It had always been our dream to return to Maine, the playground of our youth. Both of us secretly dreamed that someday, we would stop punching a time clock and we would live on our own little piece of land. In July of 2009, we went back for a family reunion. When we returned to Missouri, we found ourselves sad and very homesick.

The first night
Kevin went to closer on the house the beginning of December. It was the first snow of the year in Amity. He stayed in a hotel the first night there, drove to the house the first day there, and did a walk though since the place was unlocked.There were actually no keys to the house, in a town of less than two hundred people, I guess there isn't a real need. There was no working furnace in the house but Kevin stayed there for two nights cooking over an open fire outside. He had a kerosene heater in the house and an oil lantern, but no power and no heat, plus the isolation was pretty tough. I rented him a hotel room for his last night and pretty much insisted he stay there where he could have a shower and a warm comfy bed.
