NO WINTER MAINTENANCE and LEAVES – 9 and 13 OCTOBER 2019
You know THIS IS THE WEEK for leaf peeping – and I had to do it and share. Two great days out, and some views for you to hopefully savor. The colors this year are wonderful – as I recall, … Continue reading
NOSTALGIA and HISTORY EXPLORATIONS – 25-26 JULY 2019

MAKING WAY ON – ROADS – RAILS – and WATER – 26-27 AUGUST 2018
A 34 hour vacation that felt like a week when I arrived home – that much done and seen – and three things that had been “on the lists.” In fact, the Inn I stayed at Cathy and I talked … Continue reading
PART 2 – MORE FILLING IN THE MAP IN CONNECTICUT – 7-9 AUGUST 2018
Wednesday, August 8, was my “full day” away. As I have discovered, and told you, it makes the most sense to remain in the same place for two nights – and then have a full day of exploration in-between the … Continue reading
MORE FILLING IN THE MAP IN CONNECTICUT – 7-9 AUGUST 2018 – Part 1
I have been restless, wanting to get away, but where to go. I struggled and thought. I have been reading more about the Connecticut River, and decided I had to explore more in Connecticut. Do you remember the most recent … Continue reading
