Built in 1774, the Ford Mansion served as George Washington’s headquarters in Morristown, New Jersey from December 1779 to June 1780 during the American Revolutionary War. Washington’s army was stationed at Jockey Hollow, five miles south. Its proximity allowed General Washington to keep apprised of activities in the American capital…
As I explain in “My Son Is A Beaky Eater”, Piper showing any interest in human food is rare. We never have cereal in the house but a recent three-week long bout of bronchitis for both myself and my husband had us looking for something we could have without much…

I once again have led my long-suffering husband to new treasures along the highways and byways of this great country. I never tell the poor man where we are going, I navigate us to the address, telling him to be on the lookout for anything “unusual.” Mister Rain is not…
