Connecticut Visits...

We keep saying to people we meet, "Home is where we park it!" So...This time we parked our motorhome in Wales, Massachusetts. This is located close to the border of Connecticut. We decided this would be a good central point to do some visiting. We stayed at the Oak Haven campground and it became our home for a few days. We were the only campers in the park!

Peg and I wanted to visit my Aunt Irene in Putnam, Ct. Actually, Aunt Irene is really my 2nd cousin but we have always call her auntie! Her son, Dennis, wife Marilyn, sons Jeff and Mathew (and their two poodles, Jack and Ginger) live near her and we stopped by to see them all as well as Dennis' business. We heard (from other cousins) about Dennis the Cupola King! Had to check this out. It was a really nice visit and Dennis showed us his cupola shop and some examples of his work. Wow! What great work. He builds them for folks all over the country. Want a cupola? Check out the website at www.classiccupolas.com.

We moved the RV into Connecticut to a campground called Aces High. It got its name from being close to the Indian run casinos (Foxwoods and Mohican Sun). The campground was nice and it actually had a few residents there. Not too many of us in New England with RV's this time of the year. It is definitely getting colder...

On Sunday Nov 4th, we visited with my cousins Bill and Lyndell for brunch at the Terra Mar restaurant located at a marina on the Connecticut River. What a great location and what great food. A over abundance of great food! We enjoyed the food and the conversation for several hours. It was nice seeing both of them and catching up on their lives and those of their family. We all went back to the motorhome for a "tour" before they headed back to their home. Even their dog, Dakota came along. Tomorrow, we head to the casino!!
