  • Christmas at the Grignon Mansion.

    Christmas at the Grignon Mansion.

    I must confess, I don’t feel much like writing.  I’ve come down with an Illness that, according to my doctor, will be with me for another week or two.  It didn’t stop me, although it should have, from exploring an expression of Christmas, in the area.

I’ve blogged a December walk through the park late last year. However, it was just a delightful […]

  • Appleton’s Hearthstone Historical House Museum-the Victorian age ‘house of the future’

    Appleton’s Hearthstone Historical House Museum-the Victorian age ‘house of the future’

    They’re  tourist attractions all by themselves.  I’m sure you’ve heard of buildings said to be the “Home of the Future.”  The problem with those houses, in today’s evolving world, shortly they become contemporary.  Hell, after a passing generation or two, they’re outdated and probably out of place. ‘Why mention that?’, you ask.  I came across a landmark that had that billing, and rightfully […]
