Hubby and I have arrived for the first day of this summer’s Shaker Seminar.  This year it is being hosted for 2 1/2 days at Enfield Shaker Museum and then 2 more days at Canterbury Shaker Village.

For many of us, we get to reunite with old friends and acquaintances; for others who work or research together, it is a place to focus together.  For all of us it is a deep pleasure to spend time listening, engaging in conversation, and joining in the company of others who share your interest.
