Waterville District Court today was open for despite the snow and the drive was GORGEOUS.
I even pulled over and took a couple of photos for you.

Springvale District Court
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
I'm excited.
I haven't eaten since around 10am. I love a good pub.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
I might have a honey problem.
This is a local #MaineRaising opportunity, they prefer not to ship.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
I'm pathologically early, so let me treat you to a few photos then I'm going to find a bite to eat.

Update from Houlton, I just encountered liberated chickens.

OMG - I forgot to show my own #MaineRaising!!!
Tell me how awesome my french toast is going to be tomorrow.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
...and jams and jellies and festive salsas and fresh donuts and ciders galore (including the grown up sort!).
Here is the best part - they take phone orders!
Wouldn't this make an amazing #MaineRaising? @RickerHill will ship you fresh Maine apples.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
But wait, there's more...
Goats and corn maze and tractors to crawl on and bounce houses, oh my!
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
The views were amazing!

Hey #mepolitics - Ready for another round of #SeeMaineWithTiffany?
Who wants to guess where I was today?
Some days are long days.
Almost every day requires juggling and reprioritizing, plus a little extra preparedness and relationship management for times beyond control...just like what you'd want in Congress.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Back to Mt. Vernon, spent a lovely hour doing Q&A in a delightful waterfront venue.
Always such a pleasure to discuss #mepolitics with an engaged group.
Back home to tuck 5 and 7 into bed, and now 19 hours in doing triage for tomorrow.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Quick bite at Weathervane in Readfield.
It's really hard to find a bad view or a bad meal in #maine.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
At this point I'm more than 13 hours deep into my day.
Are you exhausted yet?
Let's pop over Readfield!
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Head to Mt. Vernon with another caffeine pit stop.
Arrive so very early that I get to grab dinner hooray! Except Mt. Vernon is such a small hamlet that there are no dinner venues. (Seriously though, do not underestimate how gorgeous the waterfront is here)
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Pause to notice that some more weather appears to have escaped a @StephenKing book, including some unusually menacing but camera shy seagulls.
Hustle into car just before 4.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
This mediation will not settle because there is missing information.
Get as agreed as possible.
Status Conference with Magistrate.
Breathe.
Walk to car.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
I call in to the mediation and participate by phone until I walk through the door in Portland.
I'm a planner so I have a garage pass and employee access, saving me easily 20 minutes.
Sit down.
Email order to Newport.
Mediate.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Lots of Maine has poor mobile service. We absolutely should fix that!
I text my departure to Portland case, which I took the step yesterday to warn about the possibility of being late.
I hope and succeed at getting past the dead zone by 1.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Sadly, no photos of Newport.
It's a truly adorable town. You should visit!
I ate warm hard-boiled eggs from Starbucks in the car instead of the highly preferable Chinese food available in Newport. I recommend the opposite.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Get full agreement on Newport case ๐
...except the printer is broken, and it's 1222.
I needed to leave at latest at 1120.
And my computer won't send email at Newport because their wifi is temperamental.
Apologize profusely to Magistrate, run to car.
#SeeMaineWithTiffany
Pull into parking lot at 8, call West Bath clerk, coordinate with client to make sure case is handled.
Dash into court 20 mins early to get set up/prepared.
Mediate case.
Pause at 1030, call in to other court to get a final divorce hearing on record.
