We’ve known about Owls Head, Maine, because of our previous next door neighbor in our community in Annapolis. Susan and Norm Thomas spoke about it often and with such love, that we knew we had to experience it for ourselves. The Thomas’ moved away from Annapolis about 10 years ago to return to Susan’s …
