Visiting
TFC Chaplain George & Nancy
Friday, September 18
After heading north from Mystic Seaport, our trusty GPS unit took us right to George and Nancy’s little cottage which is located in a camp meeting “village”.
Their home is quite cozy (notice Cerwin checking out their upstairs), and doesn’t take many steps to walk from one end to the other. They do a great job of making the space work.
They took us on a delightful walk around the grounds, showing us the chapel, the library, and other buildings to which the residents have access. We also met several of their neighbors.
Pretty hydrangeas were in full-bloom.
We ended up at the cottage they had reserved for us for the night. I loved it at first sight. This cottage is not insulated, so nobody lives here fulltime – making it available for residents to rent out to their friends for a night or two.
After unloading our suitcases, we went to a local restaurant for dinner, and had a fabulous time catching up on each others lives. George is lead chaplain at the chapel at Flynn’s Travel Plaza, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.
My delicious chicken, rice, and vegetables.

George’s liver, potatoes, and corn
Then it was time to settle into our cute, little cottage.
It was full of antique furniture, and made me feel like I was visiting one of my grandparents. I remember rooms and items like this.

We slept well, and were up early the next morning to have breakfast with Chaplain Jeff and Maryellen and their three girls.
I’ll introduce them to you tomorrow afternoon.
