I first met Lisa in person after talking with her much in garden chat on aol. She was so very encouraging as I tried to plan my gardens at my new bed and breakfast. After we met in person, we two packed up our walker/rollators and went out to play in REAL life…offline, that is. We often took off on spontaneous day road trips and meandered the back roads of Maine in search of gardens or wildflowers that we could enjoy……our “old lady adventures,” we called them. The adventure usually included lunch, whether we packed it ourselves for a picnic, or stopped in one of the many “Mom and Pop” restaurants of small towns we explored in Maine. We shared a love of our adopted state and the joy of exploration of its many beauties. We created some dollhouse things together, planted and Weeded in our gardens. Lisa visited me at the Bed and breakfast often, and we talked about flowers, art…..oh, so many things. She was an interested and interesting soul. We talked and laughed as we prepared foods for the catered events. There was always laughter in the kitchen when she popped in. She made it a sunny place. She didn’t share her illness with many and quietly faced her situation so she wouldn’t “worry” others. It was so like her to be thoughtful of others. I am grateful for the blessing of her friendship. I will so miss her, our Pu Pu Platter! I’ll miss her humor, her kindness, her wonderful appreciation of beauty, and her quiet and gentle way. I hope that good memories will soften the pain of grief of her family and friends. Rest in peace, friend. Lorette

Mrs. Parker was my next door neighbor growing up. She put up with us so well, letting us have sleepovers at her house with her grandkids almost every weekend in the summer. This meant we wanted to use her expensive make-up every weekend to do makeovers, too. She never minded! What a great lady. My condolences. She is missed!

Story shared: Mini garden meet with Lisa at Loretta's B&B

Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:59:00 EDT

This is my story of my meet up with Lisa aka Pupupltr as this was her garden chat name (those of us who knew her really well call her Pu. I set out to meet up with my garden chat buds at Loretta's bed and breakfast, Rise and Shine Inn up in Monmouth Maine. My vehicle was equipped with a nav system but once I got near the lakes region it no longer would access normal roads. I ended up taking the wrong exit off the Maine Turnpike and set off going the opposite direction for about 20 miles. Finally realizing by signs that I was lost I stopped to ask an oil delivery man if he knew where Rise and Shine Inn was located. He gave me directions, they were as follows. Take the steep hill to the top and turn at the stone house, that road will take you down to Moose Run Road. Well I found the steep hill but all the houses were stone or brick. The little town that I was in was called Pergatory. I surely felt like I had travelled myself into the correct town. After an hour of going this way and that way I started laughing so hard my eyes were tearing and I had to pull over and wipe my face. I just couldnt believe I was living the Maine saying "You can't get theyah from heeyah". I finally was able to get a cell phone signal and called the Inn, everyone was so worried about me as I was over an hour late. And I had left my house in Falmouth Maine 45 minutes early. We had a wonderful lunch and explored the barns of the Inn, fantastic barns. Lisa climbed the extremely pitched stairs to join me. This was very difficult for her, but she was determined. We both hugged and hugged when she came up to the landing 3rd floor. We were so proud of her to get up there. We held hands and walked through the amazing barn and looked out over the fields to the lake in awe. We made the climb down and returned to the Inn to enjoy a nice glass of wine and laugh and chat for hours.

Lisa was a very special lady to me. We would often chat in the early morning hours before others got there and she was so full of life and funny. I will really miss our chats. My prayers are with her family and loved ones.
