You win, ALF wins and we get a chance to show off Maine's extraordinary lighthouses and give back to our community. For more information check out the ALF web page.

My message to anyone who is the least bit hesitant to go on this cruise is GO! I have been on two lighthouse cruises, and they were wonderful. These noble beacons are beautiful to behold, and the stories of the brave men and women who ran them are inspiring. The cruise is also very educational. Ted is a terrific expert, as well as being a warm and gregarious person. I've had the pleasure of visiting lighthouses on various memorable occasions. Climbing to the top of the light and gazing at the view is an experience you will not soon forget. As if that were not enough of an incentive, you also get to spend a week on the beautiful and graceful Mary Day. Go, go, go, and help support these fabulous historical landmarks. You'll come home with memories of the trip of a lifetime.

On Monday afternoon Mary passed away very peacefully at home, surrounded by friends and “family”. Her departure was as graceful as the rest of her life. Many people, including Jen, have been doing heroic work to support Mary these last few weeks. Oddly enough Mary was never very excited about transitions though this was about the fastest transition she ever made. And as I struggle to let go of Mary I realize I am terrible with transitions as well. We used to joke about how we liked things just the way they are, thank you very much, so why change what is working already even if it might be less labor intensive. Hard works is its own reward. I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...
