We just returned from a New England Thanksgiving. We were able to spend time with our
friends, Steve and Evelyn Weber, at their home in Clinton, Connecticut. On Thanksgiving Day we traveled to Old
Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts.
This is a living history museum that recreates life in rural New England
in the early 1800’s. It was
delightful to walk around the village entering the various homes and businesses
and be educated by costumed employees on the life of our ancestors. The experience renewed our gratitude
for the hard work and ingenuity of our countrymen and forbearers. It also strengthened our gratitude for
the blessing of inventions that have occurred since the 1830’s that have increased
our quality of life. We were
grateful that we did not have to spend the whole day preparing our Thanksgiving
meal but could enjoy a feast prepared by others; a first ever for us!

Before
leaving Connecticut today Steve gave us a tour of Yale University. What a beautiful campus!
