Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
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 →
Last week, after my business in Minneapolis was concluded, my brother and I hung around for another day in the city. On Friday, we visited the Mill City Museum. I’ve written about the building that houses this museum. I was in the building, but for a business meeting, not a tour. I mentioned in the... Continue Reading →
In my recent business trips to Burlington, Massachusetts, I have explored the nearby towns of Lexington and Concord. Just saying “Lexington and Concord” causes most Americans to immediately think of our Revolutionary War where we fought for independence from the British. That war began within the geography of these two towns. I have been through... Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago, I included a sad little house in the gallery of doors. I’ve been looking for a house for Teagan’s story that fits her general concept for Birdie Devovo’s house.

Well, I am always interested if I see an interesting door or an interesting building, but sometimes, I just go about my business. Of course, that’s usually when my digital warehouse of doors is full and I know which... Continue Reading →
After two longer than normal posts, both dripping with technology, I decided you guys deserve a break. Rather than continuing our tour of Concord, Massachusetts, today I’m just sharing a bunch of doors. I don’t know much about these doors. I see most of them every day, but that’s all I’ve got. Thursday Doors is... Continue Reading →
As I was walking around Concord, Massachusetts last month, I did what most Thursday Doors participants do, I took pictures of doors. Every door I noticed. I figured that, as has often been the case, I would be able to fill in the blanks later. I already knew that my favorite source for history and... Continue Reading →
I’m still sorting through doors from Concord, Massachusetts, but I found two buildings that are curiously linked, so I thought I’d feature them together today. Why would I use the word “curious?” Well, how often do you run into a church that owns a tavern? Note: most of what follows is paraphrased from an article... Continue Reading →
