We took a little trip to Connecticut to visit Christine and Bob. Saturday evening, we drove to Wilton for dinner at the The Schoolhouse Restaurant . 
The Cannondale Schoolhouse was built in 1872. In 1978, June Havoc, movie, TV and stage actress, and sister of notorious stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, bought the Schoolhouse from the town of Wilton for $1.00 in an auction. She promised to use it for commercial rather than residential purposes as well as to restore it to its original state and allow public access. She converted the building to a restaurant. Chef Tim LaBant had been running his own catering business when the Schoolhouse space became available for lease in 2006.
Monday, was Veteren's Day. 
Christine didn't have to go to work. She and Bob are enjoy reading the morning papers. To the right is Lloyd with the extra long tail. His brother, Floyd, spent our visit under the oil tank - the 'fraidy kitty. Shadow, the big gray ball of fluff, was around for food and for 'loves'.
We took a trip to West Point 
The museum had four floors of historic army warfare memorabilia.
We took the scenic route back to the Westchester County Airport, driving along the Hudson River and crossing the Bear Mountain Bridge. We stopped at an overlook. 
During our visit, the high temperatures during the day reached the mid-forties. We returned to Dayton to temperatures in the low sixties. Wow! Can it be mid-November?
