You are so good to share your wisdom with us in this way, Catherine! I imagine it is all hard-won, and that you are telling yourself what you say here. God bless you and your family! I wish your sojourn in the US were a little farther north, but if you ever adventure to New England to investigate all the true-blue history here, please let me know so I can host you! I'm Canadian, not American, and I love to explore American history not in isolation, but alongside the history across the pond and above the St Lawrence River!

What a lovely comment and kind offer, thank you so much! We are definitely planning to get to New England. Before we arrived we imagined we’d be off travelling the across the continent every weekend but of course now we’re here it’s a different matter! But we *have* to get to New England at some point!

Yes!!! We moved here just last summer, and I have not seen nearly enough of the "sights" yet. There are endless options--it's almost overwhelming! And things are close together--it's not a large geographical area. We are two hours from Boston and two hours from NYC on the CT coast. We would SO love to host you and do some adventuring together!

We actually thought we were coming to NE this autumn and I had a list as long as my arm of things to see, but the flights were eye-wateringly expensive so we decided to delay until a less popular time. Expect us when it’s significantly below freezing…!
