Oh, and we have one of those plaster casts too. We went there

about a month before Elias got really really sick. He was full

of energy and running around. It was one of the last " good " trips

we took for a long time.

We would definitely be up for Norwalk. It is really close to us, and

it makes a great trip on a cold Saturday or Sunday.

I don't know about the rock quarry, and it is something that

my two little guys would totally love.

We live in Norwalk. Have you been to Stepping Stones Museum? It's a

great place. It might get boring for kids older than 10 or so though.

The aquarium is nice too. You can touch manta rays and starfish. I

don't know about rock quarry either. We often go to NY to visit the

inlaws on Sundays, but if you're planning a Norwalk trip, you can let

us know :-)

Yeah. In 1980-82. I was in college and had no idea what I wanted to do

with my life (who does?) and I volunteered to work in a mission in Ga. At

least that is where they sent me. It was an experience I will never forget.

Coming form the northeast, and from what I now know to be a pretty affluent

area (Long Island, though we were normal working class family) it was a

total shock that someone could pick pecans for a penny a pound and we would

pay $5.00 or more a pound in the store. I had no idea. The shacks, the

fire pits in the living rooms so that people would have heat, the absolutely

horrendous conditions that people are still forced to live in today, right

her in this country, because they have little education and so much

prejudice still exists from when slavery was legal.

Anyway, yes, I lived in Georgia. Parts of it were beautiful. I will never

forget what it was like to lay on the grass at night and stare up at that

sky, watching shooting stars go by just as often as we probably see jets go

by during the day here in CT.
