On the Summer Solstice of 2000, I lost someone very dear to me. On June 21, 2000 my mother lost her battle with cancer. She joined my father who died eight years prior. There was always an evident look of loss on my mother's face after that rainy April day in 1992, but it was gone the day she left us. Their love for each other transcended 5 decades, and their love for their children continues even after. this letterbox is in honor of my parents' memory.
Drive to Brunswick, ME. and after parking at Cabot Mill on the corners of routes 24, 201 & 1 enjoy a day of shopping, eating and antiquing in this small gem of an old New England mill village, where one can find the beautiful Ivy League campus of Bowdoin College.
When youv'e gotten your fill of spending money return to the parking lot at Cabot Mill to walk south down Route 1 to the pedestrian suspension bridge. Enjoy the views, while you feel the bridge sway gently beneath your feet. At the end of the bridge turn right down a grassy path framed by antique Black Walnut trees, towering majestically overhead. Enjoy the many species of birds: woodpeckers, finches, cardinals, orioles, jays, hawks and ospreys just to name a few that I saw.
Continue walking down this path, surronded by the aroma of the Multi-Flora Roses, to a grassy clearing, before yo ucome to a chain link fence, to find a 1 foot square concrete brick that has benn painted yellow. roll this over to find your reward. On your way back to your car, the same way as you came, remember that 50 years ago two teenagers fom up the road "Lisbon Way" would come down to this village and spend the day in much the same way as you just did.
