Dear Great Pumpkin, On this National Pumpkin Day, I’d like to give you a pep talk. After watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for the umpteenth time, it has come to my realization I don’t know anyone who has actually met you. I can understand being shy, and not wanting to draw attention to […]
It all started a few years ago when Mom purchased a pumpkin Halloween costume for my older brother, Angel Lemmy. It looked harmless enough, a hat and a collar, and Lemmy didn’t mind too badly having to wear it. Little did my family realize though, that small purchase would awaken Mom’s secret obsession with dog […]
At the Exeter UFO Festival, Mom and Dad attended a talk by Ronny LeBlanc of the television series, Expedition Bigfoot, and author of the book, Monsterland. He shared his experiences living near the Leominster State Forest, in Massachusetts. Specifically he talked about his personal encounters with Bigfoot there, as well as his research into the […]
It seems like everyone is getting dressed up for Halloween these days. Dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs like to don a costume in the spirit of the season. But would you believe spiders are wearing disguises this year too! Why back in my day, a spider was scary enough just being a spider. But […]
Gather round my friends. There’s a Halloween feel in the air today. So join me as we take a candlelight stroll down memory lane to a story I first shared in 2019. This tale, inspired by true events, is a homage to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843), and continues to haunt me to […]
Asa’s World Tour of Maine continues with a visit to Calais, Maine! Located along the St. Croix River which separates the United States from Canada, it was named after Calais, France, in recognition of the assistance the French gave us during the American Revolution. However, rather than pronounce it the French way, “Cal-lay,” Mainers have […]
Asa here, and I have some wonderful news to share! I went for my 4 month follow-up with my ophthalmologist for my Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, and I got good news!!!!! My apologies for all the exclamation points, but I’m super excited. Remember when I last posted about my right eye, we were concerned because […]
In our continuing quest to hike as much of the off-road portions of the East Coast Greenway, we took a walk along a stretch of the Down East Sunrise Trail! The Down East Sunrise Trail is a multi-use trail consisting of 87 miles, and is the longest off-road trail on the East Coast Greenway. Following along a […]
Not everything during our visit to Eastport, Maine went according to plan. In fact our hike at Shackford Head State Park quickly turned into a bad situation that could have easily been the plot of a Stephen King novel. Shortly after starting our hike, we were fleeing from the trail! When we arrived we were […]
Asa here. Chuck Billy did a great job yesterday describing the attractions to see in Eastport, Maine. However, he neglected to mention one special exhibit that was there just for one day – us! On the day we visited, there was a cruise ship docked at the historic Port of Eastport… …It was ginormous! And […]
