Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Last week, I took you on a tour of the Suffield Green and the doors that surround it. A few of those doors were on buildings on the campus of Suffield Academy, a private secondary school.

Celebrating with a certain amount of trepidation, but the conditions seem favorable to sharing an adult beverage in the great indoors – at least this week. Of course, we’re going to let Linda G.
