We ventured out to the Museum of Fine Arts today. Oh, there is so much to see. We sampled but a small amount of the offerings but relished beauty from Ancient Egypt to Dale Chihuly. We were dazzled by the special exhibit on jewelry and awed by Early American art such...
Still didn’t make the trip to the National Archives at Waltham, Mass. Still working out details of how to transport ourselves there. Instead we achieved a different goal for this trip. We went to the Apple Store on Boylston an purchased a Magic Track Pad to use with...
Initially we thought we would go to the National Archives at Waltham but then realized how long the trip would be and decided to do it on a day when we were prepared to leave early. Maybe Monday. Instead we walked to Lambert’s and...

It started out as a quest for tea bags, hoping to find a store open in Portland ME on Thanksgiving, but turned into a hiatus in dinner preparations and all of us going to explore the area of the Portland Head Light at Port Elizabeth, Maine. A fun time was had by all.
We wanted to visit the Adams Historical Park in our quest to visit as many American Presidential sites as we can. So on Monday after Greg & Rachel went to work we headed out on our own for the 45 minute train ride to Quincy Center only to find out that the park is...
It's good to be going home. Speedwell Store is a sight for sore eyes. Means we are only three miles away! It's been a great adventure and we've loved every minute but we're both looking forward to sitting our our own sofa. Had planned to stay put for a while but when...

Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

While we have been spending the winter scanning old paper records and memorabilia - over eight thousand images so far, Sc@rlett has been snoozing under her cover. When our local friends would ask us, "When's the next trip?", we've responded that we don't have anything...
It's been twelve years since I read this tale of music and magic, evil and courage set in Cornwall. Last time I read it in paperback format in the 1990's. In the intervening years the two of us have been making the transition to a digital library so this time I read...
Gunpowder for St Paddy's Day? Maybe not so inappropriate as it might sound. Karen discovered Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford back in August. Our friends Stan & Mary invited us to their house for a delicious Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner...
