Abington, Connecticut
Abington is in "the quiet corner" of Connecticut and the whole area is full of wonderful rural scenery. Travel route 44 and jump on route 97 or route 244, either way you'll find peaceful roads and plenty of summer beauty. This general store is a nice stop, with wide plank floors, old style wooden shelves and local milk in reusable glass bottles. If you're wondering, they have brewed coffee and snacks too.

About Me
- Snow Day
- Hi, and welcome to my blog! In my working life I'm a cook, and in my personal life I'm married and have two daughters, plus a Chihuahua named Minnie. I am also a culinary school graduate with a degree in pastry arts. When I have a day off the first thing I think about is getting my camera and hitting the road. I've always loved road trips and I've been carrying a camera since I got a 110 Instamatic for my birthday when I was a kid. So, we get in the car and travel all over seeking out new back roads and new places to visit. At least twice a year we head up to the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont and take in some of the best scenery New England has to offer, and we get to New Hampshire, too. We also do some shorter trips to Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and sometimes even New York state (although it's not in New England) and once in a blue moon, we get to Maine. When I'm not on the road I'm right here at home reading, writing, watching some classic television like Andy Griffith, or Minnie and I are out strolling in the cemeteries enjoying the art and remembering the people.
