Red sparkles in Maine

Here’s some of favorite photos Jordan and I took from this week’s activities around Portland.

My L.L. Bean red sneakers purchased for about $12 (on sale) from llbean.com

Preview on juicy cultural snacks in the North Carolina/Greensboro area I plan to blog about in the upcoming weeks:

North Carolina textile industry: A dying breed? Hope not. The textile industry’s newspaper ceased publication–just this week!

North Carolina Blueberry Festival (Pender County): Okay. Fine. The blueberry-themed action took place in June, but still worthy for discussion. I’m apprehensive on organic fruit, but let’s see how open-minded I can be.
