This book is in a display case in our church as part of the 250 th anniversary of the Revolutionary War

More of my life as a librarian's husband. One thing I spent the morning with was the John Adams library, books owned by John Adams (1735-1826) which included Sacred Poetry published by Jeremy Belknap in 1820. It is a volume of the Psalms with Hymns, almost every Hymn thought imaginable. Historian Jeremy Belknap was born here in Boston during 1744 and died in Boston in 1798.
As a book collector, President John Adams did have books from the 16th century. Scott Lord

Beacon Hill from our Church

One of our ministers is leaving today, so I haven't been looking at as much revolutionary war history, but since the dome seen from Park Street was built by Paul Revere, who is buried in the churchyard, I felt like some practice photos. We've known the minister for about a decade. The steeple can be seen from the other side on Boston Common
Books written by ministers at Park Street during its history, which is from 1809, can often be found near Donna's desk. A testemonial is being given at the moment. Scott Lord

The Beacon Hill Tomato Soup Romance

Fifteen years ago, when Donna and I had first began living together-dating I took Donna to lunch at Government Center, Boston. It may sound hearts and flowers, but she wanted tomato soup. It may sound hearts and flowers but I went through the clouds with the thought, "All I want to is to buy you your tomato soup....that's all you want is tomato soup". Today she suprised me after a week of celebrating our anniversary with flowers in the kitchen and a balloon in the living room by ordering tomato soup on Beacon Hill, which reminded me of our first week together. In the photograph you'll notice that we haven't gotten the chance to return the bathroom key yet. Thank you Donna. Scott Lord
