The Saturday Morning Farmer’s Market in the Stonington Borough is a real delight. With fresh and frozen seafood, local produce, baked goods, handmade pottery and flowers there is always something to bring home. And being located on the town docks makes it a very special treat. It is Saturday, May through October, 9 AM to [...]

Our stock club liquidated our portfolio in January .. very lucky timing actually. After over 13 years together people’s lives and needs were changing and it was time. But we still try to get together socially so I invited them for the Stonington Garden Tour - Gardens by the Sea. What a [...]

Pete & Kellie recently visited San Diego and enjoyed a great day at the San Diego Zoo.   They shared some great pictures.

One day I looked out over the water and I was stunned to see the most complete rainbow! I ran in and got my camera to catch this beauty. Then I started searching for that pot of gold!

Kiawah is a breathtakingly beautiful island.  The 10 miles of gorgeous beach are just a small portion of the beauty.  The lush trees draped with Spanish moss and the low country marshes make you feel like you are in a nature preserve.  But the amenities are fabulous.  The golf courses, tennis courts and beach clubs are all [...]

I recently put together this commercial for our Library Spring Fair to be run on the public access channel here in Mystic.  I want to especially thank my nephew, Alex and his friend for doing the very professional voice-over for me.

We have been coming to Hawaii for the past 5 winters. I am always so impressed with the flora and fauna here. There are several botanical gardens “up country” which means part way up the side of the volcano. The elevation assures more moisture and a slightly cooler climate than at sea level. I [...]

Lanai is one of the smaller Hawaiian Islands.  It is about 9 miles off the coast of Maui.  It is small but gorgeous.  We love to take the ferry over and enjoy a day of snorkeling, lunch at the Four Seasons on the patio and then a tour of the island.  This year Peter joined [...]

This is the third year we’ve gone on a Blue Water Rafting trip to the southern coast of the island.  Each year we experience different things but it’s always a great time.  The pontoon boat flies across the water and it’s a warm, wet, bucking bronco ride.  This year we saw a lot of whales [...]

Our avid angler, Peter, chose to board the boat at 3 AM to go sport fishing on Maui.  He went on a 9 hour fishing trip aboard Start Me Up - a 41′ Bertram.

And what a day they had!  There were 6 people on the boat, though 3 of them spent most of the time [...]
