This past week the Bayshore Baptist congregation put on a Thanksgiving dinner for the community, inviting one and all to come, and delivering meals to those who couldn’t get out. That got me thinking of the story in The Year of Jubilo,.
The Ames family came by their farm, which sits on the Northport/Lincolnville town line, in 1837 through the negligence of one of Benjamin Carver’s sons. It seems this son had let the farm deteriorate so badly that his own father put it.

A gallery of Shebang photos. What happened to all those wonderful handmade masks? Are they tucked away in barns and attics all over the midcoast?

Take a minute and listen to John McCutcheons’s
song “Christmas in the Trenches”. Probably you’ve heard it before, but maybe not. It happened just over 100 years ago, when World War I was devastating France. The story of the Christmas truce held particular meaning for my husband, a connection of sorts for him to the father he never knew.
