Ok I have to jump in here because even though I'm not from Central MA my DH is! He grew up in Grafton.
And when I was in college in Boston I dated a guy from Holden - Anthony Finnachio.
Julie do you know him? I had to ask
Oh and Opus, are you thinking of the Salem Cross Inn?
It's out near Spencer. DH and I looked at it for our wedding reception but since we were getting married in Grafton at St. Mary's we went with the Asa Waters Mansion in Millbury. It's a beautiful old home and we had a beautiful reception.
Poolside - it's funny that you are a New Englander at heart and are now in the south. I actually grew up all over the south but my parents longed to move to New England. Right after High School my dad was offered a job with Perini working on the Big Dig. We moved here in '91 and my sister and I attended college in Boston (she at Simmons and I at Pine Manor). My parents bought an old historical home in Medway and we've been up here ever since. I love it but sometimes miss the south. I go back occasionally to visit friends. I'm actually going to Savannah in March for a girls spa weekend with some friends from High School.
Ok now that I've given my life story I'll say bye for now. I'm so glad to find some locals who are going or have gone through this process. Hope to see some of you at the conference in April.
