In loving, living memory, John Melançon 1928 – 2007
So the mansion is now mostly restored! Lights on and all. I can't believe it.
M and I explored by flashlight the gardens and especially the area with all the contoured paths and seats and structures and the little crafted ponds with some large frogs.
I didn't notice which towns each police car came from but I bet it was one each from Wellesley, Natick, and Dover.
After two passed right by us on our way out the third one stopped.
"Did you hear loud music coming from anywhere around here?"
"Yes, we think there's a wedding party in the function hall up here."
Moral of the story: explore (or rob banks or anything else) when there is loud music nearby.
