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.

This year has been so different for us with decorating. 1st time with real tree in 13 years! We have ornaments from all over the country so all with memories attached besides older ones we did manage to hang on to when we 1st went full-timing. We even have a few strings of lights out in the front yard. Our neighbors were feeling like grinch after seeing our house so have joined in the fun of decorating too. It has been a busy time - went to Senior Talent show here in our little community and that was fun. 92 year old lady in red sequin dress; wow! She looked and sang like 92 but she was having a gay ol time and we loved it! I was impressed with the "tappers"; a group of about 6 ladies all seniors with their old tap dancing skills and the cutest outfits that one in particular had the skill to make for all! Very nice indeed. Last evening had a local church choir put on a show for us older folks which was very nice and so great they came to us. ha! Enjoying this community and all it's activities.
