At the end of last summer, the Women Who Run With the Moose (my friends, Celeste, Rita, Betty, Dot, and Shirley) made me throw away my old bathing suit, in order to force me into buying a new one this spring.

Spring has finally arrived in Mahossuc Mills, Maine. The daffodils are in bloom, the trees are budding, and we are fast approaching my favorite time of the year: yard sale season!

I just love yard sales. I love going to them and I love having them. Because the thing is, if you go to a lot of yard sales, you have to have a yard sale every once and a while to get rid of all the stuff you bought at the other yard sales.

Hi there! This is Ida LeClair reporting in from Mahoosuc Mills, over here in western Maine. Never heard of Mahoosuc Mills? Can’t find it on a map? Well, it’s true. We’re not on a lot of maps. But trust me, we’re there! You just have to know where to look.

My niece Caitlin convinced me to do this. She said blogs are the hottest thing going, and I like to keep up with what’s happening. I figured writing a blog would take less time than having a Facebook page, which Caitlin said can “totally take over your life.”
