northern [exposure]

 all the conditions were right last night to see the northern lights.  i read up on how to see them in maine, and was prepared to see a few dancing lights on the horizon.  i had no idea they would actually fill the sky.  i've seen several astrological events in my life, but this was by far the coolest.

a pizza [history]

relatively new to south portland, it’s always sad to see a place that’s been open for so long close its doors. pizza joint, established 1977.  took some photos of it’s last day in operation.

[gone] fishing shacks

 moments after a noreaster, destroyed the historic fishing shacks, in south portland maine.

[mom] and mary

thought i’d share a story about my mom

 

in 1991 a tornado hit the church we attended.  the next day mom went up with her friends to help clean up. they found the blessed virgin mary had fallen into the “v” of a chair that protected her from debris and damage. after removing the wall that was on top of her they found she barely had any damage, just a chip on her dress. mom took mary home and kept her at our house until the new church was built and its there to this day.
