Forgive Me….One More

   There was one town in Connecticut that seemed to personify what we figured an old, but still vibrant, town in New England would be.

   GUILFORD

   One friend here at home had suggested this town on the south coast of the state would be worthy of a visit. This town was settled in 1639, only 19 years after the Mayflower landed in Plymouth and is still an active spot today.

   Below are scenes from our 2 hour visit one Wednesday morning in May.


Oldest House in the state, 1639



Henry Whitfield, pastor and town founder, and owner of house above



Village Green, Congregational Church



Christ Episcopal Church



Lunch



True and good lemonade, too



Probably the only time my Birthday gift came from a hardware store


   And Color All Around





And, perhaps my favorite picture of the time there. Can anyone read the words in the reflection?


And what is it a reflection of?

Forgive Me, this town was just too good not to pass along…

Amen
