Mainer C. Lobster sits outside of Taste of Maine restaurant in Woolwich, Maine on Route 1. Isn’t he glorious? Having a lobster this excited about well, everything would probably bring a lot of sunshine...
While in Boothbay Harbor, Maine last week, I was drawn to a lovely olde tyme gas pump standing outside Gimbel & Son’s Country Store. I’m not much of a shopper. If I venture in at...
