… First, poor Queen Lollie and Sir Neeshee are itchy…they’re suffering from a bloom of biting lice…with a bit of research and a quick call to…
