My ex was raised in Rockport in the summers, worked with her mother in a friend's restaurant out on the Neck. They lived winters in Lexington. Her father was a Navy officer and was away for the war and a bit after. Her mother later lived up on a hill above the harbor in Rockport, don't remember the name of the road. In the seventies, we moved her out of the house and she relocated in Florida. It was a nice town then and I assume is still a great place to live.

Thanks Bruce and Bill. A few pictures just do not convey the rugged beauty of the coastline nor the picturesque little harbors and villages. A vacation of from two to four weeks staying at B&B's or inns for a few days at a time at various spots along the coast all the way up to Machias, ME and then back down through the lakes and streams and mountains of western Maine, the White Mtns of New Hampshire, and finally the Green Mtns of Vermont will give one an idea of Northern New England.... but you'll want to stay longer and I certainly won't blame you. Now, if you've got a couple of years to spend, you can start at Greenwich, CT and work up the coast into RI and then Cape Cod, Nantucket, Martha's Vinyard....
Dave and I were commenting just yeaterday that we have no reason to leave New England - we've got it all right here.

Just think Dave, for $1500/acre, you could buy yourself a few acres out in central Kansas, put in a garden, raise a beef cow and have yourself a little bit of heaven. If you start now and plant a tree and be sure to water it, in 10-20 years you could have a shade tree.
Bring John Dunkle. I know he likes to fiddle with high performance engines, and an old tractor( the Porsche of the Plains) always needs fixing. |

Ok fair enough Bruce. But I'll go ya one better. Near my brothers place in Vermont I can buy an acre of land for $1000.00 a beef cow for about $500.00 and I will have all the oaks,maples,beech,ash and soft wood's to last a life time.Plus some grouse and woodcock to keep me outta trouble. That's my little piece of heaven....But I really think that this country we all call home has more natural beauty and diversity than anywhere on earth. I just love my New England because "It's what I know"...
