Sorry, can’t chat! Grandma is visiting for a few days and I have all sorts of things planned for her Maine vacation! Our Grandma is from “away,” which loosely translates to anyplace other than Maine. Therefore, Asa and I want to show her why the state motto is “Maine: The Way Life Should Be!” However, […]
Avast me hearties. Once the desire for treasure gets into your soul you cannot shake the urge to find it. Such is the case with Asa. For 4 long years he’s been on a quest to find the fabled untold riches hidden by pirates along the coast of Maine. Many a night Asa has dreamed […]

Every so often Asa surprises me with his profound thoughts. It doesn’t happen often. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to re-share Asa’s rather astute observations on spring.

Seven years ago on this date I joined my family and changed their lives for the better! Oh sure Lemmy was happy living with just Mom and Dad, but he didn’t know what he was missing. Luckily for them, I was a precocious puppy; clever, mature, and ready to lead them on an even grander […]
Wow, who would have guessed one errand could trigger such a roller coaster ride of emotions! Oh, it’s me Asa.
