Maine is a wonderful place in which to live and work.
Having summered here as a child, I have many fond memories, old and new, of wonderful places to capture in my designs

Success

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty, and to find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.



Based on a poem by Bessie Stanley,
but generally attributed to Ralph Waldo
Emerson
