The past few days ,in my spare time, I am reading your site. I have fixed the mock meatballs and the two mix- in -the pan cakes. We really enjoyed the recipes. God always opens up ways to feed me spiritually and to inspire me. I was looking for a quick cake recipe after my granddaughter had asked me to bake her a sweet treat.So what I thought was a random recipe turned out to be a feast of blessings. Thankyou so much! Very encouraging site! Hi Shirley ,

I grew up in a small town. And now 40 years later I reside in the small town that my husband grew up in just down the road. I have only been out of New England once in my life and I that was only for a few days. I feel that there might be a difference in living in Northern New England verses Southern New England. We in the north seem to have a slower clock if you will, than the south. We have a way of holding on to the old ways a little more tightly. The sense of community, heritage, home and family are cherished here. I don't mean to say that some places in the southern part of N.E. are not still like that. It is just more common with the north being more rural. Thank you for the wonderful blog. I really have enjoyed it. Shirley,

Thank you for the wonderful blog. I really have enjoyed it.

My husband and I moved from York Maine to Wilmington NC 2 years ago and miss New England so much. It is a different world. I believe the changing seasons made each day new and I cherished our time there. One day we will be back to our "home town". Until then thank you for adding the beautiful pictures. I love the history and beauty of New England. Sounds beautiful! My husband and I moved from York Maine to Wilmington NC 2 years ago and miss New England so much. It is a different world.

I live in Northern New England too, a transplant from CT when I was 7. This IS home. I hate the winters, and the mud season, but have tried living other places and can't imagine living anywhere else. Thanks for your blog, I am really enjoying it. Thanks for sharing this. I live in Northern New England too, a transplant from CT when I was 7. This IS home.
