Beth Ann Chiles/ Food/ 7 Comments/ 398

Who knew that the gift for 42 years of marriage is COVID? Well, apparently that is what our gift was this year which explains my absence from blogging for a few days while I claw my way back to health. I’m getting there but definitely Continue reading →

Maine Foodie

Beth Ann Chiles/ Food/ 30 Comments/ 606

Go ahead. Fill in the blank. I am waiting. What would you say is one of the best things about vacation? The rest? The relaxation? The lack of a schedule? The adventure? All of the above? I love all of those things as well but Continue reading →
