Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
I realize that it’s been a while since I focused a Thursday Doors post on a single building. I also realize that that building was a church and it was, at least partially, named St. Patrick’s. I was originally planning to use this church for St. Patrick's Day in 2016, but then I got sick... Continue Reading →
In an effort to keep this post short, I thought I’d stick with the Big-E, since don’t have to explain much. If you’re unfamiliar with the Big-E, you can read what I wrote about it here, here and, most recently, here. If you’re unfamiliar with Thursday Doors, it’s a weekly parade of doors led by...

Saturday, Faith and I went to The Big-E – The Great New England Fair. The Big-E is a harvest fair, an old-time agricultural fair. It’s supposed to be cool and breezy, with fair food and maybe a cup of hot chocolate, if you’re there very early or still there very late. It’s not supposed to... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, you’d be confused by my opening remark. “Welcome back!” “Thanks, but I wasn’t gone.” “I guess I should have said ‘welcome back, Cheryl’ to avoid the confusion.” “Oh, right. I’m sorry, Cheryl, I didn’t see you. Unfortunately, I’m looking at him.” “It’s OK, it’s good to be back. So,... Continue Reading →
I’m wondering how many of my regular readers saw the photo of the Windsor Historical Society building in Monday’s post and thought: “I bet he’s coming back to those doors on Thursday.” What can I say, I’m nothing if not predictable. The stone bridge’s birthday party will ultimately lead to three blog posts. There was... Continue Reading →
If we were having a beer, you’d be interested in the casino story. “Have they started building that casino yet?” “Which one?” “Sigh…” “Well, they will finish the one in Springfield next year. They haven’t started the one across the river.” “That’s the one I meant. I also meant to ask if you’re upset about... Continue Reading →
Summer activity is in full swing around here, which is putting a crimp on doorscurrsions and, to a lesser degree, time for writing. I had a plan for this week’s Monday post and Thursday Doors. When Monday’s post went off the rails, it took Thursday with it. I think they call that collateral damage. In... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, I was staying in Burlington, Massachusetts. On my way to Burlington, my GPS stopped working. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem, I’ve been to Burlington often enough that I don’t really need directions. However, the day after I arrived in Burlington, I had to drive to a specific address in Georgetown, MA.... Continue Reading →
If I know my regular readers, they’ve been expecting this post. Initially, I thought I’d hang on to it until winter and surprise you with a blast from the past set of bright sunny summer doors. I can’t. I just can’t. I see these photos in my folders and I just want to share them.... Continue Reading →
