Greetings!
At Home
You Just Never Know What You're Going To Find
Greetings!
Play Ball!
If its April, its baseball time. MLB starts April 3 with last season's World Series teams Mets and Royals matching up. Experts believe these teams will once again battle in October. Also, look for some fun baseball trivia throughout the newsletter. And we all know baseball is all about nostalgia. This month we feature Newport, Rhode Island as our day trip destination. The perfect time for the visit may be its Restaurant Week. Keeping it closer to home, New Haven has its Restaurant Week, April 3-8 where a prix fixe lunch is only $20.16. The Connecticut Historical Society is featuring an exhibit of Hartford's own Beatrice Auerbach, better known as the department store matriarch of the G.Fox & Company. And speaking of home, many of us homeowners will be closing out the mild winter tending to our lawns and gardens. April is plant a tree month. If you have young children in school, you'll soon be reminded of our environment. So plant a tree with them. To a joyous April - Aiello
