Hey there, as I'm heading out to the awesome Falls Village Car Show...and missed church at the FV Congregational Church right by the FV DM Hunt Library which is having a nice tag sale at Center on Main (also in bustling Falls Village next to, Drum Roll....The new Falls Village Cafe and Gallery and across from 100 Main Street specialty housewares and gift shop...sometimes we'll splurge for that special someone or event more than ourselves...)

Okay so back to the news of events in July 2021...North Canaan, just 7 miles up the road from Falls Village (which is also known as Canaan but that's

An Americana 4th of July Weekend to Remember...and Inspire US All...in VT and MA July 2021

When duty to care for a little one calls, I tend to answer. I met the challenges of finding transportation that fit a tight budget and planned to be there a day early since I haven't travelled since I hopped on a jet in Feb 2020 to go to Hawaii. I had been in NY for a few days prior so the trip to JFK was not a challenge on the NY Subways which I had done a time or two before (once schelpping luggage up a flight or two of stairs for someone since the subway had a detour via  bus...)
