This is blatantly stolen from the blog of Maryse , but it's just too funny not to pass around.
And what was I watching that I missed this? I'm up every night with Conan!

Everything you never wanted to know about life on a very small island, and the tricks that keep me sane.

- A slightly crazy, sort-of-stay-at-home-mom of 2, obsessive compulsive knitter who is married to a Commercial Lobsterman, and all the fun that goes with that! I live on an island eight miles out to sea. A very, very small island. What does a Boston-born city girl do while marooned on Maine island year round? My response is to raise a couple of kids, cook like a fiend, take on every charitable position available, and have fun! Here's a peek at our crazy life on this rock in the middle of nowhere, Maine!
Welcome to my world!
Frenchboro is one of 14 islands off the coast of Maine that can boast year round residents. There are 31 of us alleged adults here this winter, plus 16 kids under thirteen.
We have a K-8 one- room Schoolhouse, a Library, a church, and a Contracted Post Office. Yes, we get mail 6 days a week! We are able to travel to the mainland 3 times a week (weather permitting), but you may only travel in one direction-on or off.
In 2008, I added the island's first
year -round food business:
There is a general store (with take-out) open May to November,
( Overstuffed lobster rolls on home made rolls!)
Now shipping live lobster nation-wide!
There is a gift shop located within the Museum, and a seasonal take-out, The Dockside Deli, open July and August
You really have to like it to survive here.
On Frenchboro, you make your own fun and excitement. I knit.
Because I don't have a Nanny, and therefore, can't drink.

Very funny - esp the comment about being with a whole 'nother set of people by the time you reached the West Coast.
ReplyDeleteI teach computer literacy to junior college students. You'd be amazed at how they look at me when I try to explain that families used to have one and only one phone and we didn't call it a "land line" because there was no need to describe it any further than the telephone. Oh, and don't let's even mention the anachronism known as the party line!
Who the heck is this guy? I love it!!!
