Montville, Maine
The place of my birth, my childhood home, and the home of my heart. I grew up on Hogback Mountain, where I picked wildflowers, played in the brooks and streams, built forts in the forest with my sisters, walked up to the ledges to have some quiet reflection time, enjoyed the chicken BBQ at Field Day every year and by eating Grammie Ella’s raspberry pie, watched my nieces and nephew be born, and where my children get to explore and learn to love. I grew up here, I'm from here, and I'm FOR here. Montville, the way my life is!
