My friend Alicia and I went on a drive "out Route 2" today in search of Petersham, where Emmeline B. Wells was born. A friend mentioned there was a "general store" and we found it (it's a small town!) and ate lunch there. Then we ventured to the town of Orange and found an antique shop and I bought a cool shelf/cubby for storing fabric (I will post photos as soon as it has some fabric in it). Then we found an OLD Wal*Mart where I bought some fabric (Barb took so long to cut the fabric I felt like we were old friends by the time she finished) and a NEW Wal*Mart where I picked up a few necessities and we headed home. It was a chilly New England day but a perfect day for a road trip.
Looks like you had a great time! We'll have to make the trek out there again sometime soon. I'd love to find out more about where Emmeline lived and studied. Isn't it cool that we live in the middle of so much history?!!
I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

You should have picked me up on your way out and saved me from my full day of cleaning house:):) Sounds fun, esp. your cubby find!
All those pictures of New England make me homesick!
