Very much enjoyed another visit to the Red Lobster restaurant on Noland Road in Independence, Missouri. I've eaten here many times since retiring to Independence from Jonesport-Beals area of Maine 20 years ago. Always ask for the Jonesport booth so I can share a bit of Maine with friends like Margaret Jensen and Diane DeGroot.

A severe storm in Downeast Maine in 1934 left Moosabec Reach between Jonesport and Beals Island frozen solid all the way across, which made it possible for some daring souls to walk 1/3 of a mile from one town to the other, Photo courtesy of Michele Openshaw Fuller
