Trip nears end

After more than 6 weeks away, our trip is winding to an end. I think I’m ready for the most part.                  We’re doing our last overnights here in a small rv park called Two Rivers in Skowhegan, Maine.       Skowhegan doesn’t have much to offer, except a New Balance outlet, but the river and surrounds are great. 

Before we arrived in Maine we spent a few days in Rhinebeck, NY. This small town has much to offer in the way of old architecture and yummy foods and specialty shops. The windy roads and rolling green hills with stone fences are positively dreamy.

                                  

        The views of the Hudson River were stunning and the fact that our son was able to join us from NYC after seeing us just last week in NC was the icing.

This was taken at Poet’s Walk Park. Son and my hubby are posing in the area Washington Irving walked to get his inspiration. On this day the humidex was 96, so our three miler was challenging.

In town, the Beekman Arms is popular; it’s the oldest inn in US, opening in the 1760s and us purportedly where Aaron Burr and Andrew Jackson had their argument which ended in the fatal duel. I could positively smell history in the pub there. On Fridays they give ghost tours of the basement. 

 Lastly, we walked around 1800s Wilderstein House where the Suckleys summered for years. They were related to FDR.       

And I managed to visit Sandy of WOOLEN MEMORIES in Ware, Ma.                                          Her sweet she-shed, packed with patterns and wools, was dreamy.                                                                     I left with a package of new wools and two patterns. I’ll photograph these when I’m home and unpacked. 

Very grateful and happy to have been able to see family and friends again. Also that our old dog Lucy could share it all. What rich blessings ♥️♥️
