So I'm now in Litchfield with Rufus & Cathy. I got here last night, and although my Garmin took me around all kinds of everywhere that wasn't right. In the end, I used it more as a map and found my own way (I can get to their house from the museum, so I just followed some signs). I'm going to have to sit down with the thing: I think it bumps things in the car and then sets all kinds of new routes or just resets itself. Hmm.
So yesterday, Jess & I went around Historic Deerfield. Not all of the places, just a quick tour, which was fun. It's a cute town, really just a couple of streets with old (OLD) houses on them, I'd say a third or so of them are museum property. I could be wrong: I'm sure I'll more about it soon. Anyway. I didn't take any pictures, I'm sure I'll have a bunch soon.
Rufus & Cathy took me down to Mystic Seaport today, it was great fun. I've never been before, and enjoyed it. Got some postcards and a book (Seaafaring Women about, guess what, seafaring women; I'm really excited about it, although my book pile rose dramatically these past couple of days.

We also went to Ikea, I'd never been to one before. Mind is somewhat boggled by the experience: it was huge. Madness. I had fun playing Pinterest in my head with which furniture and knick knacks and decoration things that would be fun in the future. Not that the blue hand chair won't always be with me, but it will get lonely. HA.
Kind of tired to write much tonight, but I am determined to get a little something said as often as I can, so here's this.
Pictures soon, promise.
