United House Wrecking in Stamford is a great place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon. We were there yesterday and enjoyed walking through the warehouse-sized showrooms looking at all the furniture and reproductions. We bought a set of fireplace tools.

We had a great visit this weekend with my mom and her friend, Faye. The weather turned out to be sunny and crisp instead of cold and rainy, so we got lucky. They left early this morning to drive back to the airport in Hartford.

There's ice on the windshield this morning, for the first time this fall.
