I love the image of tomboy Amie at 12 with her yellow grapefruit-shaped transistor radio, Seventeen magazine and baseball bat. Whatta kid! And whatta mom! That yummy pie too! Can’t wait for more cool orts and reports from Maine!
Oh, what a wonderful post. You're mom was something else, so super duper neat. I LOVE that sampler, btw.
I can relate to the tomboy reading Seventeen magazine (and then Glamour, and then Vogue), and listening to the Sox on RKO! Does life get any better?
Key Lime Pie - yum x yum. So very cool that you can spend your summer with your mom and grand mom in spirit. This post was such a sweet look into your mom's and your life, all those years ago. It translates as family love and fun.
Loved this glimpse and the key lime pie sounds amazing!
Memories of my father who sampled key lime pie through Florida every visit
A man with a mission! Did he have a favorite restaurant?
welcome backkkkk!!
Welcome back to your Maine island home!
It truly is Cloud 9 here!
Charming. I love the little shoes in the drawing.
And I love that you noticed, Vicki!

Stay tuned; I’m currently on a quest to find the perfect donut!
Now that sounds like fun!

Key Lime pie sits atop my list of favourites.
Superb post and those sweet shoes.
An absolute joy to read.

Wow, Seventeen, Maine, and Key Lime Pie. Heaven.
Love this daughter. Have a great time in Southport. ❣️

Seventeen magazine was the BEST.
What a poetic post. Such immersive, layered writing. Thank you.
