HIDDEN AWAY!

Back in the middle 50’s when I was growing up in Hamburg, PA the area here that you see did not look anything like it does now. This place is deceiving to the eye. To the left of this Image is the Hamburg Swimming Pool & out of the picture. The Pool is one place

OLD TRACKS

Located outside the small town of Leesport, PA is this railroad that has been here for so long. Once used to haul Coal & other goods via steam train in the past, it is no longer used at all. The tracks just sit there rusting away. The tracks extend all the way into Leesport where

RIDING THE TRAILS

Over the past few days I have been snooping around my area to see all the many different bike trails that are available for us to use. There are so many of them. The one that is the biggest is the Schuylkill River Trail that runs from Pottsville, PA all the way down into Philadelphia.

AFTER IDEA

PINE FOREST TRAIL

2 days ago, the weather was just great so I went to check out another one of the many, many bike trails that are around my area. This one is named The Pine Forest Trail. As you can see one of the trails branches off and the other goes around a Pine Forest. I chose

PAINTING BY NUMBERS

More than 2 months ago I came across a Paint By Numbers site and thought I’d take a look to see what they have. I paged thru many of the different paintings that are offered to buy and paint. They sell the Paint By Numbers canvas, all the colors you need, and the brushes that

OUT FOR THE RIDE

Since I have gotten a new bike to ride, I’ve been out there using it as much as my ole’ body will allow. I’m getting more & more used to it and how nice & smooth it works. I’m learning to use the 21 different speeds that it has and when to use them. The
