My sister and I took our kids to Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts $on Saturday. This is a wonderful outdoor history museum depicting life in a New England village in th 1830s, a time when this region was moving out of a purely agrarian lifestyle into a commercial one. At the same time some folks around here were scraping a living out of the earth, they were also sending missionaries to the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and starting to play a key role in international trade. With three young kids who are cold and curious and therefore moving quickly to see it all and stay warm, taking photos was a challenge. So was dealing with what I saw through my polarized eyeglasses! It was a great day.
