Pick us out a nice Merriam, won’t you … ? Poor timing on our part — his show wasn’t up yet when we visited Dan and Linda during our sojourn at Bailey Island.

There are a couple in the $60,000 range. One of those perhaps?

Adam, I just noticed your Bailey Island reference. I’ve been told I was conceived there in the piano house at the Adams family’s grand property at the end of the Island. (A person doesn’t forget a tid-bit of information like that!) Next I visited there when I was 10 (although I don’t remember the piano house, just a sailing lesson from a relative of hers), but I haven’t been there since. How is it now? And does it still have that amazing road to the island made of enormous stones stagger-stacked to let the tide through?

Come on, Adam, we’re all waiting anxiously for an answer. What if you had bought the house where Jennifer was conceived. How ironic would that have been?
adam
Dunno nuthin’ ’bout no (other) Adams family (and have no comment on any such use of anybody’s piano room), but the granite crib (or cob pile) bridge still stands — unique, I believe, in the world. You can read a bit about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey_Island_Bridge
It carries more serious traffic than I imagine was ever envisioned, seems in good shape, and still allows the tides to come and go as designed.
The house we vaguely fantasized buying on Bailey Island would have represented but the lawn shed for any of the older properties, certainly any having a piano room …

Drizly morning? Hot coffee on the porch? How about a pic of that bush that obscures the view…
michael
The view to the ocean fades into the gray sky, but the bush still stands tall and green. I guess I don’t mind it so much these days.
Thanks for the update, Adam. Now, Dan, how about gettin’ us all up here some day? In lieu of a fall camping trip perhaps?
