5-20-07 Today, Sharon and I made it up to the Weston/Ridgefield area to visit the Weir Farm Historic Site. It was a great spring day, so the walk to the pond was nice. We didn't wait for the tour, but just looked through the windows into the artists' old studios. Even better was our next stop--the Keeler Tavern. Great to go inside a place where it is reported that Patriots (including George Washington) met to discuss plans during the Revolutionary War. During the skirmish that took place in Ridgefield with the British, a cannonball lodged in the outside wall and it's still there

5-19-07 Brought Jesse to a totally hands-on museum for the preschooler-set today. Called "The Children's Place", it's in New Haven, and it's the coolest place!! We went over to eat afterwards at Atticus Book Store.
