Fred and I were hiking the trails on Monhegan several years ago. The island is one of the most beautiful places ever, with wondrous trails leading to cliffs and ocean. Ahh, the sites, the sounds (or lack thereof), and the freshest air ever!

We had been visiting San Francisco, CA and loved it there – so much to see and do. Then we thought we would try East coast one year then West coast the next year. Not sure what happened with that. Haven’t been anywhere on vacation but Maine since we first visited in 2006!

Monhegan, Maine, for those of you who have not been, is a highly recommended place to visit. Read about it – I have many images on this site (use the search function) – wow, wow, wow! I know we need to venture out, visit other places, but we only have a finite amount of time, so we’ve been sticking with what we know is heaven to us.

Well, we are winding down with summer 🙌 – our summer is like an area of the world that has a long winter – you look forward to the sunshine, we look forward to cooler weather. In the winter we love living here, in the summer we think we should move to Maine – two homes isn’t something either of us want or need. One is enough 😉

I hope your week was filled with a sense of wonder, peace, good food, visits from a distance and the excitement of school classes beginning, whether in person or online. Enjoy every minute!

✍️ Until next time… #maytheforcebewithyou
