Bangor, Maine
Blog friends, I’m finally ready to tell you something. The reason I haven’t written for awhile – it’s because of a big life change coming our way. Tony and I … are moving to Bangor! Bangor is about 2 hours north of Lewiston, and where I did a lot of growing up. It’s where my […]
Happy Halloween!
