I just started my own, "Letters From Away," about being a native Mainer living elsewhere. I grew up in Portage (Aroostook County), but have lived on the Left Coast the past 26 years or so. Keep it up! And I'll be back for ideas on how to improve my own blog. I just found your blog and love it so far.

A very very important aspect is work and whether you need employment. You may have inspired me to write a post for those considering a move Downeast. I'll have to get on that soon. Or if you want to contact me privately, there's a "Contact" area on my homepage. I could answer specific questions you may have. No mosquitoes in Eastport (and no black flies either)!

We like cool summers and don't mind snow in payment for the summers. I miss the smell of the sea and the green we had in Portland, Oregon. We are planning /hoping to come for a month when we can. Probably not until august. We would love an old farmhouse with a big gambrel barn for sweet man to have for his wood shop studio. But we really want a nice town that is walkable with friendly people ...some culcha would be nice. Got any recommendations... Do you have mosquitos downeast.

I am living in the "heart of darkness" at least it often seems so. We did not intend to be here for ever but at times it is hard to tolerate the narrow thinking and the prejudice (ironically much of which comes from people who moved here from the most liberal and tolerant of places). I look forward to reading more about your experiences. Well, I am glad to find your site. I am living in the “heart of darkness” at least it often seems so.

I had a kitten years ago that did the very same thing, ran with the toilet paper, ruined my curtains, would knock down baskets off the wall and destroy them, I had her spayed and it all ended..She all of a sudden became a calm kitten. Before that she was the kitten from hell when we weren home. I love Maine. I spent all my summers up there from the time I was 5 until I was 18 in Milbridge. It is very beautiful up there, I have not been there in 14 years but would love to go back again. I know live in AL/FL far cry from Down East. If it werent for the cold long winters I would move up there in a heartbeat. Good luck with your cat and living Down East. Pam I really enjoyed your story about Midge.
