Today, our last full day with Aunt Colleen, we drove into the Berkshires to spend a few hours at the Norman Rockwell Museum. Norman Rockwell grew up in New York, but for much of his life he lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. It was interesting to hear about his life. Many of the faces that appear in his paintings are the faces of people who lived in Stockbridge when he lived there.
After taking in the Norman Rockwell Museum, we meandered through the Berkshires back to Granville, Massachusetts, where we stopped for some ice cream. The Gran-Val Scoop, an ice cream shop on an old dairy, is owned by one of the basses I met when I sang with Novi Cantori this spring. The owners of the dairy make their own ice cream. L liked the ice cream, but he was also a fan of the animals there.
