I’m going to finish my visit to Woburn, Massachusetts by taking you to the historic center of town featuring a church, a church and a bank. Although these either aren’t the original buildings or the original occupants, the buildings are still quintessential New England. Unfortunately, I came up a little short on history for these...

Our daughter Faith visited on Sunday. When she texted to let me know she was on her way,I asked her if she wanted to walk with me and Maddie before leaving for our hike. She loves Maddie and agreed.

Today is Veterans Day in the US. I would be remiss if I didn’t stop for a minute to recognize the service of the many veterans who have served this country in so many ways.

This is about things that seem too good to be true,... Continue Reading →
It’s a great day at the bar. We have Cheryl behind the bar and we are going to wrestle with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt as we consider my sanity. Linda’s prompt is: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘nuts.’ Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!” Let’s not... Continue Reading →
