A dedication to the New England (and nearby) areas—travel, food, lifestyle.
We toured Simsbury, CT a few weeks ago and I took some photos that probably won’t mean anything to anyone but me. I have a photo of the house I grew up in from age 4-11 as well as the Nursing Home my mother used to work at, the brook I grew up exploring, the schools and church I attended, and Ray’s Barber shop, where we bought our daily supply of bubble gum!!
Sometimes the best finds are the ones you find by mistake! A few weeks ago we headed to Simsbury, CT, where I spent my early years, hoping to climb Talcott Mountain. Unfortunately, I didn’t research in advance, and found we couldn’t get anywhere near the mountain because there was a huge event, and cars were parked up and down the road! On to Plan B. I remembered going to McLean Game Refuge when I was in girl scouts, so we headed there. Wow, what a gorgeous location, especially with the peak autumn colors!! So glad for Plan B.
