Isn’t it comforting to be able to say, “Everything’s the same back in my little town”?? I find it so very comforting and welcoming to go back to a place you love dearly; a place where you collected your most cherished memories and find it untouched by

too much so-called progress. That’s so rare in today’s world.

Amie, what a lovely memory of your mother! Seeing your little village inspired me to dig out her Boothbay Harbor collection I bought at a local barn sale outside Philadelphia a few years ago. They weren't a steal but I had to have them! We moved recently & I haven't located the right setting yet, but they are special to me as I have "original Karyl art" of our favorite place. Wish I had the Southport set as well, I have to keep looking I guess.

I remember you showed me that little village. So special, as is your poetic reconstruction.
