West End Court


Not the back roads of Maine, but a trip down memory lane... I went to Connecticut last weekend and spent a day with an old friend that I had lost touch with for 30 years. We did the tour of all the old places, some of which are now gone gone gone. West End Court is a little road behind the main street of Old Greenwich where I lived in the mid '70's. I lived in the first house with my brother, and friends of my brothers' lived in the other cottages. In the '70's, the cottages all looked like the second one in, all about 800 square feet, basic places to live, and we loved it. We had the best time living there... lots of good meals all together, the rock climbers hanging out in the front yard. It was the best time of my life.

The Feeding Frenzy


The owner of this little health food store/cafe hand painted these signs. The store is called The Feeding Frenzy in Woodstock, Maine, just north of Paris, and before Bethel. It is located in a really old creaky building that smells great... lots of natural foods, and the BEST meatloaf sandwich I have had since my mother made them for me back in the '60's.
