music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

Masterpieces of Chinese Export Porcelain: from the Mottahedeh Collection in the Virginia Museum

The Mottahedeh Swan Service is wonderful, you can probably find a picture of it on the internet.  It is discontinued, which makes it valuable to collectors, and very hard to find.  I stumbled on a whole dinner collection in Palm Springs, California years ago, and did not know enough at the time to buy it , because now a coffe pot without the lid goes for over $400 .  What beauty to behold...
