Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN! Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations! That is something in this young country with so littl
Our grandson Micah is turning 10 yrs old so happy we were here to participate in the celebration. Papa thinks it's time for him to start learning how to fix things so this years gift was his 1st tool box with tools to go along with it. ha! His mother is wondering how he is going to learn but that is what Papa is here for.. ha! We'll see how that goes.. that remains to be seen. He had a group of 5 friends stay over so one can only imagine how that went but fortunately for us we came on home. The joys of parenthood. It is fun to see the kiddos all having a good time. The theme was a lego party and we were introduced to the new lego store (enough to give me nightmares - ha!) All those little pieces and the hours of creation... I remember them so well with my children and now to see the grands into it too! how funny.. It was interesting to see all the "new" stores in the mall and all the old ones gone and empty store fronts. Sad in a way and crazy, how can people afford stores like American Girl and legos with time so hard for some? Makes no sense but guess it's all a matter of priority.. interesting.
