Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
A couple of years ago I was going to surprise none other than Norm Frampton with a quick doorscurrsion when he breezed through the Hartford area. Norm and I had been planning to meet and to have lunch at Tunxis Grill, as he and his wife traveled from New York north to Montreal. They were... Continue Reading →
My new ‘back way’ home from work has brought me in contact with several interesting doors. In addition to the doors I featured from the library and town hall and those of St. John’s Church, I’ve collected several random doors. Those of you in the door business know how that goes – you’re photographing the... Continue Reading →
In the past three weeks, we’ve had three nor’easters and the threat of a fourth nor’easter that fizzled, unless it didn’t. At one point, they were predicting an all-day event that would dump 12"(30.5cm) of snow and then blow it around from one corner of the state to the other. Now, it’s supposed to keep...

Today’s doors belong to either St. John’s Episcopal Church or the Calvary Congregational Methodist Chapel in East Hartford, CT. The latter’s name is on the sign in front of the church, but the former has all the history – none of which says it doesn’t exist. There was an article in the Hartford Courant in...

This is a hard post to figure out. First, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I was only in Chicago for 24 hours. More than enough time to snap some door pics, have a few beers, two nice meals and walk my butt off while freezing my butt off, but not long enough to... Continue Reading →
I wrote last year about how quickly things become a tradition in our family. What I didn’t mention is how those traditions grow in both scope and importance. Three years ago, Faith took me to Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) for their “Christmas by Candlelight” exhibit. It’s great fun and walking around in the cold and... Continue Reading →
Today is Thanksgiving Day here in the US, and that means that many of you, including my lovely editor, have been cooking and cleaning since before I started writing this post. So, I’m going to cut you all some slack and just go with the door photos and their captions. I chose doors that don’t... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, I passed a construction site in a neighboring town. It looked like they were improving a Veterans Memorial, and like a good little blogger, I thought maybe I should get some pictures for a Veterans Day post. With traffic behind me and not a lot of options, I made the last... Continue Reading →
Last week, when I was staying overnight with the boys, I decided to check out a new bar / restaurant in their town. Actually, the place has been open for almost a year, but Faith hasn’t been, and neither has a coworker of mine, who lives nearby. She, the coworker, encouraged me to be the... Continue Reading →
