JOANNA FURNACE & THE FALL FESTIVAL

Each year at this time the historic JoAnna Furnace has a Fall Festival that has lots of crafts, exhibits, old cars, apple cider, and old woodworking equipment from long ago. I enjoy going here each year to see what might have changed since the last year. This is the time that the leaves are just

THE OLD FLEETWOOD TRAIN STATION

This is a photo taken off the Internet of what & where the train station was located in my old hometown. Since I lived here in Fleetwood for many years I never really paid any attention to the station until just recently. To me back then it was just some building that was there. Never

IT’S HOT HERE.

For the past 6 days now, the heat has been rather unbearable to stand. Here in South Eastern PA the temp’s have been in the high 90’s. Even 1 or 2 days close to 100. The humidity is up in the 70’s. This is the 1st heat wave we’ve had this summer so far. I

MINER STATUE

2 days ago, I made a little drive back up to the Coal Regions of PA. I go here off & on because of the history that this area has from long ago. Just outside of Minersville stands this bronze statue of a Miner that worked in one of the many Coal Mines that were

BOSTON

For about 2 yrs. now, I’ve always wanted to visit Boston, MA to see for myself all the many historical sites that are there for all to see. Early this year I decided that I’m going to do this. I started looking at places to stay, how to get there, what route to take, and

LOOKS GOOD?

Back in the year 1966 while I was serving in the US Navy, my Destroyer made a Port of Call to Subic Bay in the Philippine Islands. Now, keep in mind this is the very 1st time I have ever been here. I had no idea what this was or what was there. When Liberty

DIAMOND DOTS

With the cold weather of Winter here there is not much for me to do outside because I’m not much of a cold-weather person. So with that in mind, I find something to do inside that keeps me interested. One of them I found out about is doing Diamond Dots. It’s very close to doing

MY MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS

I have noticed on other WP sites that other writers have posted about their Christmas Memories, so I thought I’d join in. The pic above is truly me long ago when I attended grade school in Hamburg, PA. Sorry for the quality of the pic, but it’s a bit old. Now, I have to go
