This vacation  was  the  first  time  I had visited  the  6  states  of New England. I flew into Hartford, Connecticut and drove to my conference in Albany, NY.  After the conference, I took the northern route through Vermont and New Hampshire.  Unfortunately,  the weather was misty and overcast, so not very picturesque for photos,  however the Green Mountains   in  Vermont  in  bright,   yellow  foliage  was  indeed  very impressive. Then,  on over  to the  more  gentle,  rolling  hills  of  New Hampshire and through Concord the state capital. I wound up staying in Portsmouth, NH  and drove over to  York Harbor,  Maine for dinner. Giving me a total of three new states that I can say I've been to. Maine is very green, and more mountainous and fir covered the further north you go. The next morning,  traveled south to Boston,  Massachusetts. Went through the famed "Big Dig" tunnel system.  Lost Google Maps, but  was found  once I  traveled  through!  Went to JFK Library  on the banks of Massachusetts Bay. Always enjoy history, particularly recent events. Very impressive. Continued on to the very small, but beautiful state of Rhode Island. Completing my circle, back to Hartford, CT to fly home.  It  was a very  enjoyable  drive,  most  of  the  time not  on  the interstate highway,  so there was always  something new to see.  God sure  made  this country  diverse and beautiful.  A little weary from my travels, was glad to get home to good old Ohio.

Made my first trip to New England this week and my annual pilgrimage to see Joyce Meyer.  Although  I was  only able to attend two out of the four sessions,  it was still  a blessing!  Joyce spoke on  Psalm 23.  Going  into great detail  about what it  means to  be a sheep,  none of  which is  very flattering,  and continuing on to  explain the need  for a Shepherd.  It was very enlightening, and of course, Joyce was very relatable as she taught the Word  of God.  Music was by Passion,  a youthful worship band from the Atlanta,  Georgia area.  Albany  is a small city  in upstate  New  York, nestled in the lushness of forests and hills and was at peak fall foliage, so quite beautiful to see.

THE GENTLE GIANT DON WILLIAMS IN CLEVELAND

Last night,  I  caught  up  with  country  music  icon Don Williams  at the  beautiful  Ohio  Theater  in  Cleveland, Ohio. Williams' hit making  days were primarily mid 70s through the late 80s. Though nursing a bit of a cold, the "gentle giant" gently rolled through 75 minutes worth of wonderfully nostalgic music! Since Don is not noted for talking, it allowed  the  music to  take  center  stage  all evening.  Running  through  such  classics  as,  "Tulsa Time",  "Good Ole Boys Like Me"  and  "Some  Broken Hearts Never Mend" the biggest applause came after "I Believe in You",  "Lord, I Hope  This Day is Good"  and "You're My Best Friend", the latter in which he invited the audience  to take the lead on the chorus.  Backed  by a very tight  and talented  6 piece band,  Williams'  magic charmed the crowd and left me very, very pleased!
