As we continue our celebration of Maine’s 200th anniversary, today we are sharing the rags to riches history of lobsters! Lobsters are now considered a delicacy, but it wasn’t always that way. This lobster tale is all about supply, demand, and changing perceptions. Early explorers to New England marveled that lobsters were so plentiful that […]
Does anyone know if there’s an expiration date on sanitizing wipes? While Mom and Dad continue organizing and now reorganizing everything in the house they stumbled upon this container tucked away in a safe place in the office cabinet.

After being home for months I expected Mom and Dad to be a bit rusty when it came to going on car rides. However, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine they’d completely forget how to go on an adventure! Would you believe over the long holiday weekend we went for a car […]
As we continue our celebration of Maine’s 200th anniversary, we’d like to share this often overlooked Civil War event.
