MARBLEHEAD, MASSACHUSETTS
NOVEMBER TOUR WITH COUSINS

Kris had gone to Arizona for the weekend and Dennis went to Marblehead. Marge had invited her brother, Bill to join us and the three or us had a wonderful reunion. We had not spent time together in at least 40 years although we the best of friends as kids. We walked around Marblehead - being guided by Marge - and we looked at lots of old photos and simply spent time remembering. Saturday evening we went to a live production of "Hairspray" which was great. But nothing could top the experience of just being together again.

These are examples of the state of art architecture in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Straight edges seem not to have been invented yet and plumb lines were light years beyond.

If you live in one of these old houses, you have a title plaque like this.
