Life in Searsport
Today feels more like a photo day than an essay…here’s what’s been going on in Searsport since last Thursday. We’re getting the Spring itch around here but the only green evidence we’re finding comes from the branches of Forsythia we’re forcing in the kitchen and a few timid sprouts from Steve’s early starts for the…

Dad, a.k.a. Zaven, the grand patriarch of Searsport Shores has been carving carousel animals for about 5 years now…He’s studied with masters in Maine and Tennessee and explores his own ideas through books and magazine articles.

Read MoreGovernor’s Conference on Tourism, 2010 The Maine Experience
Tuesday I went to the tourism conference in Augusta…mostly to see friends I catch up with only once or twice a year…but also to hear industry gossip and be lectured on the latest Tourism trends. I learned that when a poll was taken of people who thought about coming to New England, 68% of respondents…

This week has been the launch of Fiber College 2010…we’re looking for instructors to teach the approximate40 classes that are always held the second weekend of September…if you’re interested…click here for the invitation…remember that if you can combine teaching (or vending) with your camping trip…it all becomes a tax write off 😉 In my world…
Read MoreGray, soothing skies
It’s the second day of monochromatic winter…everything is in shades of gray from early morning until there’s no more light in the evening…funny how during these days the nighttime sky is brighter than the one we look at all day. But there’s fresh snow on the ground, now cold winds and we’ve been skiing around…

Read MoreWe’re in Trailer Life!
The phone’s been unusually busy for the last few weeks…and then we figured out why…there’s a picture of one of our campsites and a mention of us in an article about Waldo County Maine…YIPPEE! Don’t get me wrong, we really like being part of a more hidden piece of the Maine Coast…but who doesn’t…
Read MoreAnd another new project…
Between you and me, I wish it would get cold and snow because I’m tired of new projects and that tiny little voice that keeps nudging me to take advantage of our unseasonably warm weather (think 50’s, not 70’s). But alas, it’s still really nice out and this morning Steven was outside working with a…
Read More50’s-60’s Celebration
We got together this morning for pecan Cinnamon rolls and coffee…just to catch up a bit and talk about the months to come…but as always, the subject drifted to camping…and then to “what are we going to do next summer?” And the 50’s-60’s weekend was born…just like that. Tentatively slated for July 30-August 1, Searsport…
