Characters of the County: The Seaglass Lass is Class

Brunch, Please! Another Ode To Beverages and Benedicts
I’ve long been a fan of the Damariscotta River Grill. Between the happy hour deals to the meal that I’m pretty sure convinced my parents I made the right choice moving to Maine, the River Grill cemented itself near the top of my list of local eats pretty early on.

Paws for Thought
One of my favorite things about pet sitting is I never know which of my furry friends owner’s will ask me to visit them. I may get a call, a text, an email, or, sometimes, I run into an owner at the grocery store or the gas station and they let me know when they’re going away. It’s always exciting to look at my calendar each month to see who I’m scheduled to visit.

Past and Present: No Greater Love
Last Friday, Feb. 3, an anniversary occurred that is now almost totally forgotten except by those who knew about it at the time. It is only a footnote in the history books, if it is mentioned at all. Unfortunately, it is not taught in schools.
