Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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...

About a month ago, I shared some doors from a restored train station near Woburn, Massachusetts. I had stopped into the Woburn Historical Society, where I was given some information about historic sites in the nearby area. I hadn’t been planning to stop in, per se, as I didn’t think the office would be open.... Continue Reading →
It’s been a while since I made enough progress on the steps/decks to spend a post describing it. In fairness to me, I have accomplished a lot, but things like painting and measuring and planning, don’t make for interesting stories. This week. Visible progress was made. I’ve got some pictures; I’ll share some details here... Continue Reading →
I spent a couple of days near Boston, MA this week, but due to some room availability problems, my two nights had to be split across two hotels. The first night, I stayed in Woburn (that’s pronounced woo-burn – don’t ask me why). Then I moved up to Burlington. As often happens, there was a... Continue Reading →
We start on a sad Note: Yesterday, A WWII B-17 (bomber) flying with the Wings of Freedom Tour, crashed while trying to make an emergency landing at Bradley International Airport (BDL). BDL is about two miles from our house. As of the time I am writing this, 7 people have died and at least 9... Continue Reading →
Two things are happening this week that caused me to bring a not-exactly-new collection of doors to the festival. One, work is driving me crazy. Two, I love these barns! To be clear, these are all new photos. They’re just new photos of barns, some of which you’ve no doubt seen before. Still, there’s a... Continue Reading →
The weekend is here and it’s time to visit Cheryl at the bar and work our way around Linda G. Hill’s famous Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘weigh/way/whey.’ Use one, use ’em all, bonus points if you do that last thing. Enjoy!” Let’s have some fun.... Continue Reading →
Our daughter Faith and I attended the Haddam Neck Fair on Sunday. If I hope to stay close to the theme of Linda’s weekly challenge, I need to seriously curtail my desire to explain everything that we saw, and everything we ate, and the one precious thing Faith discovered as we were leaving. The Haddam... Continue Reading →
I had to visit an office at 960 Main Street in Hartford. Anyone who lived near this city prior to this century knows that address – it’s the G Fox building. G. Fox & Co. was the largest privately held department store in the United States in 1965, when it was sold to the May... Continue Reading →
