Little known Maine Facts
I love a good Maine story. This info was sent to me via email by a 'flatlander' from NJ. He has no idea of the true 'coolness' of this story for me & many of you who read my blog. How neat that Maine is making headlines again:
Christmas wreaths adorn head stones at Arlington National Cemetery. The 14th annual wreath laying event is the result of Worcester Wreath Company, of Harrington, Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.

all those wreathes are really striking....very nice.
moving. I will be there in middle november probably too early to get an up close and personal.
Halloween is a Hell of a lot of work. Grace needed a costume for school that was from a fairy tale or novel but not scary....Heidi..great, not one that you can buy at the wal-mart...so I had to make one from nearly scratch.
Next, Brownie Party...needs some type of historical brownie thing with food and explaination to match. Ok, fine.. cook up and make a 1939 Girl Guide uniform (from the British Empire) with food to match...(choose items that were rationed or balck market in the UK in 1939)
Next...I wanna be a witch to go out for trick or treats...fuck...another costume?...no got an old one in a drawer that can be fitted to work..thank heavens for lucky favors!
A letter for formal event at the school board office and Grace has to dust off the formal Perkins Elementary evening wear. The Queen needs a new outfit for it..I do not since I am only the driver.
I've read the note from Dad gone Mad about the mood enhancing drugs..it does look attractive, but appears to be a dangerous road to start...
Well, I suppose I should not complaining at least I don't have my whole fuckin family moving in with me for the winter.
I'd like to a little bit more of an itneresting topic in the next blog update..this one was a little dry. Ya, I know, If I don't like it I should get off my ass..
Also good Brownie meeting, I note that you were sorta left to manage and escaped as quickly as you could afterwords..I hope it was nothing that I said. Cissy was busy with us, she can be very funny when she wants to.
I got black feathers spread throughout the whole downstairs, I gotta get the vacumn out.
Also, I think I'm gonna go to beauty school and become a hairdresser and open a shop. Work my own hours and be nice to the old women, since other hairdressers are not. Do you think I'll make a million..
Strong suggestion at the Brownie meeting to go down to the school board office with transcripts and beg for some work, with two years to get certified? Shit, an I ever board.
riley had a brownie stain in his underpants today.
oh i just noticed han's comment on the previous post and came to this one to comment on it, since if she comes back, probably won't go back there....soooooo
