Barberville Pioneer Settlement

For a little culture fix we headed northwest for a some Country Jamboree at the Barberville Pioneer Settlement.
Cool trivia for the day was the telegram was pretty much done away with by the 70's and the last commercial telegraph was sent in 1983.
The apprentice printer (Mason) was urged to produce 1500 flyers or else no lunch, he was pedaling as fast as his little legs could go!
On the way home we stopped in at Barberville Produce where I fell in love with this unique outdoor seating collection, alas we didn't have the $3500 required to bring it on home...so it's still sitting there.

Thursday Adventures

The Cruger-dePeyster Sugar Mill ruins in New Smyrna Beach.
Even in the early 1800's sugar was a risky buisness.

Jekyll Island GA, September 12 2011

The boy and I tagged along on a business trip with Jon and while hubby was working hard we spent the day in Jekyll Island GA.
This was Driftwood Beach, located on the north end of Jekyll Island, one of the most eerily beautiful beaches I have ever seen.

Shedding of the old...


This 56 inch baby was right outside the front door...As long as he/she stays a minimum of a foot outside that door, we are good.

Bow NH


Our NH vacation is over and as we were making our way south back to CT, we stopped in here for a hike and LB in Bow NH. The view and lake were a rather pleasant surprise but ended up being practical as well...The temps had topped over 100 degrees and after our hike we were hot! New England in summer, is simply paradise.
