Our tradition farewell visit to Peets at the start of our Annual Road Trip. This time Rick and Marilyn Beyer were there when we were ready to leave.
After all the planning and preparing it is always liberating to finally be on the road. It is even nicer when the weather gods cooperate with dry roads and bright blue sunny skies. Our first stop was the traditional one at Reins Deli in Vernon, CT for lunch provisions (chopped liver on light rye) and then, speaking of Rye, it was on to Rye, New York for a one hour visit to the Rye Arts Center to view "Irving Harper a Mid-Century Mind at Play". Harper who is still with us at age 98 worked as an industrial designer for Herman Miller and Heywood Wakefield among others. To combat stress he began creating sculptures and 3-dimensional works of art and stopped 40 years later when he had filled up his 3 story farm house. We continued along our way and crossed the Delaware Memorial Bridge before the sun set.
