This blogger is currently enjoying a change of scene, visiting in Connecticut for a week. So far I’ve hit the yarn store and L L Bean and the Men’s Grooming Salon for a much needed haircut for my husband. He rivaled the newly acquired dog Holly. Pictures to follow. 
Not my husband or Holly but a picture of flowing locks to sort of give you the idea. This image is of Lewis Burden, one of my ancestors
Rev Francis Dane, another ancestor
Barnes and Noble and Essex await. As if I had to come to Connecticut to visit Barnes and Noble.

Working on my genealogy this morning I found a reference remotely connecting an ancestor to Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick. And this novel of course makes me think of that magical island of Nantucket. One of the daughters of Isaac Morrill, my 9th Great Grandfather, married a Folger and Mary Morrill Folger is mentioned in the novel.
Another Coat of Arms – I am struck by the simple artistry of this one. Elegant.
Lundy Coat of Arms Another strong image in red and yellow to add to my “collection”. Sir John Lundy was my 15th Great Grandfather.
