Betsy and David treated us to an evening of fine open mic performances at the Rindge Meeting House this past Friday.
Earlier, Betsy, Ron and I took a walk to the United Church of Jaffrey grounds and then visited the Monadnock Inn, where we met the new innkeeper and the chef, who is a friend of Betsy’s.
On Saturday, we looked for ancestral gravesites at the Meeting House Cemetery in Rindge.
I found the grave of Isaac Wood, Ron’s Minuteman ancestor. It’s also listed in “Find A Grave”, which is good because the photos there are a lot better than mine!
It was cold and windy, so we didn’t stay long. We returned to Jaffrey to say goodbye to the Trimbles and made a stop at the state liquor store for a couple more bottles of a nice white that we’d bought the day before for a hostess gift along with Bailey’s for Cathy and Cindy.
After a bit of floundering (my shotgun mojo was not working), we found the parking lot where we were to meet James.
By luck, we stumbled on The Chatta Box, a surprisingly good Asian restaurant in a nearby strip mall, for dinner.
We enjoyed a fine meal and a lively conversation with James about his academic studies and why he’s pleased with Bridgewater.
Heard from Em, she had a good interview for a receptionist job, and was invited for a second on Tuesday!
Today we did most of the usual: NY Times, transfer station, laundry.
