  • We Sold Our Maine Cabin

    Yup, after forty-four years we are no longer part of the "Summer Complaint"downeast.
    At our age (mid and late eighties) being out in the woods was more and more of a chore and probably dangerious even though we had lots of very nice people looking out for us. we pretty much built the place from scratch over the years - from a tar-paper shack with no running water or electricity to a functioning cottage. We got a very good price for it - considerably more than I thought it was worth - and have known the folks who bought it ever since we bought our place - they have the place next to ours as well as several hundred acres behind us and the island out in front - which they bought to keep it from being developed.
    This last Maine summer was a beautiful one - About the only cool weather in the country.
