I feel that August was just yesterday, then when I look at the calendar and see that we are already at the end of October, I just shake my head. The days have passed quickly and we have been consumed with many projects here at Blue Caboose Station. The 1960’s Trunk Camper, the Avion is still in the garage and will be painted in the next week. After that, all the insides get put together.

Unbelievable that our last post was over a year ago. And in that year, many things have happened here at Blue Caboose Station. We jumped head first into doing Brimfield in real life in September of 2021 – it was fantastic. We went back in May 2022 and also had a successful show. Lots and lots of hard work, but we accomplished our goal and did it twice. For now, due to full time job,

April Showers Bring May Flowers A new season here at Blue Caboose Station, spring. A favorite time of year for many, new beginnings and flowers blooming. The Pandemic has slowed many things here in our area of Western Massachusetts but little by little, things are getting better. I had my second vaccine last week and am grateful for that. Bruce will have his this week. Rocky and Sierra continue chasing the squirrels and keep me

January 24, 2021 – More light during the day I know a common theme of my posts is about how fast time if passing. Yesterday my daughter turned 20. I will never forget when I was 17 and my own mother told me how fast time will fly when I am a parent. Her words are so true. And at Blue Caboose Station things are moving at a little brisker pace. More trunks have been

January 2021 – A New Year Yes, it definitely has been a few months since our last post. Here at Blue Caboose Station we are thankful our family has stayed healthy. COVID certainly has put a damper on many of our activities, but we continue to work on trunks and other various projects. We also have a couple Estate Sales coming up, which we are looking forward to. Folks are pretty patient, and we make

I have to admit this is my favorite time of year, not just because it is my birthday month, but it is Mother Nature in her glory. Fall in New England is a true gift. It is a new painting every day – the colors changing, temperatures changing, life always changing. I was grateful for yesterday’s start to the day – my 56th birthday – going on a walk/run with a dear friend – talking

September 24, 2020 – Fall Update It has been over a month since our last post – where has the time gone? People always say that – and the truth is that a lot has been going on. Last month we hosted a successful estate sale in Greenfield, MA. With COVID, folks adhered to our mask policy and limited number of people in the house at a time. Lots of preparation before the sale, staging,

August 16 – Sierra, Rocky, and Blue Caboose Station Over the past few years, I often have had the thought pop into my head of writing a story book for children about the adventures of Rocky and Sierra and their daily escapades here at Blue Caboose Station. The book would focus on friendship, sharing, playing, and living with humans from the perspective of the dogs. One of these days, I will get to that book,

August 9 – Sandblasting, Textile Boat Shuttles, and Estate Sale On the docket for the week was helping a friend sandblast his pick up – we were delayed a few days, but it all came together yesterday and today. Fun to see the boys working together, getting things done. With sand all over the place, I kept my distance. See the photos of men at work. I love a productive week, and that is what

August 2 – New Month & New Goals Happy that August is here – which means sharing the good news we are officially moved out of our storage space and have all our equipment and tools here at the workshop – Blue Caboose Station. It is a huge relief and major stress reducer now that we can concentrate on setting up shop. This does not happen overnight, as with any short term goals, we find
