HISTORY and ROCKS — 22 and 23 JUNE 2018
A short quick post, because you could still go to my recommended “rock show” tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, put it on your “must do list” for next year. I still owe you my North Conway, and Red Lion Inn … Continue reading
FILLING IN THE MAP for FIVE HOURS – 17 JUNE 2018
Number One son called a few moments ago asking what I had done today. “I traveled a road I had not been on before,” I replied. He said, “I can’t believe you have any left.” Yes, I do, and some … Continue reading

YEAR END HOLIDAY HURRAHS – 28 and 30 DECEMBER 2017
PRELIMINARY NOTE – Most important event of the year at the end of this post. I had been pining to see The Red Lion Inn decked out in its Christmas fashions, but following a busy and packed month, as time … Continue reading
CHRISTMAS BY CANDLELIGHT – OLD STURBRIDGE VILLAGE – 2017
In October I visited Old Sturbridge Village (OSV) for the first time in nine years, and it had been decades before for my previous visits. I spent the whole day there – loved it – and purchased my membership when … Continue reading
PORTSMOUTH (NH) HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS – 19-20 NOVEMBER 2017

VISITING 1838, AND HOW IT CAME TO BE – 10-12 October 2017
