Bucks Redux
This is the third August that I’ve rented in Bucks County. This years’ house was terrific, a stone beauty from the 18th century with all mod cons, well-appointed and set on a 100 acre conserved farm. The front of the … Continue reading
Fire
As in Island, not a conflagration with sympathies to those forced to deal with the red-hot kind. I visited a friend of many years’ standing on FI over the weekend. She’s been coming here since she was an infant, in … Continue reading

Mattress
As in Once Upon A, not the kind from Caspar or Tempur-pedic. I saw the original show with Carol Burnett as Princess Winnifred, the performance that brought her well-deserved fame. (I’ve had a long affinity for her as people … Continue reading
