About Me

I live in Mahoosuc Mills, a small town in western Maine, with my husband Charlie and our little dog, Scamp. Never heard of Mahoosuc Mills? Can’t find it on a map? Well, it’s true, we’re not on a lot of maps. But trust me, we’re there. You just have to know where to look.

When I’m not helping you get in touch with your “innah Mainah,” I work as a cashier down to the Super Food World (formally the A & P) and moonlight doing books for the Smitty’s Hardware and the Mahoosuc Mills Mainely Maine store. My hobbies are country line dancing, crafts and having adventures with Celeste, Rita, Betty, Dot and Shirley (a.k.a. the Women Who Run With the Moose).

I love traveling, too, and talking about life in our neck of the woods. Plus, as a Certified Maine Life Guide, I even dabble in a little motivational speaking, if you can believe it. Oh, and check out my Maine Humor blog and podcast, Just Ask Ida and my facebook page. I’m drawing the line at Twitter, though. The only one I want twittering me is my husband Charlie!
