Pandora’s Box

A few weeks ago we got a new kitten, Pandora, to keep our cat Zeus company, since he’s not going out here in Eastport (being a Cali born cat, Zeus thinks it too cold).

She’s a load of fun: pandorasbox

Loving Life In Eastport

It’s impossible to not appreciate the pristine beauty of Eastport, Maine. Every day seems like a perpetual vacation. I’ve found it easy to settle in and live life on Maine time… The pace is slower, there’s no need to rush, and it’s a great feeling to not be tied to the consumerism of living in the city.

As often as possible I get out and walk, rain or shine – warm or cold. I’m itching to paint again and looking forward to a new camera to hone my skills. For now I am loving life in Eastport.

Settling In At The End Of The Middle Of No Where

Greetings Readers… I wanted to check in briefly and let you all know that I have not dropped off the face of the earth since embarking on my journey across country to move to Maine. I am settling in here in Eastport, Maine, my new home, which my daughter has dubbed the ‘end of the middle of no where.’

The air is clean and fresh here (and cold), the scenery is just spectacular and the people are friendly and welcoming. The entire trip across country was quite an adventure, which I will write more about once I am settled in and election day is over.

Many thanks to Stuart, Hart, Michael and all the writers at The Dem Daily for keeping The Dem Daily buzzing in my stead. I promise I’ll be back online more regularly soon, once I am unpacked and back on track.

Down East Here I Come!

Over the past few weeks I have noted in a few posts that I am preparing to move across country. I’ve kept meaning to write more about the move and let readers know what’s up but have been so busy with all the preparations, that I haven’t had time to blog about much of anything some days (once I am re-settled in my new home Down East, I’ll be writing more).

So here’s the scoop, readers…

After 19 long years of living in Los Angeles (San Fernando Valley), I am moving back to the East Coast. I am originally from a small city on the coast of MassachusettsNewburyport. I am heading further North in my move however, and will be living in Eastport, Maine:

Eastport, Maine is a beautiful small coastal community on the border of Canada. It’s a fishing port and artist community that is surrounded (as you can see from the map above) on three sides by water. I’ve missed living near the ocean, so I am thrilled to be moving back to my roots in New England, and particularly to move to Maine which has been a dream for many years.

I will be setting out from Los Angeles three weeks from today (October 19) with my daughter (and our cat, Zeus) and a friend to embark on a great adventure, driving cross country (from the South West corner to the North East corner) to our new home in Eastport, Maine. Thankfully, my business is a wholesale internet based business that I can run from just about anywhere.   (more…)

Dreaming of Maine

I’ve been dreaming of moving to Maine for a few years now. I’m starting to look at making the dream a reality. It’s a big step, a giant one in fact… a move that will take me from Southern California to the tip of the Northeast coast of Maine.

The weather will be vastly different. The culture and lifestyle will be one more like I was accustomed to for the first 33 years of my life. I miss the east coast, the more rural way of life and most of all, I miss living near the ocean.

I’m dreaming of Maine…
