Trip to New England, October 6-13: Celebrating Elizabeth’s 2022 Birthday
~~~ Wednesday, October 12 ~~~ I say this so often. If we didn’t take children and grandchildren out for their birthdays, we would miss out on so many culinary delights. I doubt that Cerwin and I would have chosen Maiz if we had gone out alone, but this was so much fun. This was Elizabeth’s […]

~~~ Tuesday October 11 – Lunch ~~~ Mark’s birthday was six days earlier – before we arrived at their house. He has Tuesdays off from his work as a driver for First Fleet. He was considering several restaurants. Because he had seen this 40’s diner in his travels, he settled on this one. Mark and […]
Trip to New England, October 6-13: Monday Drive to Rockport, Maine
~~~ October 10 ~~~ Diane knew we wanted to go to a location in Maine where we had never been. We left early Monday for a beautiful (northeast) drive on a fairly cool and cloudy day. I find the landscape to be interesting when driving close to the ocean. It is quite different than Lancaster […]

Trip to New England, October 6-13: Driving to Mount Washington
~~~ Friday, October 7 ~~~ We weren’t sure how our scenic drive would go – between Lebanon, New Hampshire, and Mount Washington, New Hampshire, when our day started like this. I took these pictures about 9 am. By 9:30 things looked more encouraging as the clouds and rain gave way to sunshine. By 10 am […]
