Greetings from the Elm City

Same project, different city. New Haven may be known as the Elm City but I suspect the elms here have gone the way of many other elm trees in CT over the years...dutch elm disease. We used to have two huge elm trees right by the road at the end of our brick sidewalk at the house where I grew up. I missed them when they succumbed...the real shocker was the huge tree in our neighbor's year that had to come down; it had a 6-8 ft diameter trunk. We all played on the stump after..it was everything from a bus to a pirate ship to a castle and beyond.

As usual, I digress. New Haven....hmmm. I do look forward to each new area with all places to explore. Yup already found the Talbot's outlet and the closest water is a few blocks away. Not bad. Weather should improve enough for some good walks soon. Google maps are pretty darn good too for getting around. Sure I grew up in CT but unless our parents took us someplace or it was on the route to the beach or college, I have no clue.

It feels weird to be back in a hotel as well. We did bring our pillows, a load of coffee beans and the vac pot we had in New London, so that helps. Oh the luxury of traveling by car and not plane. We stopped at The Vine and Table in North Hampton, MA on the way down....wow...all the wines...all the booze...all the sugars..hmmm did I mention yet that I'm into raw sugar as well? yup, I don't use it for baking but I do for most everything else. We picked up a few different kinds of sugar yesterday as well.

I know I am forgetting to mention something but then again, that's the fun of blogging...I can just up and bore the heck out of you several times a day.

The sun is coming out...enjoy the day all....
