Did a bit more photo snapping today since our weather here in CT was fabulously warm and sunny! Any photos below can be enlarged with a click!

I spent two hours at the beach this afternoon and as I left, noticed these three empty chairs.

As I drive home from Darien to Norwalk (where I live), I pass a small cemetery in the town of Rowayton. Today I drove into the cemetery grounds, parked my car and started snapping photos.
Here are two photos taken at the cemetery. I like the fall foliage with the flag!



I live quite close to this very large high school in Norwalk; so close that I hear the band playing at the football and other games nearly every night! This "country bumpkin" came from a high school graduating class of about 85 students! A GENEROUS 'guesstimate' would have been about 500 students MAX. in the entire 7-12 grades at good old West Snyder High School! Brien McMahon High School is HUGE! Take a gander at other pics and read about the school's history and demographics....very interesting to compare this city school to Midd-West High School, a school in rural, 'small town' PA where I grew up. *Take note of the average teacher's salary at this school in Norwalk....$89,587.00! Any PA teachers want to move to CT? Although, be advised that Norwalk teachers pay about $1500.00 - $2000.00 AND UP for rent each month for a reasonable home or apartment! Guess it's all relative!

The last photo is of my home. I live in the upstairs apartment. The house was recently painted and new shutters were added. I think they were brown formerly and now are maroon. Anyway, I have a very well maintained home and good landlord. I'm blessed.

I began my day at church and was blessed as a church member shared his personal testimony and reminded us all that God IS who He says He is and He will do what He says He will do! It was a strong message of FAITH.

Tomorrow is another day off work for me...guess I'll celebrate Columbus Day!
