January in Toronto, Wisconsin, New York, and Getting Practical Back on Chincoteague

In January, we visited our oldest friends Angie and Jeff in Toronto, and absolutely froze. Apparently we “enjoyed” some of the coldest weather they had had in a long time. But, hey, we love that city. We were delighted to be able to see the exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Royal Ontario Museum. Just in time since the exhibit moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin the very next day.

New Croton Dam in Croton-on-Hudson, Westchester County NY.

On the drive back to Chincoteague we made our usual stopovers with friends and family in Croton-on-the-Hudson, NY and Falls, PA (with the additional treat of a lunch in New Jersey with friends from Manhattan, NY.)

Instead of our usual flight to warmer climes, namely Florida, we decided to be practical! Our little house on Clark Street had just been painted on the outside, but the inside of the house was in great need of a spruce-up. We knew our British friend Corinne was very handy with a paint-pot and brush and she agreed to help. Six weeks later we had painted the house from top to bottom, (actually from bottom to top!) and had replaced all the carpets. Barbara even painted furniture!

All our very best,
