Blast from the Past

Family

Back in 1966 Stan, Danny, Steve, and their adult leader, Jim backpacked a portion of the Appalachian Trail. The following year Karen did the same on a nearby portion of the trail with members of her family. On their honeymoon Stan and Elaine did a day hike on the trail. Through the years all of us have hiked on portions of the AT and other trails in the Smokies. In June the two of us joined Stan and two of his daughters for a hike commemorating the 1966 hike. Today we received a package from Stan and Elaine with photos from the original trip and the commemorative hike along with custom coffee mugs sporting those photos!  

And as a celebration of our current passion, they sent a red truck pulling a teardrop salt and pepper set!

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

Fenton House and Spaniards Inn

A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.

Excursion to Bath, England

Excursion to Bath, England

Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
