"Something I couldn't live without"

Not that I couldn't live without

my kindle, but when it dies,

I will order a new one that day!

Love reading on it!!!

 

 

Hank and his pumpkins...

Our first "real" snow storm of the season.

Luckily, it came on a Saturday.

Woke up to snow and went to bed 

to snow.  Ended up being about six inches. 

 

Amazing he can carry them so well!

I guess that is why they have handles.

 

Al with his shovel.

We have snowplow people,

but I guess the boys

thought of shoveling

as exercise...

Like I said, it is the

first real storm...

David

Hank wanting David to play "Dog."

Hank is a happy camper.

"Routine"

I have many routines in my life.

Project 365 has been a part

of my life since 2009,

so I would say it is a routine!

 

Me, it is what it is...

Some time ago, my friend Jay Dirnberger

asked me if I would be interested in being a docent

for the Westport Historical Society

Holiday Home Tour.  I said yes.

I have been to many home tours over

the years, including this tour.  Always find

the tours fun and thought it would

be fun to be on the other side.

 

The home belongs to Mark and Angela Graham

of Fairfield, CT.  Located in the Greenfield

Hills area.  This "White Beauty" was built

in 1937 by renowned architect

Charles Cameron Clark (1887-1957).

He favored the Federal style and designed many civic

buildings and residences in NY, PA, NJ and CT.

Including the Fairfield Town Hall in 1939

I was assigned to the light and airy

White Room.  Featuring 4 white club

chairs by O'Henry, a pair of antique

Chinese vases, and a marble cartouche in the

center of the fireplace.  A large painting

of a Spanish Cardinal by John Martinez

del Mazo circa 1634, who studied under

famed painter Valesquez.  There is also

a Paul Manship sculpture bust hanging

between the French-doors and a bronze bust

on the side table.  Manship is a

world-renowned sculptor for his works,

including the highly recognized bronze

guilded statue of the Greek legend

Prometheus in Rockefeller Center
