Weekend in Connecticut

I was in Connecticut visiting my sister-in-law over the weekend.  We went shopping at the Corelle outlet and had hot lobster rolls at a place on the river.  On Saturday night we took a haunted house tour at the Mark Twain House.  Mr.  Clemens did not show up, nor did any other spirits that I saw.  Still, it was an interesting tour.

Some day I will figure out how to get pictures off my new phone and I will be better able to share some of my little travels.

So instead of a picture, I will share a quote:


“Life is short, Break the Rules.  
Forgive quickly, 
Kiss SLOWLY. 
Love truly. 
Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret ANYTHING 
That makes you smile.” ― Mark Twain

  4. Good quote. My photos download automatically to FB when I push the link, so perhaps,with Blogger, you just need to set up the link as well.

  6. This makes me smile! Love the quote, and I would love to see photos.
    I use a USB cable to connect my iPhone to my computer and store my phone photos along with my camera photos

  7. I hope you figure it out soon. I would love to see all the pictures of your adventures. P.S. My last trip to the Corelle outlet cost me around $200.00.. Gotta stay away from those places for a while.

  8. I have never tasted lobster rolls but the mention made me remember some delicious pepperoni rolls I used to get in Tulsa. My mouth is watering.

  9. Just ordered Roughing It by your missing ghost. He is one of those living or dead types I'd like to spend a day with. Sorry he didn't show up for you but sounds like a fun day anyway.

  11. Mark Twain was so wise and so good with words. A Corelle Outlet you say.... oh my! I, too would go broke!

  13. If you can't plug your phone into the computer, I send the photos to my email and then I save them to a file from which I can use it on a post. I'll bet there are easier ways, but that's what I do. I LOVE the Corelle outlets too. I just can't resist them, even when I should. And I love Mark Twain too.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
