May 3, 2023

Her husband, notorious for driving from point A to point B, making only necessary stops along the way, succumbed to the allure of Portland's Old Port for a brief visit.

A Family’s Taproot
August 11, 2022
We usually visualize a landscape or a city street when people ask where we're from. Most of us associate home with natural elements or architecture - rolling hills, lakes, a bustling Main Street, or a favorite tree in the park. But for Donna, her childhood "home" and family's taproot can be found in her dining room.
