    In late February, Emmy and Bill drove out to Branford to look at the house where guests will be staying. The weather was crisp and clear. We looked out over Long Island Sound to the Thimble Islands. The house has five bedrooms, living area, porches, and a lovely beach. Our landlord and host, Bob Alling (pictured below) lives next door. We are the third Colordo family to stay here during recent graduations.
