Carriage Ride Around Bedford

Each fall I enjoy taking sunset carriage rides along the Rockefeller horse paths in Maine. Now that I have horses on the farm in Bedford, I've begun collecting beautiful antique carriages of my own. This turn-of-the-century Brewster Bronson wagon was previously part of David Rockefeller's collection. Driving the carriage is Stu Thompson, who helps train my horses. Betsy Perreten, who tends the donkeys and horses in the stable each day, is beside him on the right, while family friends are seated in the row behind.

Hi Martha,

A plan I have upcoming is to purchase a wagon per season. A surrey for spring, stagecoach for summer, hay wagon for fall and sleigh for winter will host guests for seasonal rides through my 1764 farm property. The idea has been coined to benefit a chosen project or foundation in 2009.

Until then I have a farm wagon I need to sell. I've been liquidating all assets belonging to my National Cancer Society for Animals, which I wrote you I was transferring to new leadership. This horse wagon has had a public image with the media through the years with NCSA and is now in need of some care and storage.

If you would like to give it a loving home, someone may contact me at 508-285-2525. I also have a '66 Red Mustang convertible which was our parade and signature vehicle. I know your daughter bought you a red and white station wagon of some sort. Interested in the movie industry's sweetheart car?

Enjoy your trots through the leaf shuffles and frost ruffles of the season.

Hi Martha,

My above message of old looks lonely, so I'll take the liberty to add a note --

I have no new horse wagon wagers for you, but I do have a cart load of material, so I've been told by voices on high, that you will have a wonderful laugh and smile at.

I've been assured that you will find it a good read.

Have a fine weekend.

Hi Martha,

Just thought I'd check in and see how you and the two pups are doing.

It's a nice afternoon to enjoy thoughts of good days gone by. The temperate breeze just seems to wash over you with comfort.

We'll be in touch from blog to blog, from envelope to envelope.

Martha, daughter of Martha,

I wasn't sure where to post my reaction to a segment on today's MARTHA.

The commemorative closing which featured your mother was exactly perfect!

The entrance of sound just at the right moment moved us from poignancy to sweet laughter, and then with a sound cut, a fast yank back to our hearts, so very sorry, right along with you -- to have lost the face of your 'once upon a time' mother.

Continuing to think of you -- Andrea and the Weimaraners
