A HUGE thank you to all who purchased tickets for the Costume Raffle to benefit our Girl Scout troop. With your help, I was able to raise $148 to add to our trip fund. To put that into perspective, that will pay for almost all of the gas for our rental cars, or all of our tickets for the Ghosts Among Us and Cry Witch programs at Colonial Williamsburg.
And now for the winner. I had my daughter draw the prize, with witnesses, of course. And the winner is: LINDA REINHOLDTSEN.
Linda will recieve one custom costume of her choice, handmade by me, in time for Halloween! Thank you Linda!
We are packing our bags now and heading for the train on Monday evening (yes, this Monday!). We can’t wait. I’m sure you’ll hear all about it when we return.
Thank you again!

I’m sorry to say that there was no winner in the last photo challenge. I love the image, and hope all of you local folks will check it out now that you know where it is: under the railroad pass on Summer Street.


Yeah, you’re right. I do have a thing for graffiti.

What’s the slogan? “America Runs on Dunkin’”
I’ve always thought that was a little scary.
So our winner is Charlie. Charlie-who’s-lived-here-all-his-life-but-doesn’t-anymore. But he didn’t go far, for which we are glad. And glad too that he still plays Photo Challenge!
I think a little R&R is in order for my friend Charlie. So, I’m giving him some light reading. He and Mrs. Charlie can enjoy The Same River Twice, by Ted Mooney in their in-between-home. It’s an uncorrected proof, not even published yet (thus no picture). I believe it will be available in May. Of course, Charlie will have finished it by then, I’m sure.
I once went’a 4 square wallin’
Could hear thee Snippets a callin’
Had luck with a photo
Won a big cuppa jojo
Which I shared with me red-headed darlin’.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
