Who knew that our dear friend, Linda J Schoonover, lives not even an hour from Woodstock, CT? Who knew that her folks, Ernie and Viv Johnson, also our dear friends, were going to be with Linda and her family while we were right there in her neck of the woods? Who knew that we’d have a free morning to spend with Ernie and Viv while Linda worked? Who knew that we’d have a free evening to spend with Linda and her hubby and daughter? We did have great fun! Who knew that our hosts in Woodstock would have free passes for Old Sturbridge village for a morning visit for the 4 of us? We had a lovely day and great reunion with these buddies from Zaire/Congo days. Thankful is what we are for the gift of friendship from the Creator who knew this all was going to happen!
Old Sturbridge Village uses volunteers to display the way of life around 1830. I was surprised by the variety of goods available and the craftsmanship in all the handmade things.
Of course some visiting military oftentimes drop in! Sort of like in C.A.R.!
