Mavis’ Favorite Things Giveaway – Day 5

By Mavis Butterfield on -

As a way of giving back and thanking you for showing up here on this crazy little blog of mine, whether it’s everyday or every week or just when you need to pop by for a recipe, I thought it would be fun to give away 6 unique gifts this holiday season that have brought us a bit of happiness over the past year.

Some of the giveaways will be locally made products we’ve discovered since moving to New England, some will be handmade, and few will be something I discovered long ago but still find myself using year after year. These 6 giveaways are my way of saying thank you. I love getting up everyday to write this blog! So thank you for being a part of this blog, and for being here to keep the conversation going. 

This giveaway is now closed.

  1. Kristen says

    I belong in the one I am in!

    But seriously, anything pre-cell phone is good too.

    What a fabulous giveaway, MB!

  2. Amanda H says

    Great giveaway! Lobster and pie for the win!!

    I feel like I belong in the 90’s… I guess I never fully got over some of my teen angst. Plus, who doesn’t love a good flannel.

    • Wendy says

      I belong here and now because I love growing and learning from my my past years. (But my husband says I belong in the 1800’s because of the things I like to do!)

  4. Robin R. says

    Not sure it’s where I belong but I would say I was happiest in the 80s & 90s when my kids were growing up. It’s when I met my life long friends through soccer. It’s when my husband was well. Life was busy and fun. The present time, while challenging, is more settled – retired, two beautiful grandkids with both kids married and employed, almost four years into widowhood & counting blessings instead of troubles.

  6. Sara says

    Violet! You’re turning violet, Violet!

    I think I belong in the 80’s, riding my banana seat schwinn.

    Be kind, rewind.

  8. Sue P says

    The 90s were good! Our daughter was in school, we were younger. Life was more busy, but seemed less complicated.

  15. Amy S says

    If you looked at me this year you would think I was from one of those decades when the husband was the sole breadwinner and the wife stayed home because she was busy in the kitchen cooking everything from scratch. I like the slower pace of that life, but I do feel like I am tied to the kitchen. So what would that be? The 60s or earlier?

  16. Leah Linton says

    I think the 2000s when we had both of our children and everything was fun, crazy and just full of memories and chaos!

  17. Beth B says

    The 1980’s. Loved that it was pre-internet, pre-cell phone, kids got outside and played together. Life was simpler and the music was awesome.

  18. Nicole wenzel says

    Lobster rolls are amazing. We get our fill everything we visit my uncle who lives in Maine.

    I would have to say the 1970s just for the classic rock music.

  23. Jennifer says

    I think I belong in the 40’s and 50’s. But, only if I could be as opinionated as I am now. I’d like to think of myself like the mom in My Dog Skip; she was sassy and ruled the roost! Great movie if you haven’t seen it.

  24. Paula says

    OH MY! Great Giveaway!!! I think I belong in the 1940’s. I was raised by older parents in a very small village. I was related to half of my neighbors. Everything we ate was homemade. We never went out to eat. We raised a garden and had lots of family get togethers. All four of my grandparents were naturalized immigrants. My materal grandparents were Italian. My paternal grandparents were from Hungarian. Funny thing-my mom was 4’10” and my dad 6’3″.

  25. Simone OFlaherty says

    90s. Grunge, hip hop, all of it. So fun probably because my teenage years were in the 90s.

  26. Coleen says

    Good morning Mavis!
    I want to say the 50’s but I think all the decades have something in them that I would love. So all of them would be my answer.

  27. Jeanine says

    This is a hard one for me to answer. Every decade had its favorite moments for me. But I guess I would like to go back to the year 2000. I had more family members living closer and both my HH and I were more active. We love the outdoors and had more strength to hike in the high sierras in California. Many fond memories backpacking and taking in the scenic views and waterfalls that Mother Nature has provided us all.

  28. Leah says

    Hmmm, perhaps back to the 1770s when people stood for freedom and against tyrannical government. Yes, I am so tired of this year. Lobster rolls (which I have never tried) and pie would be a fun distraction!

  29. Lori H says

    What a fun giveaway – doesn’t get any better than lobster & pie. I’m an 80’s girl all the way – love the music and big hair.

  30. Amber says

    Although life is complicated, I wouldn’t trade my life in the current decade. I enjoy today’s technical advances as well as rustic camping and making homemade bread and growing a garden.

  31. Vanessa Strawder says

    I try to live in the present- so I have to say whatever decade I’m living in at the time.

  32. Carrie Clancy says

    I absolutely love lobster rolls – a summer is not complete until I have visited Maine to eat one (or three!)

  33. Julie T says

    I belong right where I am and wouldn’t go back for anything. Bearing down on retirement is so much more appealing than going back to college, raising small kids, dealing with teenagers, and paying for weddings. Watching the grandkids grow up (and be someone else’s responsibility) and doing my thing is wonderful.

  34. JoAnn Moran says

    I was born in 1961, but I always feel like I belong in the 1940s. I like the music, fashion, morality, and work ethic. I also love lobster!

  35. Carol says

    I totally feel like I belong in the 80s! Or earlier!! . Feel that life was so much simpler and innocent in those times. Those were the days when kids went outside, rode bikes, made mud pies and returned home from playing with their friends when the street lights came on, you received handwritten letters, actually could smell the pies and cookies baking from your grandmothers house, no internet, no cell phones! , spending time with your family and enjoying what you had …looking forward to and listening for the sounds of nature..like the peep frogs and fire flys on an early summer night. Life was comfortable and the little things in life were cherished.

  36. joanne s says

    well, i’m hoping the 2030’s will be the best yet! i think the 1920’s-1960’s would have some cool things, but women’s rights were so bad i wouldn’t really want to live through them (some of them again).

  37. Peggy Lineberry says

    I belong in the 1950s. Family meals around the table talking to each other and not texting on their phone.

  38. eileen says

    1880’s, I am always reading books on pioneer women and the western expansion. Love self sufficiency.

  39. bonnie baine says

    I feel I am where God would have me be, doing the things he wants me doing at this time in my life. Great give-away! We were at the lobster festival in Rockland several years ago and fell in love with lobster rolls. sooo good.

  40. Jerry says

    Lobster rolls and blueberry pie does sound like a good treat! I don’t know if there is a better decade to belong to.. I was born in the 80’s. It would be cool to go back and see it with new eyes.

  42. kathie Paje says

    The 60’s for sure I loved staying home raising my children,family being the most important thing in my life. Where you fought over television programs and how long kids were on the phone. Where you actually knew your neighbours and where your kids where. I loved the 60’s

  45. Melissa Antone says

    I’ll take the 2030s for $500, Mavis.
    I look forward to the continued progress toward equality, but I will keep my cheesy 70s music. 🙂

  48. Kristi says

    1940’s for sure, my favorite decade! If I had to go back in time I would go to the 1940s. I love the clothes, furniture, houses, decorations just about everything!

  50. Julie A Hess says

    Hi Mavis,
    I would have to say the 80’s. My husband and I dated, married and had our only child in the 80’s. That was a good question.

  52. Keli says

    I’d have to say 90s, I was a teenager. More excitement. Less stress. Less technology but still plenty of it. A good balance I’d say. Heres to beepers!

  53. Jennifer says

    What a great question! There are amazing parts to any time in history. I am happy with the decade I’m in, but I also love the stories of the pioneer days and their amazing adventures. So, 1880s? But you know, I love my wifi and air conditioning, so I’d best Just stay in my current decade. 🙂

  54. Joan says

    The 90s were good to me. My kids played outside, read books, rode their bikes and more instead of being glued to devices.

  57. MEM says

    Although I like the idea of pre-cell phone and pre-internet decades (especially the 1950s), I have to be practical and say the current decade. I would not want to live in a decade where women had fewer rights and health care was inadequate.

  58. Maria says

    Although I’m a child of the grunge era 90’s and am totally nostalgic about it, I think I belong right where I am now.

  60. Glenda Sessions says

    The 60’s…..a much simpler time, Thank you for such a great opportunity to try out some of your local goodies!! x

  62. Nancy says

    I liked the 60’s and 70’s. Wow, I love lobster rolls and blueberry pies! Thanks for such a fabulous giveaway.

  63. chickengrandma says

    I would love to be in the 1960’s. There was just a little amount of technology for a comfortable life, like phones, cars, antibiotics. And it was a simpler time with mom at home with the kids, cooking from scratch, sewing and mending the family’s clothing. If only we could return to “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best’.

  64. Jennifer says

    Probably the 80s for me. I was 12 in the beginning and 22 at the end – before I really had to adult and things were so much simpler and dare I say it? Kinder.

  68. Cassie Lester says

    I think the 80’s. Before cell phones and internet. Where kids were just kids and got out and played with their friends. Seems like it was just a simpler time to grow up in.

    Blueberry Pie is my favorite, yummy!

  71. Debbie M says

    Got my dulicmer Christmas CD yesterday – it would be perfect with lobster rolls and blueberry pie 🙂

    • Michelle Stahnke says

      Yum, yum, yum! I belong in the 1970s. I sure had fun running around playing “Charlie’s Angels” and “Planet of the Apes” at the L.A. County Arboretum with my friends!

  74. Jeanie H says

    I love the 60’s but I sure would miss technology! Lobster and pie! Sounds like a winning combination. One of the Maine (see what I did there!) reasons I have always wanted to visit Maine is for the lobster and blueberries. The book Blueberries for Sal was formative literature for me as a little girl.

  77. Tamara says

    I know I’m where I’m supposed to be but I love 18th century history so second favorite decade would be 1780s.

  80. Amy Bearden says

    I lived in the 80’s as a young child…but i would love to have been able to do it as a young adult!

  81. Barb says

    I think I would have done great in the 1950s, but I grew up in the ’70s, and that was a pretty great decade for growing up. I’ve never had a lobster roll, and I love blueberry pie–what a great giveaway.

  84. Trish Pitts says

    I belong and relate best with the 1980’s. It was the time of my teenage years, so that’s probably why it stands out so much. I can remember where I was when Reagan was shot, when Baby Jessica was found, and when the Space Shuttle Exploded. The movies are still my favorites to this day. And the music…. OMG…. it was (and still is) the best.

  85. Sandra Wallace says

    Oh wow, this one is tough! I feel like I belong back in the 80s-best music EVER!, but there are times that I feel I’m from the 40s. Can’t wait to try Maine blueberry pie-I’ve only had NJ’s growing up! Thanks for the great giveaway idea Mavis!

  89. Kirsten says

    Definitely the 70’s! If I could have a kitchen with avocado colored appliances, that would be stupendous. We had harvest gold when I was a little girl, but the avocado has always called to me!

  92. Jennifer says

    I try to acclimate to whatever decade I’m in. Really happy in this one especially now we have grands. LOVE lobster from Maine.

  93. Kari says

    I’d have to say 50’s/60’s, the Leave it to Beaver times. Although that was before my time, life just looks so much simpler then. Kids played outside all day (and it was safe to do so), Mom baked cookies, Dad came home at 5:00 for supper. What more could you ask for?

  96. Tracy says

    Gosh, that’s hard…the 70’s when I was a kid or the 90’s when my babies were little. I think the 70’s. Thank you for the giveaways!

  99. Krissy Miller says

    I belong in the 2000’s because That was when I was in my twenties and it was the best time. I mostly miss pre social media days. Thank god that didn’t exist back when I was regularly frequenting the bars

  100. Christa says

    The 1940s have always been fascinating to me… I am an old soul. I like to think I would have joined the WAC or at least worked in a factory.

  106. Michelle says

    I don’t know where I belong, but I’d go back to the early 2000s when my sons were little. I miss those guys.

  108. Michelle T says

    Cool prizes . Love pie and lobster. I belong to the y2k . When I came here to the USA and got married and kids.

  109. MB says

    80s for sure! I love my high school besties and who doesn’t miss teasing your bangs and lining the inside of your lower eyelid with blue liner?! And the movies… Top Gun and John Hughes films for ever!

  110. Sue says

    The 60s, such a simpler time.
    Mavis, your crazy little blog is a delight to read everyday.
    This give away sounds delicious and someone is getting a treat.

    • Granny B says

      I would love to go to the 50’s although I was born in the 60’s!! It just seems like it was more family friendly. I love lobster but have never had a lobster roll. They look so yummy!!

  116. Jo Griffith says

    While I loved my time in the ’80s and really wish this current Covid problem was over, I love the current decade. Age gives you grace and thoughtfulness about what is really important in life.

  122. Margery says

    I am torn between the late 90’s and early 2000’s. We had computers but they were not a part of daily life, the most the my kids had for computer fun were the simple game boys and limited time on the computer as we had dial up. Cell phones were for adults, and text messaging was expensive. I have raised children from my oldest in 1991 to having a 14 year old in 2020. There lives have been so different, but I fit in better with the early 2000’s.

  125. Samantha B says

    Normally I would say the 50s because I love the clothes but, the politics, racism, and gender stereotypes would have been really difficult. Due to that, I think this is the correct decade for me, even though there are so many sucky things currently happening.

  126. Lyra says

    I think I belong in the 80s – and as much as I love big hair and the crazy music from this last century, I mean the 1880s. France specifically! Sure the health care wasn’t the best and industrialization was making everything and everyone miserably, but dangit, the ART! Put me in Paris, and put me down for these amazing prizes, please. 😀

  129. Lana says

    I would love to go back to the 60’s for awhile. I want to be a child at Christmas and visit my grandparents again.

  130. Kathy G says

    I’d like to be in the 80’s again-before social media, cell phones, when the kids were young. Life was busy and sometimes complicated but nothing like now.

  132. Jeannine says

    I am liking where I am right now. I have so many blessings today; good job, fabulous husband, a child who is a productive member of society. Except for this little COVID incident, life is pretty good.

  133. Pam says

    I belong just where I am, even at this terrible time…..I miss the vigor and health of being younger but nothing beats getting to know and love my 4 grandkids as they grow up, half are teenagers now!

  139. Hannah F says

    I think I belong in the late 1800s. I feel old these days! 🙂

    This is a neat idea for a giveaway!

  140. Lisa H. says

    Yummy Giveaway! I always thought I would fit in well in the early 1900s, at a point when electricity and running water with indoor plumbing were available but corsets weren’t a requirement. Life seemed simpler then.

  142. Cathy Carroll says

    I’m thinking the 1980’s. Life was full with my children, pets and I had lots of energy.
    Thanks for sending me down memory lane!

  143. Vanessa C says

    I’m drooling! My music says I belong in the 1980’s (Depeche Mode & Cure PRIME TIME!) but my mannerism is more pre-Draft 1960’s. I’m strong and outspoken but servient, as I don’t like to be in charge. I believe there’s always a way to get things done yourself, however, there are sexist roles in my household and I’m perfectly ok with NOT mowing or fixing toilets! 🙂

  144. Teckla says

    Like others have said, I feel I am where I should be; where God put me, but I think the 60’s were a lot less stressful. People were a lot nicer, more caring, and life was ever so much simpler! ‘Course I was only a teenager back then, so my perspective might be a bit skewed. LOL

  145. Colleen says

    The 2000s… those were good years!

    (I accidentally put an entry/comment as a reply to someone else’s comment and don’t see a way to delete it. I hope that doesn’t count as a double entry)

  147. Shana says

    I belong in the 1900’s….turn of the century. I love making soap, sewing clothes for my children, knitting, gardening, preserving food, cooking over fires. And my kids love eating by candlelight!! (Though I will be the first to admit that I would miss many conveniences we enjoy today!).

  149. Wendy L says

    The 1950’s were a slower time of my childhood.. Thanks for the memories and the delightful giveaways.

  150. Lori N says

    Hmm, while I’m not enamored of the big shoulder pads and big hair (so.much.hairspray.) I guess I would choose the 80’s…just because it was when my husband and I were young and the whole future seemed possible to us. So many good memories. OR I would choose the 2000’s because it is when our grandchildren came along.

  151. Brianna says

    I feel like 2000-2010 decade I most belong in. I was just emerging into adulthood and finding myself. I changed so much during that decade and I would love to relive some of the moments,

  153. JB says

    Hi Miss Mavis,
    I am not interested in entering today’s giveaway, but your question struck a chord with me. Without hesitation, I can say I was born to belong in the 1940’s (even though I’m not yet 30 years old)! I grew up with my grandparents close by & their generation remains my favorite peer group. ☺

  154. Nancy says

    I love lobster rolls and blueberry pie!

    Right now, because I have twin grandsons who are 18 months old and I wouldn’t want to miss any part of being with them and watching them grow.

  155. Kathy H says

    Lobster….yum!!!

    I think the 2000’s. I was old enough to know better but still young enough to have crazy fun.

  156. Kathy says

    The 1970’s. Good music, great family gatherings and my father, who was the best friend a girl could have, was still alive. We lost him in 1976 but it was still a great decade to be alive.

  157. Juliet H says

    I belong in this decade. While the 80s may have seemed simpler (when I was growing up), I like today’s advances.

  159. Heather says

    I miss the 80s, but that might have been because I was a care free child. I really think I belong in the 20s.

  162. Lesley says

    I belong in this decade. I’m retired and enjoying being home and reading and gardening. I also adore being a grandmother in this decade.❤️
    The runner up would be the 70’s… or what I remember of it.

  163. Tanya says

    I probably belong in the ‘90s when I thought life was hard but didn’t know what was to come.

    I haven’t had a lobster roll in decades and this post made my mouth water! And wild Maine blueberries! Yum!

  166. Carrie C says

    I always think I belonged in the 90s. Baggy clothes, angsty music, rock band t-shirts, no social media, emo through and through. My favorite books are from that time. I was in my teens so maybe everyone feels nostalgia for the time they were just becoming who they wanted to be or hoped to be. Now I’m about to turn 40 and I still wear chucks and Doors t-shirts 🙂

  167. Eduvina says

    Thanks soooo much Mavis. Give me my 80’s back. I like where I’m at now. But I had a blast in the 80’s.

  171. Kim C says

    Fun question and great giveaway! I would have to say the current decade. I appreciate what I have and who I am, even with all the craziness in the world. I don’t wish for any other time.

  173. Bea says

    The 70’s were some of the most fun times. College, 1st job, traveled, met lots of good friends who are still friends today. I am enjoying this time of being retired, and still having fun.

  175. Elle says

    Oh how I would lobster rolls right now! I haven’t been to the east coast in 3 years now 🙁

    I decided long ago I’m a 60s girl. Life was simple, tie dye was the rage and women were fighting for our rights to equality 🙂 (not that this fight is won yet).

    Happy Thursday!

  176. heatherruark says

    Sometimes I feel like I should have been born 100 years from now. I keep enjoying to see so many new people develop new things and new ideas I wish I could see them all until the end of time.

  177. Annette says

    The 60’s because I had so much fun with my siblings, and wish I could relive those days.
    Looking forward to my first lobster roll.

  179. Paula says

    The early ’60s. I wasn’t yet born, but from what I’ve seen in footage and read in books, I think I would have fit right in.

    Maine lobster rolls = yum, yum, yum!

  180. Barbara says

    I think I belong in the 1960s. I remember that time as much simpler. Less “things” constantly accessible to buy, so you were content to do with what you had or be creative and make things.

  182. Holly V says

    I think I would have enjoyed the 50s even though I am a 70s baby. Times sure seemed a bit simpler then.

  183. Donna Jantzer says

    As a girl, I always wanted to live in the American pioneer days, like Laura Ingalls I guess that’s the 1870s. It wasn’t long before I realized I would have died in my teens because of medical issues that couldn’t have been addressed on the prairie, but I still have those romantic thoughts of living off the land.

  184. Michelle says

    I was born in 1970 but I’ve always thought I belonged in the very early 1900s ☺️
    Michelle from California

  185. Annamarie Voss says

    I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and while I think the 80’s was the best decade to grow up in I’m going to pick the 70’s because life was much more simple back then.

  187. Amanda Peterson says

    If I could be in my adult prime in the 80’s with big hair and station wagons it would be fun.

  189. Diana says

    This current decade by far. I’ve always been a tree hugging, gardening, feminist, social injustice fighter type person and now is the time and I have the means to do something to make this world a better place for all of our children.

  190. Bonnie Schmidt says

    I was born in the 60’s, but I love everything about the 50’s when all of the mom’s were still home trading recipes and taking pride in their homes.

  193. Lynn from NC Outer Banks says

    That’s hard…I guess the 80s when my children were young and life was really good.

    And oh, this is such a great giveaway!

  194. Ginger B says

    I belong in this decade. I like living in a world with good WiFi.

    * I have never had a lobster roll.

  195. Liz Logan says

    I belong in this decade, because it took the horror of Trump and the GOP to awaken me politically.

  196. Lynn from NC Outer Banks says

    That’s hard…I guess the 80s when my children were young and life was really good.

    And oh, this is such a great giveaway! Thanks.

  199. Lisa smith says

    I’m an 80’s girl. There are so many great reasons but mainly all the people I loved the most were alive. I’ve simply gotten old . Good but still old.

  201. Lauralli says

    I’m going to have to go with the 80’s. I would say the 40’s or 50’s but central A/C wasn’t standard then. 🙂 I live in the south where it is HOT about 8 months out of the year.

  208. Randi says

    The 80’s. loved my legwarmers and blue mascara. Love the music too, Prince, Ah Ha, Madonna, Go Go’s…

  214. Chris M says

    Such an interesting question! I loved the 60’s, although I wouldn’t want to repeat it. I’m also fascinated by the 1940’s.

  216. Holly Sieger says

    I belong in the 80’s. I was a kid then and things were so much simpler. I tell my kids all the time if I could take them back and raise them in the 80’s I would! No cell phones, no social media, no internet, no 9/11, no school shooting drills; lots of playing outdoors, bike riding and knowing all your neighbors ❤️

  217. Lynne Moran says

    I surely belonl and want to return to the 80’s. I have never had a lobster roll…and blueberry is my favorite pie!

  218. Kim says

    1980’s for me. I’m totally entering this one for my 13 year old son. He loves trying new foods and would be THRILLED to try a lobster roll (we’re in Iowa – not a lot of lobster here)

  222. Kayla says

    90’s with huge computers, phones connected to the wall, beepers, super Nintendo’s, plaid clothes, dancing the Macarena, no Facebook, freaking out that Y2K was going to end the world, and all the clean TV shows. Good times.

  224. Pam T says

    I would happily go back to any decade and relive them (with more appreciation). But life keeps getting better so I am enjoying my now. The 2020s will be fantastic!

  226. Linda Sand says

    The 1960s when I was a teenager and life was beautiful all the time. The music from that time can still get me dancing.

    I had my first lobster roll just a few years ago when we were traveling through Maine in a motorhome. A very good memory!

  227. Sydelle says

    I belong in the 1940’s. My Victory Garden is my focus each year. I love figuring out how I can become more self-reliant, and improving on my gardening skills to provide for my family.

  231. Julie Ash says

    That’s a tough question! My frugality makes me think I belong back in The Great Depression 🙂

  232. KATHY S HORT says

    I think the 90’s. My kids were young and I had lots of energy and motiviation. Now, I am a slug from the PNW. 🙂

  235. Joyce says

    Definitely the 1970’s. still dress hippy/bohemian, love nature and everything in it.
    I too have never had a lobster roll

  236. Kelli says

    I totally love the 80’s and if I had to switch, that’s where I’d be but I really love where I’m at right now! This decade is great!

  241. Carrie says

    I think maybe the early 80’s? Recent enough for most modern amenities but before life became digital and work required being glued to a computer screen all day!

  243. Nancy says

    I loved growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, but every decade has had good and difficult times; including this decade.

  250. NeeNee says

    I belong in the 80’s Good music simple life
    Nice giveaway!!! I never could understand how anyone could not like lobster!!!
    I could live on it and Blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream!!!!

  254. Elaine says

    The 80s when my 2 children were growing up. The time from their births to college graduations flew by way too quickly. That lobster and blueberry pie look delicious!

  256. carol clark says

    the 70 and 90’s i just love that era and sometimes the 50 and 20’s when things changed from old to the begening of eras of change

  257. Jason Best says

    My wife and I both agree that we belong back in the 1950s. However, as actual Children of the 80s, that decade comes in a close second for us.

    (Also, we don’t ‘do’ good lobster rolls down South where we live nor do we see fresh Main blueberries in the market, so it would be delightfully delicious for us to win this particular giveaway.)

  258. Jenny Smith says

    Maybe the 1880’s… I like the homesteading vibe. When things were tough, but if you worked hard you felt accomplished and rewarded.

  260. Kelly says

    I believe God put me here for a readon, not sure what it is but… that being said I dream and wonder if I could have survived the 1860s on a homestead somewhere in the west. Enjoying your blog

  261. Claudia S says

    I think I’m right where I belong. This year hasn’t been the best but I’m still content with my life.
    Lobster rolls and blueberry pie ??? They don’t have those in the Midwest yet they are my all time favorites.

  264. Linda says

    Definitely the 70s. Life was simpler and family was the backbone of everything in my life. I graduated high school, off to college and my first taste of independence, first teaching job, and married. All in the 70s! And the music…the absolute best!

  268. D. Logan says

    If I must pick a time from /this/ century, I suppose I fall into the 60s. Not that I fit the culture of the time, but more that I just love the back-to-the-earth thing that was going so strong back then.

  270. Lynn says

    60’s! I will forever love BIG hair!! Have never tried lobster rolls! Not too many of them here in Oklahoma! . But I do love lobster! And blueberry pie!?!? What’s not to love about that!?!? You are such an innovative and kind person, Mavis! God bless you – continued health and well being!

  273. Amy S says

    What an interesting question! My instant reaction is that I belong in the 80s, which is when I was a teen. The music and fashion made sense to me;) I’d love to have an 80s do-over with some of my current common sense and self-esteem.

  275. Michelle says

    I’m trying hard to live in the present, so I would say the current decade…even though we’re not off to a great start!

  278. Marie Beers says

    I’m old, so it’s the 50’s and 60’s for me. Such simple times. I was born in RI so I absolutely love lobster rolls. I love the rolls grilled (like you do the bread for grill cheese) and a fat deli hot dog——heaven. Also blueberry pie is one of my favorites. I’d so love to win this, I’ll even go off my Keto diet for this.

  279. Delma J Atwell says

    Well – my kiddos think I belong in the 1940’s cuz I garden, can, make jam, cook, bake, hand embroider and quilt – but judging how all those things are in vogue right now I would say I belong in our current decade!

  283. Rosaleen says

    Too funny! I thought that I’d be in the minority by saying that I bring in the 1980s. My kids were young. I was in my 30s. Both of my parents were in good health, as wetter my siblings. Yeah, the ’80s…

  285. Charlotte says

    My high school years were 1964-1967. The best!! I’d go back in a heartbeat! Slumber parties, dances & the best music ever!
    The lobster rolls and blueberry pie look scrumptious! I’ve never had a lobster roll.
    Thanks for all the giveaways!!!

  286. D. Ellis says

    I miss the 80’s. Great music, great family tv shows….I felt safe playing all over our town as a child, and so much more!

  287. Veronica says

    I’ve always loved the concept of living as nobility in the 1600s in England, but I really like the rights that all women in the USA have now and the medical advances of our time.

  288. Michelle O. says

    I feel like I belong in a simpler time like 1930’s Labrador – canning, quilting, sewing, woodstoves and homemade bread. There was lots of hard work but everyone helped each other and when it was time for a break – the best kitchen parties were had!!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  290. Linda Harper says

    I’d say I belong to the 1980s (maybe the 1880s!). My boys were upper grade school and junior high and we were really into gardening and canning a lot of food. I had friends doing the same thing. I like the fact that we weren’t as in demand or attached 24/7 and really enjoyed my growing family. Now, we are empty nesters, newly retired with grandchildren and really enjoy our time together, so I can’t complain.

  291. Mary Beth says

    I love this decade. My life as a single woman working as a scientist is so much easier than it would’ve been at any previous point in our history. Plus, with technology I can make friends all over the world and they can ship me delicious food!

  294. Mimi says

    1930’s or 40’s are appealing, before TV, when life was a little quieter. Although I would have a hard time taking my independent self back to a time when women had fewer choices.

  295. Emily says

    The 2000’s! All four of my babies were born in that decade and I have loved every minute of them, even if I barely survive their crazy teenage years.

  297. jacqui says

    The 70’s. More simple, but still modern. College was affordable and it was much easier to live on one income so less pressure on families!

  299. Kristin says

    I love of love old fashioned things, but really, I love having the choice instead of being forced to do things like can, make bread, etc. And I love my phone, but really, I think life was better without them. So I guess I’ll go with the decade of my birth, the 80’s. 🙂

  302. Rebecca says

    Although I really liked the 2000’s, since I got married and had my babies then, I feel like I’m pretty settled where I am right now. BUT, I could do with a little less of 2020!! Thanks for the giveaways, Mavis!

  303. Tanya Jenkins says

    The 90’s! This was when I became an adult and went out on my own and had my freedom before marriage, children, major bills or responsibilities. The music scene in Seattle was hot and my figure was waaaay before the ravages of menopause, ha!

  304. Gina says

    I definitely belong to the 70’s. I love the music, the clothes, the positive energy everyone was trying to spread. LOL.

    Bring on some Carole King, kids in the neighborhood hanging out with each other in the fresh air, and tv shows like the Brady Bunch.

  307. Lori says

    I’m not sure where I would belong. I was most happiest in the 70’s. Would have family vacations in the summer, usually camping. Never made it to Maine then or had lobster rolls, but made it to many ice cream stands. Never a worry on my mind. Oh If only I could go back.

  310. tia in boise says

    I feel an affinity to the 8o’s (my teenage years), but cringe when people point out how long ago that was…

  311. Susannah says

    Probably the 1940s. I’ve always been an old soul and I feel like I should have been born in another era (although I wouldn’t have dealt well with lack of women’s rights). I identify a lot with the literature from the era and the fashions…plus women were doing more because of the war. So yes!

  312. Joan S. says

    Somewhere before the 1920’s….late 1800’s . Just feel like I belong there.
    Have never had a lobster roll.

  314. Lissa in Boise says

    My heart is in the 80s since that’s when I was in high school and is still pretty much the soundtrack of my life. My make-up routine is from the 90s since that’s when I finally had enough money to take care of myself. My heart is in the 2000s since that is when I met my husband and had my daughter. The 2010s are a bit of a blur (see prior sentence about said daughter) but I was in shape so I wish I looked like the 2010s. I belong in the 2020s because I am HAPPY TO BE ALIVE. I truly enjoy your blog. I’m so happy you are where you belong Mavis. I think I’ve been reading your daily foibles for about 10 years. My how time flies.

  319. Mary E Catalusci says

    This is so difficult…I would say the seventies. I was a little kid then would have thrived as an adult. Two of my favorite foods are lobster and blueberry pie

  322. Erika says

    I would like to scroll back to 10 years ago…. the technology is moving too fast for me! I’m 45, but I’m a pretty low-tech person. Love my garden, a good fire in the Woodstove, cooking, and some books.

    I LOVE lobster! We went to Maine once on our way up to P.E.I, and I’ll never forget my first taste of fresh lobster.

  324. Deborah Weekley says

    I look forward to 2024….the world will have worked out the kinks and everybody will love each other.

  327. DC says

    This one….is that an acceptable answer?! But I wouldn’t mind being a fly on the wall in the medieval times

  328. Amanda says

    The fabulous 40’s! I love the music, movies, hairstyles… everything about the 40’s I am in love with and I’ve been that way since I was in my 20’s, being 40 something I don’t think I’ll outgrow my love of that decade, sigh.

  331. Patty P says

    I always say that I’m in the wrong time period. I love learning about the time of the Westward Expansion and could see myself as one of those brave women who headed out west on the wagon train not knowing what was coming next but knowing that I could handle it. I’d say the 1860’s would be the time for me.

  332. Dawn Harris says

    My husband’s birthday is coming up and he loves lobster. That would be such a treat! Thanks for another great giveaway! I think the advantage of living in this current time is that we have the benefit of learning from the past while being extremely fortunate for the opportunities available today. For me, this means that I can choose to live with minimal machines in my home, heat with wood harvested from our own land, hang out my clothes to dry, grow and raise much of my own food, educate our children ourselves, work alongside one another and our neighbors on a daily basis, use barter and trade as a significant portion of our home economy, worship as we see fit, enjoy a high level of autonomy in our day to day activities but also have access to information quickly when needed, medical care we need, and communication with loved ones far and near. I have often said I was born in the wrong decade if not the wrong century but medical care is one thing of the modern world I am most grateful for. I would love to visit the pre-industrial revolution world for at least one day to see and smell and listen to how the Earth was different. I would love to visit a time before the tractor and automobile replaced the draft horse and observe how life moved at a human and animal pace and everyone needed each other to get the needed things done. I get the irony of musing these things on the internet but our modern life is full of contradictions. It is hard to be a purist. But, I try to take the good of now with the wisdom of the past and ignore the rest. Whatever decade that is, I am not sure. Thanks for letting me mull this over. Shows there is no such thing as a simple question! 🙂

  335. JOAN RICHARD says

    Oh boy this is a hard one! I think I really liked the 70’s best. It always felt like the decade that was on the verge of so many things. I love the music and I loved the clothes.

  341. Sheila says

    If I were to have a do-over, I would have to split a decade…mid 70s to the mid 80s, but otherwise I think I would like the 40s. I like that era’s movies, fashion, cars, etc.

  344. Mary Wong says

    It’s toss-up between the 80’s and 90’s. Might need to go with the 90’s. Those were fun high school and college years.

  345. Pam says

    Maybe the 40’s if it was the right town. Like a quiet suburb outside a medium sized city. Modern amenities with a slower pace! That giveaway is complete happiness-thanks for the fun

  346. Joan Flanigan-Clarke says

    Lobster, lobster one of my favorite meals. Hard to find down in Delaware. Please !!!!!

  348. Sandy Boland says

    The 70’s! I still play the great music all the time and it brings me right back. I wish our kids knew how cool we were in the 70’s! We love lobster!

  353. Laura Fouquier says

    I love reading about the 40’s and I’d love to see what it was like. But I also like right now.

  355. Mary Pearce says

    I feel that I most belong to the 1970s, when I was being most challenged to think critically about a wide range of things.

  356. Susan says

    Oh, wow…I’d love to win this for my dad. Two of the very things he and I both miss as displaced New Englanders! I ditto everyone saying “anytime pre-cell phones.” Hate ‘em!

  357. Barbara Dougherty says

    I loved the 90′. Early 90’s. My daughter was little and it was such a joyous time! Thanks

  358. Kim says

    The 1970’s for certain. The music was great, tv shows were fun but still innocent, clothes were fun, and life was very simple.

  359. Jennifer says

    I am a 1940’s girl! Funny… I’m only 49! Did you ever see the end pages in the children’s book Blueberries for Sal? I want that kitchen, those blueberries, and that life! I guess I’m an old soul in a younger body…

  360. Jane says

    i came of age in the ’70s, but because of the sexism and racism then (not that it’s gone away, but it’s better), I’d say I would stick with this decade.
    Meanwhile, I live in the Midwest, so lobster rolls would be a very very rare and wonderful treat!

  361. Vicki Fetui says

    I would have to say I think I belong in the 80’s for no particular reason other that I felt more free and experienced more adventures that decade than any other.

  365. Sue says

    OMG lobster rolls and blueberry pie sounds like my fantasy meal!

    I might be alone in this but I’m going to say the 1930s. I’m just drawn to the stories about people who persevered during the hard times of the Depression and the Dust Bowl. And the 20s and 30s also seemed like a transition time between old fashioned self sufficient style living and the era of appliances and technology.

    There is another part of me that thinks I should have been born in the 1880s. But then why do I like spending time online! 🙂

    Thanks for these giveaways, Mavis, they are really fun!

    Sue

  366. Andrea Christiansen says

    80s for me. But I would like my life knowledge to go back with me. Love the music, the clothes, and the hsir from the 80s! LOL

  367. linda jackson says

    These give aways are so fun. I love blueberry anything, and I think my love of them started in the 70’s.

  368. Robert DeMusis says

    I’m still an 80’s guy, here in 2020. And how delish those lobster rolls look. Thanks!

  369. charwelsh says

    70’s – best clothes (hip hugger elephant bell bottoms and tube socks), best music (rock and disco), best cars (Olds 442 and Plymouth Barracuda)

  374. Linda R. says

    Would love to go back to the 70’s. Loved the music, no social media, met my husband. It was a good decade.

  377. Gail Allen says

    Intriguing question. I first thought 1960’s of my youth but I was too insecure then. I choose 1990’s because I was in mid-life, more confident, deep into my career and traveling with my husband. Of course I’ve always thought I was born in the wrong century. I’ve never had a lobster roll and would love to try it. Thanks for your great blog.

  379. Connie says

    I think I belong in the first decade of the 21st century…children raised and mostly settled in professions, husband retired and we travelled around the country building churches. W hat a fantastic opportunity!

  382. Nadia says

    I’m not sure what decade I belong in! I feel like I would have loved to live in the Victorian era, but God had other plans for me, so I guess I’m in the right decade

  384. Mary G says

    I most definitely belong to the 1980s–that’s when I came of age. A lot of the music I really like is from that time.

  388. monica curry says

    i would have belonged on a farm/small town during the 1930’s……if i could have my modern antibiotics and medical skills with me to help my neighbors……i just love the clothes and furniture and all from the era…….

  389. Michelle A. says

    I long for the ’50s! Peaceful, after the turbulent war 40’s, and before the crazy 60’s.

  391. Naomi C. says

    The late 70’s for me were a blast. I was in college/nursing school, had great friends, fun, and enjoyed great rock music.
    Thanks for the chance to win. I love lobster!

  393. Linda J says

    I belong right where I am. Do I miss things from days gone by and bemoan some of the things I see happening today? Yes. But life is best lived when we are present when and where we are.

  394. Suzanne C. says

    I will always feel nostalgic for the 80’s, but I think I’ll be happiest if I embrace the time I’m living in now. Even 2020 has brought blessings!

  396. Andrea L Johnson says

    I’m not sure I belong to any decade much, but many of my values are shaped by the 1960s (trying to make change for the better in the world, getting back to nature, a deep search for meaning), but my (non) fashion sense is a weird hybrid of the 60’s, 80s and 90s. What’s a girl to do?!? More Levis and cowboy boots, I guess.

  398. BethC says

    The 70s. Then I could go back and relive college (in the second half of the decade), which I loved. The decade also included my first trip to Maine.

  402. Sandra Cirello says

    2020 Because I’m Surviving During This Awful PANDEMIC TIME!!!! Peace to my Mom in Heaven I♡U!!!!

  404. Susan says

    I love where I’m planted at any moment. The 70s were great when I was raising my children, the 2000s have been lovely for watching my grands grow, and I’m looking forward to seeing what life paths they choose. If I have to narrow it down, the 2020s look as though they will be exciting.

  407. Anne says

    Yum – Lobster and pie! The 1990’s were great – the kids were young and although it was crazy busy, life was full fun and new discoveries.

  408. Stacey says

    The current decade is the one for me. I love having grandchildren, and I am so thankful for the technology we have available to see them since they live far away.

  413. Denise Burns says

    I have a hard time deciding. I would want to take good things from many decades and keep the good things we have now.

  416. Elizabeth Ball says

    I am going to say the 90’s. It was the last time I was in Maine enjoying both the lobster roll and a blueberry pie.

  417. Deborah R says

    My kids think I’m stuck in the 90’s. I do sort of miss when my phone was stuck on the wall, but grandkids are so great I wouldn’t want to be any other time but now. And blueberry was my answer to favorite pie question ;).

  420. Vivian says

    OMG, what could be better! Lobster and Pie! I think the 90’s were my favorite, when we lived at the beach. Great times!

  422. Kania Janjua says

    Hmmmm…that’s a very thought provoking question… and I’m not really sure. I have always been fascinated with 1800’s things…like the large-skirted dresses (I have always thought they were beautiful and would have loved to wear one but…how does one use the water closet in one of those?…lol), the beautiful REAL wood furniture they had, and riding in a beautiful carriage. Sigh. But then, I sure love me some 1960’s & 1970’s music and SO glad I grew up during that era.

  423. Carolina Cooper says

    Can I pick THREE favorites? I loved the 60’s because that was when I was a teen, went to college, got married, started having children. But then there was the 90’s when we left Philadelphia and moved to Maine. I do love Maine lobster rolls and blueberry pie. But then there was 2018 when my long awaited Prince Charming was born (in Maine!!!)…my favorite person, in my favorite place. It doesn’t get much better than that.

  424. Cindy Brick says

    It is really hard to type while you’re drooling…

    I belong most to this decade — and the previous one, too. The changes in our history are fascinating.

  425. Dana says

    I have always thought I should have been an adult in the 1950s. I like a slower pace and although I appreciate technology, life seemed simpler when it wasn’t so advanced. Great question and Mavis, I’ve never had a lobster roll. I only know that the HH loves them.

  426. Sherry in Sumner says

    Lobster? Did you say lobster? A fabulous dinner and dessert to boot! A great giveaway, Mavis.

    I too am an old soul and feel like I belong in the 1940s. WWII was in full force in the first part of the decade, and although life was very hard during that time, our country was also united and proud. Victory gardens were prevalent and necessary. People at home did everything they could to help family and neighbors as well. Rosie the Riveter was one tough woman icon and symbolized strength, independence, and perseverance. All citizens mourned those brave souls who lost their lives. But then the war ended in 1945. Can you imagine the exuberance when the troops came home? Yes, our country was united and I would have been proud to have been a part of it.

  427. Janet Kynerd says

    If I had to go back and relive a decade it would be the 2000’s. My wonderful husband and I were in better health and my my mother, son and grandson were still living.

  428. Jacqueline K West says

    This is a great giveaway! I think I would say the 2000’s – all the kids were young and so were we. 🙂

  430. Cathleen Deleon says

    I think for me, maybe the 1940’s. I always loved the music my parents played and I love to cook from scratch.

  432. Chyrl says

    I loved the second half of the 70’s. Family, friends, college and I met my future husband who makes my life better every day. Lobster rolls are one of my favorites & pie is the best.

  433. Cheryl says

    Lobster rolls and blueberry pie? Awesome!

    The decade I most belong in would be the roaring 20’s! A flapper dress, a cloche hat and a long beaded necklace, yes please!

  436. Reid Larimore says

    I grew up in the 60’s became a teenager in the 70’s so I can’t say one or the other! Guess my favorite time was late 60’s early 70’s! Love your Blog! Give Miss Lucy a squeeze for me Peace!!

  439. Lace Faerie says

    World calendar decade…2nd half of the 70’s when I was in high school and 1st half of the 80’s as young adults just starting out. My decades…my twenties. We were starting our family and I loved being a wife, full time homemaker, and a mother of 3 under 5. The happiest, most purposeful of years of my life until I became a grandmother who cares for her grandbabies while their parents’ work schedules over lap. So my 50’s have been pretty damn great, too!

  441. Margaret W. says

    The ’80’s most definitely! Music was still phenomenal, cool clothes and music. We were going to make an impact in our corner of the world. Families were more cohesive.

  444. Susan M White says

    The 1950’s hands down. I love the fashion of the 50’s where women could wear dresses and pearls in their everyday routine and it wasn’t thought weird. Men looked so classy in double-breasted suits and fedoras, people dressed for dinner, and formal Sunday family dinners were an absolute given. It was such a completely different world back then, and in a lot of ways, I think the sense of family was a lot stronger than it is sometimes today. Family businesses thrived, the average working man was respected, and everyone knew their neighbors. I just love everything about that time period.

  445. Marlene Wurtzbacher says

    I would like to live in the 1940s. It was the Depression era, but I would have learned to be more frugal, I am sure. I like the clothing styles, the music and the movies!

  448. Trish Baker says

    This is a tough one because I can look back and see significant things in all decades. As far as music goes, I’m a classic rock girl, but I guess if I have to choose, it would be the decade I’m now. I love the technology that enables me to visit with my grandchildren. I also like the fact that I can be anything I want to be.

  450. Lisa says

    That’s a fun question but I’m going to be boring and say I probably belong in the time that I am.

  453. Mrs. C. says

    I always thought that joining Star Fleet would be the best job ever, so probably the 24th century, first decade.
    If we’re talking the last 300 years, 1790. New nation, new Constitution, so much hope.

  462. Linda Practical Parsimony says

    I am in many ways still a child of the 60s. I graduated h in 1964. But, I got two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s degree in the 90s, so that was good, too, since I love going to school. But, I like my flip phone for the mobility and safety.

  463. Ellen C. says

    Since my music preferences esssentially only encompass 1970’s to early 1980’s, I would choose the decade 1970 to 1980. But if I were to relive it I would love to retain the confidence and experience gained from the here and now.

  464. Shelle says

    I’m a believer in the phrase “bloom where you are planted,” so I belong right here, right now, exactly where I am!

    Also, when we visited Maine two summers ago, my brother surprised us with an authentic Maine dinner of lobster and blueberry pie. It was awesome!

  466. Linda T says

    When I was a kid I thought I should have been born in the 1800s, because I loved the long dresses and hats and bustles. As an adult I know how hot women must have been dragging all that crap around on a hot summer’s day! And I definitely could not have managed to keep my mouth shut and be “the little woman.” No rights, husband could beat you if he wanted, couldn’t vote -no thanks. I’d have ended up being chained to the kitchen radiator!
    So I guess I will trust God’s plan and be happy with the decade I was born in -1950s. I’ve seen a lot of changes in rights for women, and rights for others, I lived through the tumultuous 60s, and adjusted all out business operations for the Y2K threat that never came when the century changed. So far we have made it through 2020 and Covid, though many have not and we mourn them. But we have had a lot of joy as well.
    Lobster and blueberry pie could make me very happy!

  469. Julia A. says

    I think I was born too soon. I think I should be here in the 2250’s. Love SYFY anything. Or maybe in the early 1900’s when science was really taking off. I’d be a scientist. Love your blog. Would love to see some rug hooking.

  471. Cyndi Parido says

    The 90’s for sure. My children were little and my husband and I young. It was the best family time.

  475. Anne P. says

    I would have to say the 70s. That’s when I spent my teenage years and it was a lot simpler without all this technology and constant access the phones.

  476. Michele L Palmer says

    I like belonging in this decade. It would be nice to go back to a more simpler time, but I am into the advancements we’ve made with medicine and technology.

  478. Sharon D. says

    Wow what a delicious giveaway! Thanks Mavis! I know that I belong exactly where I am now but the 1940’s is tempting with it’s music, film, and more 🙂

  479. Kari says

    I belong right here, right now. I have finally figured out what makes me happy and I live how I want— without all the things I busted my butt working to get!

    Never had a lobster roll but it sounds amazing as I love lobster!

  480. HollyG says

    I’ve got to say now. Other decades look really interesting and intriguing, but women weren’t treated very well so I’m going with now. Things aren’t perfect but we are making baby step in the right direction.

  481. Trudy Judkins says

    1960s, married in 1963, first baby boy in 1968. Good years.
    The lobster and pie are great gifts!

  485. Julie says

    The 1970’s were really good for me and those lobster rolls! We vacationed a lot in New England and lobster was all any of us wanted.

  486. Rubie Morin says

    Whenever the west was wild . . . . . 1880’s? I have always been told that I would have been Annie Oakley if I grew up back then! Loved to ride horses and shoot! I am 75 now, past my crazy, reckless days, and have slowed down a bit, but I still think it would have been awesome!

  488. Bonnie says

    The 1800’s when Laura Ingalls Wilder was growing up. Love the old fashioned ways and simpleness of life….don’t know if i could take the hard work they did back then, but love reading about it.

  489. Beth says

    Lobster rolls AND Maine blueberry pie? Does life get any better than that? Have you made it to Helen’s in Machias yet for pie? Best. Pie. Ever! Oh, I totally belong in the ‘60s. Old hippie. Love your blog.

  490. Jennie Harris says

    The 80s had the best music! And we did things, we didn’t just sit around texting and looking at facebook. I miss those deeper relationships.

  491. Diane Cato says

    I wouldn’t want to have to telearn how to make my hair so big, but the music of the ’80s is still pretty awesome.

  492. Martha says

    This current decade when I finally feel financially secure after decades of being afraid there wouldn’t be enough. I just wish technology didn’t move quite so fast so I could catch up and catch on to more of it. Great giveaway. Thanks, Mavis.

  493. Jamie says

    I think I may belong in either the next decade or the one after that. I am so over this covid stuff.

  494. Annette L. says

    The 50’s. Wasn’t born until 1967, but I’ve always thought the 50’s were a good time to grow up.

  499. Michele says

    I belong in the late 1800’s. A slower pace and great architecture and fashion.

    Great combination lobster and blueberry pit. Yummy

  500. Dee says

    This is a perfect gift! Thanks for sharing Maine with us. I cannot go back and re-live the past decades. I can truthfully say that I ignored the bad parts of each, and enjoyed the good parts. I have wonderful memories, still enjoyed….and lots of things I still enjoy. I’d do it all over again!

  501. Laura says

    That’s a good question…. I’m rather odd to where I don’t know where I would best belong. Now is always best though, I think it always gives the most for fun.

  503. Angela D. says

    I think the decade I belong in is the present one. I always try to be the best version of myself that I can be, in the present. Looking back? Well, we can’t go back, can we?! So, I don’t think I could “fit” back into any previous decade.

  504. Tisha says

    I definitely belong to now. I appreciate modern conveniences, and am at a point in my life where I can prioritize them to suit me. I am encouraged and hopeful about the trend to let people be who they are instead of everybody conforming to the same ideal. I find the world a richer place for it.

  506. Sheri says

    I belong in the 30s. Life wasn’t so complicated, people lived simply, and there was a greater appreciation for things.

  508. Diana says

    I would have to say right now this decade! I love having grandchildren, seeing my kid’s accomplishments, and I love technology!

  509. Stephanie Jones says

    Hands down the 1950’s. I love all things about that era – including all of the martinis after work!

  511. KL says

    I’ve been trying to learn to live in the moment. Trying not to dwell on the past and not pining for the future but enjoy the moment for what it is – looking for the good in everything.

  514. Greta Dowell says

    I have taken up gardening and canning in the last couple of years. It is having a resurgence since the virus so I will stay in this decade and practice some old ways!

  515. Teri says

    I loved growing up in the 60’s. No cell phones, no computers, just loads of time playing outdoors, running all over the neighborhood with no worries. It was also before abortions were legal. I know you can’t legislate morality but thinking about all the abortions is sad.

  516. Starla says

    I would have to say definitely the 90s. I would absolutely love more time with my passed loved ones, and just more time in this life!

  522. Linda says

    I’d have to say the ’80’s because that’s high school for me, but I love to read about life during the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s!

  529. Denise Winder says

    I belong in this one. A lot of technology I could do without but I wouldn’t change my life for anything.

  530. Midwest Beth says

    The 80’s were the best decade for me- totally! The music, trying new things, having the youth/body/energy and loved the clothes.

  531. Carolsue says

    I think I would have to say the 60’s. Loved the music and things were much simpler in those days.
    Plus. I graduated from high school and college in the 60’s and also got married in the late 60’s. So good times.

  534. Brenda says

    I suppose I like the current era, but I could do with a little less internet and the connectedness of everything. I don’t need my refrigerator to make my grocery list for me or my phone to listen to every word I say!

  536. Monica B says

    I sometimes think I belong in the times long time ago (like the late 1800’s or early 1900’s but then realize I would not be the same person and not be able to be with my husband. So I think this decade fits me just fine.

  538. Jennifer Lee says

    I belong in some future decade when all humans finally evolve into compassionate and thoughtful beings. One can hope.

  540. Christie says

    I would say I belong in the 1970’s. Time were changing but not too much. I have a hard time relating to things today.

  541. LE Khan says

    Wouldn’t it be nice to go back in time, the 70’s would probably be my choice at my age.
    I do have hope for the future though as well.

  543. Faye says

    I choose the 60’s.

    I discovered Maine and its iconic lobster rolls and wild blueberries on a Trip to Maine. Love, Love, Love both Lobster Rolls and Blueberry pie! The pair would be an awesome Christmas Treat, if I should be picked!!

    A friend put me on to your Blog about 4 years ago. I so enjoy Following all your Adventures in Maine, and look forward to your postings. Thanks, Mavis.

  545. Jaime says

    That is tough question! I love modern conveniences but I love slower paces. I think we are where we are for a reason though and I will go with right here, right now.

  546. Jennifer says

    Even though I love my life now in this decade, I would say the ‘80’s were my fave. I loved everything about it…the music, fashion and YES! the hair!!! Being in my teens and having my dad still around
