Thank you! I hope you and your family had a wonderful day of celebrating all that you are thankful for! I am really thankful for meeting people like you. I so appreciate all your sweet supportive comments that you leave me. Thank you!
Welcome to Blueberry Plains. My name is Debbie and I live in a tiny little town in southern Maine, not too far from Portland. I grew up in a quaint little fishing village... Yarmouth... and not far from where I am today. It was a great place to grow up...full of relatives and friends. I'm married to a sweet man named Bob and we have been together for about 23 years. We have a 27 year old son named Kyle who within the last year moved to Portland and a 29 year old daughter named Carissa who lives in the big city (Portland). Although an empty nester, I still have one kid at home...my crazy crybaby jet black cat named Baby. We recently lost our beloved Jack Russell named Obie. He is sadly missed by us all. I started this blog to meet other women who may have some of the same interests as me. I love to craft, play guitar, crochet, go to yard sales, cook, entertain, garden and...you know...all those good things us girls like. I live on land that was once called Blueberry Plains so it seemed appropriate to name my blog that. We still have a huge field of blueberries on our land and we pick them every July. We are living the good life over here on the Plains...one day at a time..
