Bangor Thrift Store ( which funds the Hands of Hope Christmas Program) is in great need of gently-used clothing donations.  Supplies of clothing for sale are at their lowest in 10 years.  Bangor Thrift Store is also running a special offer.  Got jeans you just don't wear anymore? They are offering CASH for your jeans: $1-$2 a pair.  Keep jeans separate from the rest of your donated clothing when bringing them to the store; they will pay you for them at the register.

Clean out your closets!  Donations can be dropped off Monday-Saturday 9:00am - 8:00pm, & Sundays 10:00am - 5:00pm.   Got a large amount?  Call to schedule a pick-up: 207-852-0520

Where's Wendy?

I took a small road trip to Farmington. My main goal was to complete my Gifford's ice cream run to visit all of their ice cream stands in the state, but I also wanted to visit the University of Maine at Farmington campus. I spent two years of my college life at UMF and it was cool to walk down memory lane.

The 80th Anniversary Season at the Ogunquit Playhouse kicks off with Always, Patsy Cline

The 80th Anniversary Season at the Ogunquit Playhouse kicks off with Always, Patsy Cline, on stage from May 23 through June 16. This show is told through the letters of star-struck fan Louise Seger, portrayed by Emmy Award winning actress, Sally Struthers. This popular musical, which has enjoyed great success both off-Broadway and across the nation, is based on the true story of Cline’s friendship with Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in l961 and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death. Featuring the unforgettable hits of the Country Music mega-star, this funny and touching tribute celebrates the career and life of the singer who died tragically in a plane crash in 1963.

So this is where all the good food has been hiding...

So this is where all the good food has been hiding...

I like little gourmet items. Nothing big or fancy. To me, spending $22 bucks on a huge block of parmesan cheese is a splurge. But, one that makes me really happy. Rustic places have always warmed my heart with soulful pieces of culinary delight. Rosemont Bakery on Brighton Ave. in Portland warmed me from head to toe for like an hour today. Just to walk into this place is like sheer heaven. It smells divine. To the right, immediately upon arrival is an array of fresh local vegetables that you wouldn't even imagine could be possible. Beautiful crimini & trumpet mushrooms, artichoke heads which are nice and tight, thick asparagus spears, bountiful herbs. I could go on and on. To the left is the wine with thoughtful notes scattered about which direct you to feel safe buying a nine dollar bottle of wine because they are telling you it drinks like a thirty.
