Kae and I went to the Montague Bookmill in Montague, MA with some friends last weekend. The Bookmill is a used Bookstore and cafe in an old mill. According to the Bookmill's website:
"The Montague Bookmill is a used bookstore housed in an 1842 gristmill, set on the banks of the Sawmill River, a few miles north of Northampton and Amherst, Massachusetts. The original building was built on the banks of the Sawmill River in 1832. Alvah Stone was the first proprietor and it became known as Stone's Gristmill. Families from Montague would come by horse and buggy to get grain. Whole grain came in from railroad cars and was brought down to the mill to be ground into flour."
Now it's just a nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon. Usually we will pick out a book or two to look at while we're there (most people use it like a library, they read books there or bring their own and study) then get some lunch or a coffee and sit in the cafe and read and look out the window.
There are nice places to sit outside, too, if the weather allows for it, and that day it was pretty sunny, so we walked around for a bit.
We went around back, too, and stood on the porch and looked down at the river:
We had a good time, and want to take you girls there!

Hello Tia Emily and Kae,
ReplyDeleteI had a good day in school. I have homework that I have to do. It is about a turkey in the sky. My mom doesn't know about the turkey because she never saw my homework. ( Mother's note: she means in disguise, not in the sky) On my report card in gym I had a good grade. In art class I do good. I got lot of A's and one B. And Isabel loves you. I love you too Kae and Tia Emily! I will make you both a video tomorrow after church. And I will make one for you today.
