Field Stone Farm

Sun. we went to Field Stone Farm near Ware, MA the home of my cousin Jack Soper. We had a very enjoyable afternoon visiting cousins David, Wally, Jack and Ruthie Soper and their families. We enjoyed the home grown all natural beef raised on the farm as well as the Mai-Mai fish that Ruthie's friend Don had brought from Florida. We also had all of the usual picnic side dishes. Field Stone farm is an old New England farm dating back to the 1800's. It consists of a large 3 story house and barn that are connected as one unit. Jack has been restoring the house as closely as he can to it's originality. He has made a lot of progress since we last saw it 7 years ago. He still has one room on the main floor, one room on the second floor and the third floor to do. Due to the poor Verizon broadband reception here I can't get any pictures downloaded.

Sounds like you had a good visit with our Soper cousins. Wish I could have been there. If you come "out east" next year (or in a future year), I hope to join you - and also that you will visit me at the Jersey shore!
