Most people who know us know that we love to hike. Heading into the great outdoors is one of our favorite hobbies, and that’s one of the reasons we’ve enjoyed living in California so much – there are lots of…
Some of my favorite memories from New England center around its’ coastlines. From areas like the South Shore, The Cape and Newport Rhode Island I have enjoyed special summer times with my family throughout the years. When I realized Rich…
On my flight from Atlanta to Boston I was greeted by thunderstorms, rain and resulting travel delays. I’d been visiting my daughter, Jennifer and her family in Atlanta for a few weeks, and was headed to Western MA to reunite…
