Could I POSSIBLY have more fun? It's hard to imagine.<br /><br />Yesterday, T. Widmer's wife and son dropped by the House -- when he came to Washington College as the first director of the Starr Center, he bought this house for his family's residence. They lived here 6 years, which means Freddie grew from a little boy into adolescence here. All kinds of notes were taped to our door when we finally staggered back from dinner, from the kids Freddie grew up with in the neighborhood.<br /><br />There is history firepower gathered here. Cannon are always set off when the ships come in and leave port -- and there are fireworks every night -- this is a land that loves its rockets' red glare! Thus it's natural to use such an image.<br /><br />Love, c.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680622593910991248.post-80314756418646820512010-10-31T02:25:12.704-04:002010-10-31T02:25:12.704-04:00Wonderful pictures!
