A slice of history in Maine...

 Laurie wrote...
"The notebook of my grandmother's poetry had been sitting in a box for nearly 50 years. Her handwritten poems told stories of surviving the long winters deep in the woods of Maine, the mystery of the icy landscape after an ice storm, the odd event when sand storms from the mid-west threw sand all the way to Maine. There were stories of her neighbors and what the women did with their time. This year I finally put all of her poetry into book form so that all of her other relatives could enjoy this wonderful little piece of Gram's story. It was a wonderful project of love to be able to do it."
