It is believed that in 1870 a German ship, once... Read Full Story
I am in need of more business cards and found another great source on Etsy as my original isn't available and I really, really need them. I really love my old ones - however, I told him I was willing to look at what he had in mind. I have a few minor text edits to be made on the new one - basically wording. What do you all think? OLD: NEW: Thank you to all who chimmed in! I have decided to go with the new one to see how it works - however, I am also going to be re-ordering my old ones... Read Full Story

Visiting the Cathedral of the Pines... Both of my children were baptized at The Cathedral of the Pines in Rindge, NH - and every now and then we day trip up to visit the tranquility and beauty that resides there. This cathedral is also as abundant in history as it is in nature. There is an outdoor place of worship, which overlooks Mt. Monadnock, that is breathtaking. There is also a marble alter "Altar of the Nation" where our ceremonies were held. The three slabs of marble came from a... Read Full Story
