To borrow a phrase from comedian Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a redneck if you park one or more junked cars in your front yard…and I’d add you might be a working class Ohioan if you park a junked car in the street in front of your house.
And you’re definitely a Vermonter if you park a Subaru ‘n’ canoe in downtown Bennington.
Yes, I’m back in perpetually-rainy New Hampshire after yesterday’s all-day drive from Ohio…and no, neither one of these is my car, just two random pencam shots I took while walking Reggie: the first in my folks’ neighborhood in Columbus, OH on Saturday, and the second on our last rest-stop in Bennington, VT yesterday. And yes, the saying is true: Be it ever-so-rainy, there’s no place like home.

Yes, there’s no place like home.
Home is where we feeling safe, comfortable and cozy.

If you take Rte 7 south for a half hour, you will be at my childhood home, Williamstown, MA.
Lots of great memories of Williamstown, Pownell, and Bennington…some wonderful people.

Chuck, we’ve never met but your comment made me chuckle, since I live a mere 20 minutes south of Williamstown, and indeed was on Spring Street in that very town today to get my coffee and the mail!
Welcome home, Lorianne.
