Since moving from Mass. way to long ago, I went back this summer, I was do for a neighborhood fix, and I felt like I'd never left. I slipped into the old ways of talking and relating to family. What a hoot it was. Your right about the food though, absolutely mouth watering amazing! But nothing beats my family's home cooking.<br /><br /><br />BridgemorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-70558146988435714952011-10-17T17:58:15.385-04:002011-10-17T17:58:15.385-04:00Hey Steve, looks like a trip to Boston is in order...Hey Steve, looks like a trip to Boston is in order. There's so much to love. How interesting that Paul Revere's house is the oldest standing building in that part of town. I guess no one in their right mind would dare to knock it down. One if by land, two if by sea. I failed that question in a recent American history quiz.
