I was raised in Maine, 15th generation of the oldest family here...in the oldest town in Maine! Can you guess where I was raised?

I love living in Maine...although I am not a fan of the winters or snow. I live close to the coast, in southern Maine. I love that I can be at the beach in 5 minutes or in the mountains in an hour. The location is great because it's an hour to Boston, or 45 minutes to Portland, Maine. This makes it such a great, diverse place with easy access to most anything you would want to do, whether it be a stroll on the beach with the dogs, or a days ride into the mountains to relax and take in the scenery, or a trip into the city for shopping and fine dining!

And in the winter when it's cold and snowing, we fire up the woodstove and it's so nice to chill out, get comfortable with my girl, read a good book or watch the flakes fall outside the windows.

What do you like about living in Maine? What's it like in the part where you live?

Hey Mainely!

I live on the Canadian side of the eastern most Maine border crossing, and my Sweetie lives on the U.S. side. It would be the best of both worlds.....if those darned "yes on one" folks hadn't gotten involved! Don't know the southern part of the state very well. But I'm sure we'll be down there at some point in time, as my Sweetie has family down there!

Oh yeah - my family was part of the group that founded my town! We're both descended from our local pioneers I guess! Huh?
