Wonderful park, lovely sunset. We meet next-door neighbors from Argentina. They have a European rig. Also a nice couple who are living out of a Sprinter van. Lake Erie Sunset

I’m so far behind in blogging but don’t want to forget these two. Such different experiences, but both memorable in their own way. The first was the Minuteman Campgrounds, close to Lexington and Concord. It’s been in the same family for a long time and their love and care is evident. We’re used to [...]

We did. We entered through the checkpoint of the Mount McGregor Correctional Facility, the guards flagged us on, after warning us not to let Taylor out of the RV – “I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that cat,” one armed guard said. So Taylor has become an outlaw. What picture of him will appear [...]

We took an hour and a half guided tour of Emily’s home, where she was born and died – and the next door home of her brother, Austin, adulterous husband of one of Emily’s best friends, whose young mistress wound up being responsible for the early publishing of Emily’s previously unpublished poems. A [...]

This day is for my Mom and Dad. Right up their alley, as they might have put it. They’re gone now, but I feel them at these sites, whispering in my ear, enjoying every minute. I start the day at the home of Louisa May Alcott. I’m alone on this visit (Dick has some [...]

We walk into the theatre for the orientation film at the Visitor Center, and before it even starts I’m totally captivated and intrigued. There is a regular projection screen on the right, but the rest of the place has the look of a theatrical stage, a tavern scene on the left, with real table, [...]

I really love the campground patrol at this place. The view out the window isn’t bad either. And the sound of the surf. We really lucked out with our campsite – B47 – we’re on the Merrimack River (the name familiar to us from [...]

Our cottage got some cosmetic surgery and sprucing up for her 100th Birthday. Good old girl – hope she lasts for many years to come and has a lot of fun making memories with whoever follows us here. Not that we’re planning on leaving anytime soon. Living Room: [...]
