Back from Texas!

Last Wednesday afternoon/evening I decided on a spur-of-the-moment to travel to Dallas to be with a whole pack of relatives on my moms side of the family. The were all gathering for a "festivus for the restivus".....I had a great time, and am thankful to all of them for letting an "outsider" join in the party.

Okay all you old Sharonite's out there around the country......here's one for you...

Sharon Town Hall

The lights are on in the offices, so the employees must be all at their assignments, keeping Sharon running......

The wreaths and greenery all add a nice touch during this holiday time.

Twisted!

Mitcheltown Bridge work finally begins...

Safety was of great importance when the Selectmen closed the Mitcheltown Road to thru traffic a number of years ago now, as the bridge was deemed not safe for travel. After a great deal of "discussions" with neighboring property owners, work which has been basically stalemated has begun.

 I live on the other side of town, so the road really didn't affect my traveling much, but I am sure those who live near-bye will indeed appreciate getting the road open again. I also understand how the owner of the major property adjoining it must have certainly enjoyed not having a cars going thru. The family owns much land in the area, on both sides of the road, and making it private must have indeed been nice, for sure. But, the road was there long before any of us came to be, and the town voted to not "sell" it to the family, so therefore it needs to be fixed. Enough time has gone by. Onward!
