A seaside cottage on the coast of Maine….small book stores, cozy cafes, no wifi, reading a good book in the cottage reading nook ………

Sounds delicious. How far is it from Augusta, Maine?

We used to pick a different part of the Maine coast every Autumn to rent a cottage & chill out with our dog for a week or two…Kennebunkport, Damariscotta, Camden, Arcadia…..Haven’t been back there in years…missing it :))

Spent the last hour dipping my toes into other adventures you’ve offered. I am notorious for scrambling things up, so cross your fingers.

The Heron Dance grabbed me today and I took the plunge.

To design a crocheted granny square jacket for myself for the fall. I love granny squares and they are a hot item in the crochet world right now. My Heart says I must make one.😊

When you make it, I'd love to see it!

Crazy that the first responder is in a bookshop “down east”.

For me, for the first time in my life, I am feeling "the strange pull" of what I really love eminating from another person. This is all very new for me. So, I plan to nourish it, and respect it, one day at a time and see what comes next.

Got the three messages, filled in my name, but unable to create a password. Do I already have an old one that is messing me up?

Unfortunately I have no way to know, Marie. You're apparently dealing with the Substack platform. What were the "three messages" about? When you tried to create a password, whet happened? I can try to help but you might need to deal with Substack's customer support: https://support.substack.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=18072734266516

Soooo- I don’t need substack to be with your group?

You're on Substack right now. 😊 The Raft (my online community) exists on Substack. You get my emails from Substack. You make your comments on Substack. I don't think you could comment if you weren't logged onto Substack. So I'm not sure what messages/password issues you might be having. Are you reading on your computer or your phone?

Ah-ha…there’s the rub (with apology to Bill Shakespeare). Substack has me listed as a FREE client. Guess they haven’t caught up with the news. Meantime, I have several new friends via The Raft just for signing on. I gotta get my morning miles in. Thanks for your nimble response.

I am pulled toward more and more performing with my ukulele. I was never one to lead a musical group, so I am pushing the envelope!

Maybe there is no envelope to push? 😘 May you and your ukulele have fun on your adventure!
