Murphy knows importance of being a good listener
Ah, summer in Boothbay Harbor. Beautiful sunny skies, gentle breeze coming off the water, sitting on a blanket on the grass while someone softly reads to you, it's a dog's life. At least it is for Murphy, the 11 year-old therapy dog. Young readers joined Murphy on the Boothbay Harbor...
YMCA – a greater impact indeed
We go to the YMCA to strengthen our muscles, take classes to become more flexible and participate in activities that make us healthy and feel good. What had a great impact for me and my husband, Robert, was the love shown by the water aerobics class. At 92 years old, Robert has attended aerobics classes for many years. After a fall he was hospitalized and could not resume classes until his strength returned. Lolly, the water aerobics instructor, created a song for Robert and then made a video of the class singing the song and dancing the chicken dance in the pool followed by well wishes from each participant.

A look back at a Maine author summer
As summer winds to a close (not technically, but it feels like it, doesn’t it?) I can’t help but feel like it just barely started. Even with the climate crisis giving us shorter winters, the logistics of summer in Maine really haven’t changed. The seasonal businesses open up around Memorial Day or a little after. In June, the summer people start trickling in. Things ramp up after Fourth of July, then slow down two short months later, after Labor Day.
What Would Albert Einstein Do?
Einstein said, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.” If he were here today, I think he just might join us on one of our Mysterious Harbor Tours, offered as e-bike adventures and walking discoveries. Each tour promises a unique blend of local experiences, designed to unveil the eerie and enchanting sides of Boothbay Harbor.
