I was curious to see how many of us are from New England? I know of a few, but was wondering how many of us are here. I'm from western Massachusetts. Maybe one of these days we could have a get together of all of us, somewhere centrally located for everyone--I think it would be fun!

Sigh, I am a misplaced Maine girl. Currently stuck out all by my lonesome in Colorado. Maybe if I can trick...er...convince Dh to move back east, I can join a get together .... someday.:smball:

We vacation in Maine every year--love it up there :) This year we are going to Sebago Lake, last year we were in Princeton, so relaxing and peaceful!

All my family lives in the greater Bangor area. I miss it terribly there.

It sure is beautiful up there. We were 2 hours east of Bangor last year on vacation.

Well, I'm a Texan currently living in Maine. A year ago, if you'd have told me I would love living in Maine, I would have laughed you out of the room!

It is just so beautiful there! And I love the temperatures. Check back with me in the winter to see how I feel then though.

I still work for a company in Texas, so I go back there once a month. I'm also spending the summer there at my Dad's with my kids. I LOVE seeing my family, but seriously wish it was in Maine where it is so much cooler!

I am getting all homesick now, lol. Sigh.

Melani, where abouts in Maine are you? This year we are going up to Sebago Lake for vacation.

Gina - we're in Topsham (right next to Brunswick - where the base is). It's a little more than an hour away from Sebago Lake.

We've driven over there and it is just gorgeous!

I won't be back in Maine until the second week in August. Right now, I'm back in Texas, sweating to death in all this heat! LOL.

I am in NH.
We live near Concord, NH

Hey neighbor! I'm over in Gilmanton (moved her from manchester too). My parents live over in Hill.

Oh wow Laura!!! Hill is 5 minutes from my house!

Small world, isn't it?

Yes it is a small world! My parent love it there. When we were still in manchester, we were looking at buying a house in Franklin on 3A headed towards Hill, but someone put an offer on it the afternoon I looked at it. We also looked at some raw land and a house over by the hospital. You know those new houses that are pretty much on the Hill line? I had called about when they were just selling the land, but they wanted top dollar for them. I guess I wasn't meant to live there, LOL.

Just out of curiousity, what kind of house did you look at on 3A?

It's on the right hand side as you're going towards Hill. It's an old NewEnglander, yellow with a one car garage (they just had the driveway paved not too long ago). It has an enclosed front porch, and I think they have a sail boat in the back and a wooden swing set. I'm not sure off the address, but it's a few miles up from Robert's market and all that stuff. I know that's not a help, huh? LOL

No, actually I think I know which house you're talking about.
I'm even further up on the left hand side coming from Robert's Market. I have a light blue ranch with a 2 car garage.
Wouldnt' it have been funny if you had looked at the same house?

That would have! But atleast I would have known who bought it out from under me, LOL. That's OK, as they say, things happen for a reason.

But, we should have a central NH get together sometime, that would be cool!

That would be cool!

I am in Nashua, NH

That's about an hour from me. Although I could probably do it in 45. LOL

DH lived in Nashua when I met him.

NW Connecticut here.

David I live in Bristol, CT

I am from Old Town Maine and right now we have about 6 inches of snow I wish would just melt away and warm weather would be here instead.:smball:

Nice to have ya with us! I am not currently in new england...I am from Bangor, but I am misplaced in Colorado until i can get DH to move.

I grew up in Mass til I was 16 and visited family back there often - til now - no more more family left there:( I lived in Wabin, Wessley, Wibraham --but mostly springfield -- around 16 acres if any one knows where that is.

And oh my --sarahlyons --My 13 y/o grandson lives in Old Town , Maine ---actually Indian Island. Small world, heh?

I miss Friendly ice cream and the great corn beef we always got at Guss and Pauls and of course Maine lobster.

We vacationed at the cape (before my mom passed) a few years ago with my brothers --had a good time too.

Sher

Suezy--I'm one town away from Wilbraham, I go thru 16 acres all the time. Gus and Pauls, gotta love the corned beef sandwich with a dill pickle--yumm!! Now I have a taste for one of their sandwiches, I may have to stop there this week :) Friendly's--I love it too, I used to work in the office about 10 years ago. Gotta love their peanut butter cup sundae!! We vacation at the Cape too, in Hyannis, my parents have a cottage there.

gkp --how funny --it is a small world. I was surprised how much 16 acres had changed since I grew up there (I'm 56) But I do love New England ---it's so pretty. Can't believe you know Gus and Pauls ---Last time my DH went there on business - he brought me some home on the plane ---you should have seen the looks he got from security. Too funny.

Hello from Maine!
We are in central Maine. I'm a born and bred Maineac!
Nice to see some other New Englanders here!

Smithfield, Rhode Island, here :)

Hi, I'm a newbie and I'm from NH, little tiny town called Wilton! Moved here from another little tiny town called Chester about 2 years ago. I like little tiny towns!

Welcome!!

I'm not sure where Wilton is but I know where Chester is!
I used to live in Pembroke and Allenstown and now live in Franklin.

I live in Pembroke, when and where in Pembroke did you live??

Wilton is near Milford (am I right), I have a friend who less then a year ago moved to Wilton.

Eileen

Oh, geez, lol I lived in Pembroke about 6 years ago. I lived right next to the overpass and river. (down below the overpass).

I also lived in Manchester for many years before and after Pembroke.

I know where Milford is!! lol

Wow we moved here about 6 1/2 year ago, we live on Donna Drive which is near the Irving Station (which is now closed)

Eileen

Hi, lots of New Englanders! Yes, Milford is next to Wilton. We wanted a quiet private town, we found a spot, and they are building houses all around us! Oh well. At least the people here are very nice, kind of like Mayberry!

I don't remember the name of the street I lived on in Pembroke. I wish I could! lol

NW CT here to - Danbury

I live in Hartford, CT - Connecticut's beautiful capital!

I actually took a business trip to Wilton NH two weeks ago - man, it really is a small town in the middle of nowhere (meant affectionately)!

I'm currently in Worcester, MA. I am from Sutton, MA (two towns south of Worcester).
