'Grandma' sure has a nice ring to it

I finally met my grandson two weeks ago. It was wonderful! 

Aidan Ralph is real - not just an adorable photo on Facebook messenger. My daughter Allegra sends me photos every day so I can see his progress from afar. 

Son Cameron took the week off from work so we took advantage of the time and visited. Unfortunately sickness and several snowstorms had delayed our trip to Massachusetts.

Aidan was due on Valentine's Day but he decided  to surprise us and make his debut on Christmas Eve. 

I guess he couldn't wait to meet his family! I know we couldn't wait to meet him.

'Turnback Tuesday' highlights Housatonic River, Indian Well in Shelton

 Turnback Tuesday presents this wonderful image of the Housatonic (Ousatonic) River looking north; more importantly, the location of Indian Well State Park in Shelton. 

The flat, grassy looking area to the left before the bend is where Indian Well State Park is located.

The park was established in 1928. It boasted a 15-foot waterfall and deep scenic pool. The area was associated with the Pootatuck or Paugussett Native American Tribes. 

In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed the park with stone walls, a bridge, etc. The park has been enjoyed by families for 98 years.

This image is approximately 4’ x 3’ and hangs upstairs in the hallway of Derby Public Library.

Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
