This croc was just hanging out. Nice smile!The pretty stone church on the corner of Main St. and Church St. has been sold for $225,000. It's still going to be used as a church but the name seems to indicate that it will be a Spanish ministry. I'm glad that they're keeping up the property. Everything looks nice and inviting.
Some items I didn't mention from our little trip to the Foster Fair: a portable shingle mill, maple syrup being made, farmers' market, steam powered fire engine and peddle tractors for kids. Of course there were the usual midway rides, dunkin' booth, raffles, potters, wood carvers, stone carvers, basket weavers, chair caning, rug braiding. Last, and in my book least, were the booths where you could try your luck to win one of those mega-monster stuffed animals! Nope, Grampa wouldn't try to win me something!
Went to UCONN in Storrs yesterday with local niece who's in the nursing program. We had a nice walk from the lower part of the campus where I used to live at Sprague Hall to the wonderful new Book Store. On the way we also stopped for a bite at the new Student Union and went through Wilbur Cross with its gold dome. Wilbur Cross is no longer the library which is a shame. It's a beautiful building and I'm certain that they did not replicate the wood stacks in the new library. The new building no longer has nets around it to catch the falling bricks so that's a plus! The old library now houses student services but it looks as if only the main floor is being used. I was also pleased to see that ROTC now has a building rather than the old hangar that they used to use. It's one of the older structures but it is in a centralize location.
Well I'll be off soon to visit my younger sister. Trying out that GPS system!
