Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Thanks so much Chancey! Lynne and I went to my mom's house in nearby Franklin, MA (my hometown). My mom's house was built by her great grandfather. I have countless happy memories spent there!

The photos below are old ones.. but that's where we were today.




It was a chilly 11 degrees F. by the time we headed back home to N. Smithfield, RI around 7:00 p.m.

Kim about 5 years ago I went to Ocean City, NJ for my vacation. I enjoy walking the boardwalk and I like to see the events taking place during the week which is noted at the historic music pier. It was blazing hot and I made it to the pier and I sit on the bench next to a fellow dressed in a 3 piece suit and a derby like hat. I was thinking, this cat must be burning up. We get to talking which was more directed towards myself as he was asking questions when several people started coming up to him asking for autographs. I then ask him exactly who he was in which he replied " I'm Arlo Guthrie". Well, I was taken back and somewhat embarrassed as I didn't recognize him immediately. He was playing at the music pier later in the day.

What a GREAT story Ken! Thanks for sharing. When my son "Jacob" was in college some 7-8 years ago, his roommate invited him to see his "grandfather".. perform. Jacob politely accepted the invitation.. although he was unaware of who his roommate's grandfather was. A few days before the performance, someone asked Jake if he was excited to be going.. to which he replied; "yea.. I guess so.." The person then asked if Jake knew who he was going to see play.. "no.. I don't" Jake said. His roommate's grandfather was Bob Dylan...
