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
Not a good picture but hey we take what we can... 2012 was a B I G year for us starting in Jan in Florida, working way across country; buying a house and joining a community! So to end the year we had dinner with friends and then attended the annual New Year's Eve party a few blocks away at the Community Center. We were taken under one of our neighbors wing and had the pleasure of meeting a lot of new folks and enjoying the evening very much. The music was probably the best I've ever noticed at a party like this! I could have stayed forever with all the great tunes from the 30's on down... so fun and such a friendly bunch of folks all sharing nibbles and hats and being silly and dancing and just chatting and having a good time. The ball dropped in NYC at midnight and we called it a night here at 10pm but did stay a little longer - no one was in big hurry to leave. Bad news is woke up next day with relapse of cold! Ugh! This darn thing won't go away and it's getting me down. Oh well. Just have to make the best of it and hope it will soon depart!
