It was on this day or very close to this day in mid-April back in 1997 that I bought my first car. It was a 1994 Suzuki Swift. The car, named “Betty Lou”, was a white three-cylinder four-door sedan. Not a muscle car by any stretch of the imagination, but it did get me from place to place. Bought it with 60 some odd thousand miles on it and junked it at about 134K.
That is my friend Amber with me in the picture. She is holding a "Run for Boston" event at 1 p.m. today. This is super easy and gives you "something" to do to show you care about what happened in Boston with the bombings on Monday. Show Boston you are thinking about them. Here is how it works...
My favorite part of a bowl or Froot Loops or Cocoa Pebbles was always drinking the great tasting milk once the cereal was gone. Now, you can get the same benefit without the pesky cereal!
Our summer vacation this year is a trip to Halifax, where I was raised for a few days, then we’re off to Edmundston, New Brunswick. We’re bringing my mother in-law and she is a first timer to Halifax. We’ll probably check out Peggy’s Cove, the downtown waterfront and drive by all of the places that meant something to me. For example my old schools, my childhood home, maybe a few work places too.
You know this story isn't about a place in Millinocket, Bangor, Waterville, Augusta or even Lewiston. Nobody rich enough ever visits those places. No, this story is about a place in Kennebunk (or as those in 'the other Maine' call it, Kenny-bunk. That's right tv news channels 6, 8 and 13...I'm talkin' 'bout you!)....
There is going to be an Evening of Bluegrass on May 4th at the Messalonskee Performing Arts Center. Good music for a good cause. It is to benefit the Messalonskee Music Program.
Congratulations to Jennie Saulmer of Palmyra, our latest winner of a 1 year membership to the Kennebec Valley YMCA with our 'Get Fit Fridays.' A new 'Lose it with the Y' starts soon.
Senator Roger Katz joined us this morning with a preview of what's coming up in the state legislature.
Ok, I have the info. It is ready to be done. I just have not done it. I am getting money back, so I am sure this is not a big deal to the government. But I need to make it legit. I have NOT filed my taxes and I need to file an extension.
Earlier this week we bought the paint to brighten up the kids' rooms. One room, Vikki's is now complete and in a little bit we're attacking room number two, Dylan's room. Vikki's room was a sage green. It was okay. However, it was a flat paint and wasn't very designed for our daughter.
