Recently I misspoke and was corrected immediately by a very angry Mainer. It taught me a lesson and I am now going to share what you should never say to Mainers.
I have a few friends out-of-state who I would like to send a little bit of Maine for the holidays. I need your help. Let's compile a list. What would be a great thing to send?
Moxie, it's a Maine thing, to be more precise, it's a Lisbon, Maine thing. The famous bubbly beverage in the bright orange cans is an acquired taste. The annual Moxie Festival is going on this Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout Lisbon and Lisbon Falls.
So, I am flipping through the October 2014 issue of This Old House magazine. I was flipping around and found The Moxie Awards. That is when I noticed one of the ‘awards’ went to Darleen Young of Randolph! Darleen and her family were without power last Christmas when we had that ice storm. BUT was that going to slow her down. NO WAY! Darleen has moxie!
