I've Moved

I just moved into town and was checking out the sites. It is the central park of East Longmeadow. It’s called Heritage Park. Located on North Main Street across from the Heritage complex office buildings, the pond is quiet oasis amidst the bustle of this bedroom community. It is a great place to sit and have lunch (which is what I did) and enjoy the many geese, ducks and two swans that inhabit (what else) Heritage Pond.



A new Skating shed was being built on my recent visit. They had torn down an old bus stop type shelter on the same spot. This new shed will house a snack bar and have benches and a handicap ramp (a handicap ramp for ice skating??).

There is also a playground for the kids and a little league ball field.

Been away too long.

Sorry, just had to let it out. I know its late, but that felt soooo gooood !

I said I wouldn't rant, but

What a country......................................... 5 million of our older Americans have not signed up yet for their Medicare, Part D, drug plan------they are old and confused. We are not going to grant them an extension. However, 12 million illegal aliens are in our country and we are going to allow them to stay, protest, procreate, receive support monies, attend schools, avoid paying income taxes, have our teachers take 300 hours of ESL (English as a Second Language) training at our expense, etc. WE MUST REALLY DISLIKE OUR OLD PEOPLE. If it upsets you, pass it on, if it doesn't, shame on you.
