There's great joy to be had living and working in Maine.
Today I got to make one of my favorite drives, up route one along the coast. My destination was West Rockport, and I got to drive through picturesque New England scenery (think lobster shacks and church steeples), by rocky coasts and on bridges overlooking the ocean. Although the sky was overcast and foggy, there was little of the traffic that often ties up the road in summer.
I was traveling to the Carver Hill Gallery where I was putting on my seminar Building Traffic at Your Web Site. I had never been to the Carver Hill Gallery, but I'll definitely go there again. The artwork they had displayed inside and out was just brilliant...big sculptures, tiny paintings and everything in between.
Jana Halwick is one of the owners of the gallery and met me when I arrived. She couldn't have been sweeter or more accommodating. She showed me where I was going to be speaking, The Cider Barn. To quote the Web site, it's "a meticulously restored, mid-1800s, four-season barn, attached to the Gallery, can be rented for any special occasion." It really is.
The catering was great, too. Once I realized how close I would be to Camden, I contacted my good friend/client Lani Temple over at Megunticook Market and asked if she would cater. She said "sure" since she had just registered for the seminar anyway! I wish I had taken some photos of the spread; although they were "just" deli sandwiches and wraps, they were amazingly fresh, like everything Lani makes.
Lani was also good enough to man (woman?) the camera for a while. I uploaded the photos she and I took to flyte's flickr account to a set called Web Marketing Seminar at Carver Hill Gallery.
It was also good to see old friends like Annie Mahle, (another friend/client), who runs Maine Adventure Sails. In fact, it was Annie who set up this event, as she didn't have the time to come to one of my Web marketing seminars in Portland.
Yes, today was a good day in Maine.
