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!

Is there anything in the world like the ocean? Took a walk along the beach and saw Jonathan standing here enjoying it as much as we... ha! It is beautiful and we love it. This park is right across the street from the beach so we can hear the wave action inside and it's wonderful. After lighting here we took a whirlwind trip in car down to AZ to have a very quick visit with sister Sandra and brother in-law Tom and then on to see son Roy and granddaughter Jaylee. Checked out the area and a house we are intending to purchase and then made the whirlwind trip back to Oregon. Oh my goodness, that many hours in the car is terrible. Not sure why so hard on us but think it because our bodies are so in tune with daily schedule and didn't do any thing norm for days! Getting back to routine and feeling better. Fall weather is on it's way and we are getting some cool fog but expecting the dreaded wet stuff which is due tomorrow! Knowing everyone needs the rain so much we just can't complain. As we passed through the Los Angeles area I was distressed to see the smog so thick you could cut it with a knife or so it seemed. Haven't seen it so bad in years but expect that is because we have been away for so long. ha!
