I once again have led my long-suffering husband to new treasures along the highways and byways of this great country. I never tell the poor man where we are going, I navigate us to the address, telling him to be on the lookout for anything “unusual.” Mister Rain is not…
I have visited lighthouses before going to Maine, but in that state they are as common as CVS, there is one on every corner. I am exaggerating, of course, but their prevalence is not a tall tale. Although our rental house was in Boothbay Harbor, we traveled north one day,…
You know how music can transport you back to a time and place? How we know where we were when a significant personal event occurred, or one that was as far reaching as it can get and still be on this planet, like September 11, 2001. I am NOT comparing…
My husband does not eat seafood of any kind. This can be a challenge when we travel to places like Maine, when I want as much of it as I can possibly get. We were relieved to find that Mister Rain would not have to live on chicken fingers off…
It is always nice to bring home a memento from a trip, it used to be t-shirts and newspapers (my husband loves out-of-town papers) but over time, we began to look for items we could display in our home. We have also begun to collect radio stations in our travels,…

A few months ago, I published the story, “Such A Fine Sight To See,” about Roadside Attractions. On a recent trip to Maine, I was able to direct my long-suffering husband to new treasures along the highways and byways of this great country. I give you the latest fine sights:…
SISTER RAIN NANTUCKET WEEK X2 9 / 10 Per the calendar it was time to leave Nantucket. My heart said something different. But we packed our bags, followed the instructions for closing up the rental house. We had time to kill until our 2:45 pm ferry so we drove around,…
SISTER RAIN NANTUCKET WEEK X2 8 / 10 Even though it was October, we had to go to the beach before we left Nantucket. On our last full day, we walked down the path next to our house, allowing the pounding surf of the south shore to guide us. The…
