We have just returned from France where we visited our youngest son Nicholas who is studying at the University of Rennes this semester. We had a great adventure. For me it was the first time out of North America breaking one of my long standing rules. We traveled with Noah our oldest son and visited Paris, Normandy and the four of us made a side trip to Germany to visit relatives.
I was interested to read that a legislative committee has held hearings on whether it is difficult for Maine small businesses to get loans in the current environment. Here is the article in Tuesday’s Portland Press Herald.
Today is the day that marks the change from fall to winter. It usually arrives right around Thanksgiving here on the Maine coast. Yesterday was warm and windy with plenty of rain. Argy and I went to Bar Harbor to help Noah get the first coat of epoxy resin on his strip built canoe. On our return trip the wind had shifted into the west and was blowing sharply. As the air dried out the temperature dropped. Snow showers are forecast for the next day or so.
