A weekend away is a good thing.

Friday afternoon I ended up in Bath and surprised Amanda at Mariners Compass. It was lovely and I got a copy of her mom's new book, My Twelve Maine Christmas Days. It's a delightful book and very Maine. (Clicking on the book will take you to Wendy's website) Wendy not only writes children's books. She… Continue reading A weekend away is a good thing.
