Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
When I was detoured into the center of Broad Brook a few weeks ago, I drove by a nondescript little building that had a sign that said “Broadbrook Library.” My first thought was that the building wasn’t big enough to be a library. Door-high hopes had me instantly thinking that this was the original library... Continue Reading →
Several weeks ago, while on my way to our local lumberyard, an accident had closed the road I was traveling on. Police on the scene at the nearest intersection were routing people to the right. I asked for directions, and they began with “continue down this road and turn left between the dam and the... Continue Reading →
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 →
Today is going to be a very long and very busy day. I decided to share a door photo that my good friend Brad Lewis passed along to me on Facebook. My regular readers will understand the appeal of this door. If you’re new to No Facilities, I’ll explain. We have had Irish Setters for... 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.

In honor of this day, I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the remaining doors from Concord, Massachusetts – where our battle... Continue Reading →
I know I’ve shared doors from Old Sturbridge Village before, some night shots from our Christmas tradition and some photos of the gingerbread houses, but I can’t resist sharing some pictures from our visit there on Father’s Day. I’m pretty sure I have several that I have not shared before. If you want to scroll... Continue Reading →
Sunday was Father’s Day, and our daughter Faith took me to breakfast and then to Old Sturbridge Village. OSV was having a Father’s Day event – Baseball, Beer and BBQ – which seemed interesting. Mainly, it was a chance to spend some time together and see some of the exhibits that aren’t open when we... Continue Reading →
Aside from their relation to my inability to follow directions, and the fact that their residents fought against slavery in America, these two homes have nothing to do with each other. I stumbled across them, on different days, while visiting Concord, so I thought I’d focus on them today, as I wind my way through... Continue Reading →
