History was the subject for our day. We planned to go to Deerfield Village in Mass. Which we did do but realized when we got there that it would be a whole day event to see all the homes that would be open to step through. We did drive through and I admired the New England Homes that I truly love and could move into anytime! The added onto home is so common here, some are even joined to their barns (winter protection?). The favorite home we saw to day is from 1675, burned by the Indians and abandoned. It was resettled in 1705 until they were attacked again in the French and Indian War when 116 were carried off and 60 people recovered and returned.
After eating lunch in Greenfield at Wolfies', a sought after place to catch a bite to eat. OH MY!! the clam chowder here is the real stuff and the Haddock is FRESH!!..yes, we ate a bit, enjoyed the New England free spirit that abounds here and away we went just up the road to our surprise was the Yankee Candle Museum and store. The factory was just up the road. Gary and I told them we had helped support their jobs for years! ha Of course, we got the deal of the day. If the kids were here we could have dipped candles and also make forms of their hands in melted wax. Fun!
There were so many candles and holders and rooms of candles, it was overwhelming but fun for the day. Then we headed back to the RV and enjoy our evening of relaxing. Sewing my quilt top together and shoot some hoops! God Bless!! Come and See us, we can explore it together! Love, Kari
