Hey, we made it to the Biddeford-Saco area!



Just stopping by to say hi quick - still unpacking. I have to say, though, I LOVE this area. The house is great, the neighbors are great, and the towns are absolutely beautiful. It's definitely not Orono - it's much more urban - but still, we're loving it down here.

I need to do some reading, and catch up with everyone. Lynn and Russ, if you see this, how are the plans going to move up north?

We are progressing with the pub/tavern. Lynn and I just joined the Maine Restaurant Association. They are a great group and are happy to see us moving forward with our plans. We are coming up there on a scouting trip in early September to help find an area. Orono and Freeport are the front runners at the moment. Lynn and I are also working on the menu by experimenting with recipes. I really need to get moving on the logo but may wait until we get up there in September for inspiration. So as you can tell, we are getting there. Not as fast as we want to but we know we can't rush into this adventure.

Stay in touch!
Lynn and Russ

Freeport should be a gold mine in the summer as long as its in the downtown area. Closer to LL Bean the better. It becomes flooded with people.

Thanks for the well-wishes.

Hey Molly, I opened the window my first morning here, and this wonderful breeze wafted in - smelled just like the ocean.


By the way... THERE'S A DAIRY QUEEN 3 MINUTES FROM US!!!!!
