“THE HEART OF THE COMMONWEALTH” – EXPLORATIONS AT “THE WOO” – 12 FEBRUARY 2022
That title may get you to read further. Six weeks into the new year, and I drove about 140 miles on 12 February – more miles than I have driven in two months. Yes, I have stayed home and safe, … Continue reading
BATTLESHIP COVE and BLACKSTONE RIVER VALLEY
It is January 9, 2022, and I am getting crazier. I do well being by myself, but I do like to travel, explore, and learn. The past few months I have been reviewing and traveling with my posts of the … Continue reading

A FOREST GROWS INSIDE “44” – Christmas Eve 2021
In the very early 1990s I was the lone book dealer at local antique shows. I saw some interesting boxes, and began collecting boxes that “spoke” to me (and I have a collection of books on boxes – of course). … Continue reading

HOLIDAY TOUR — 11 DECEMBER 2021
Yet again we face a difficult holiday season. Limited gatherings, limited holiday events. But 2020 was worse and there were none of the holiday tours I have enjoyed in the past. Most fun has been the Inndulgence Tour which friends … Continue reading
MORE GUILFORD, VERMONT, EXPLORATIONS – 27 NOVEMBER 2021
Remember that I write for myself to remember – but enjoy sharing. My recent explorations continue to be in Vermont – so close, but so far away in an historical feel. I have been learning about Dummerston, and have become … Continue reading
AT REST with AMOS AGAIN and other EXPLORATIONS – 11-14 NOVEMBER 2021
This has been a tough year to do anything. COVID has closed travel opportunities, and what has remained open has become expensive, and crowded. I “do not do crowds” and want to stay safe for travels in years to come … Continue reading
A TRIP TO WILTON, CONNECTICUT – 15-16 OCTOBER 2021
I usually “don’t do the past” but I did for a sad occasion — a friend I have known since before kindergarten passed away in July 2020, in North Carolina, and her memorial gathering and internment (due to COVID) was … Continue reading
DIFFERENT ADVENTURE — “RIDING OFF THE RAILS” – 17 OCTOBER 2021
This past weekend I was in Connecticut for a memorial service for someone I have known since before kindergarten. Three days, lots to share from the past, but again you are going to get my trip home first before the … Continue reading
“TIMING IS EVERYTHING” – A DAY OUT – 11 OCTOBER 2021
I hope you had a nice “holiday” three day weekend – I did. Saturday I was out early to some “sales” in Guilford and Newfane, Vermont, and found some treasures to place in new homes. Sunday, David and family visited, … Continue reading
