April 29th 2023: Hunting for Sheep in the Webster Area

 Today, after getting a Bacon Ranch Chicken Cheese Steak (Applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, white American cheese and ranch dressing)


from the Jersey Mike's Subs location in Westborough, we decided to go on a hunt for Slater's Sheep in the Webster area, starting out with the Oxford Public Library in Oxford,


then Webster,

Fire Department

Police Department

Gladys E. Kelly Library




where there were several sheep in town,

Fire Department

Aubuchon Hardware

Webster Five Bank

Webster First Bank

Police Department

Town Hall #1

Town Hall #2

Gladys E. Kelly Library





including the Samuel Slater Experience museum,



which is a pretty well presented history museum I must say.











Finally, 2 more sheep in Dudley,
Boys & Girls Club of Webster - Dudley

Marty's Liquors
before we called it a day. Apparently I might have missed one at Christopher Heights in Webster. Guess I'll have to come back again some day. Pity there is no map of the sheep available like there was for the hearts in Framingham.

August 13th 2019: Thai Lemongrass, Webster

Today, we decided to have dinner at Thai Lemongrass, a Thai place in the town of Webster. Decent decor, Americanized Thai food on the menu.
We got the Ladna (wide steamed rice noodles with eggs, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, carrots and baby corn in a savory dark house sauce),
which came with a House Salad,
and the Ram Lon Song (chicken satay served over steamed vegetables with rich, creamy peanut sauce).
The noodles were not bad, the salad a tad salty, and the chicken bland without the sauce. Don't think I'm coming back.

December 27th 2016: A Day in Burrillville RI

My day started off with a Maple Donut from N and J Donuts, a diner in the town of Oxford,

And then it was off to Burrillville RI for most of the day,  passing by Webster
Holy Trinity Church
Along the way.

In Burrillville, I started off with a hike at the George Washington Wildlife Management Area, where the path I took to find Underwoods Pond is shown below in pink.

As the path straight to the pond passed through a farm, I initially could not find it and had to walk the long way from the north to find the pond,

and realize my mistake later as I walked back to my car.

From here I visited several other places in town.
Wilson Reservoir, 412 Wallum Lake Road
Ross Pond, 141 Old Wallum Lake Road
Bridgeton School
Church of the Beloved
Pascoag Community Baptist Church
St. Joseph Catholic Church
New Hope Baptist Church
Pascoag Reservoir, 241 Reservoir Road
St. Patrick's Cemetery Chapel of the Resurrection,
425 Pascoag Main Street
Berean Baptist Church
Town Hall, 105 Harrisville Main Street
St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church
Harrisville Post Office
First Universalist Church
Town Common,
East Avenue and Harrisville Main Street
Assembly Theatre
Clock Tower Apartments
Stillwater Mill Center Pavilion,
75 Tinkham Lane 
Spring Lake Beach
Firefighters Memorial Park,
Callahan School Street and Sherman Farm Road
Little Round Top Pond, 470 Brook Road
Round Top Pond

Some places of note was the waterfalls at Freedom Park

And White Mill Park.

Soon, it was time to head back,  and I decided to get Chinese takeout from Hot Wok in Douglas, getting the usual General Tso's Chicken lunch Combo,  consisting of Pork Fried Rice, Beef Teriyaki and Crab Rangoons.

The Chicken was actually very Crispy and not soggy with sauce,  yet flavorful. The sides were not bad too,  although the Rice had onions.

The day ended with dinner at Red Robin in Millbury, getting the Billion Dollar Baby (black Angus Beef on a  toasted ciabbata Bun,  topped with peppered bacon, a golden Fried Potato cake, creamy, truffle Flavored cheese blend, melted fontina cheese, mayo, Shredded lettuce and grilled tomatoes).

One of the more expensive Burgers on the menu,  but the least tasty of the burgers I have had here. Still working toward that free Burger though.
