"Expect people to be better than they are, it helps them to become better. But don't be disappointed when they are not; it helps them to keep trying."
- Merry Browne

Last year about this time I took a visit over to the Florence Griswold Museum with my daughters. Spring is just making its way to this part of New England and things are greening up beautifully! Back in the day when it was a boarding house, the artists would gather on the porch for dinner. It is a place I love to visit and one I highly recommend if you are in the CT area.
