~~Side Roads~~

St. George's Summer Chapel is a very special little Church
I didn't know about this sweet church in the woods until about 15 years after I have been vacationing in tenants Harbor
or moved to Camden.  I was reading the Camden Harold one Thursday, and saw Father Haig Nargesian's name.  Father Nargesian ( along with Father Willoughby Newton)  had married John and I in Washington, Connecticut about 15 years before and on this day I read that he will be preaching at St. Georges Episcopal Church.   Two wonderful finds on that Thursday morning.  Needless to say, I attended Church and was able to see Fr. Nargesian again.
Sadly, he has since passed away.

To the right is just a really wonderful menu at a sandwich truck.  Grilled cheese sandwiches named after different Grandmothers;  Grammy, Oma, Nana, Gma and Mema. Jan is Oma and I am a Gma!!!
But, no, we did not order those sandwiches.
