Living on a pioneer farm was not easy. My friend’s family spent the whole weekend at the Pioneer Farm at Genesee Country Village actually living, dressing, eating, and working like the pioneers did. They had to even make their own beds from ticking and straw. They had to tend to all the animals including this pig. […]

Before leaving Wellsboro, we stopped at the Dunham Department Store. Founded in 1905, Dunham’s is the only department store in Pennsylvania still owned by the original family. The store extends halfway down Main St., but is definitely showing its age. We were afraid to get on the old elevator, but we walked up the stairs to […]

This is set up similar to Genesee Country Museum, where you can walk around and visit different buildings from the 1800’s. I was stationed with some fellow authors at the Warner House, the home […]

Wow! 3/4 of the year is over just like that. The verdict is in for September, and it was not as good as I expected. I met my goal only 17 out of 26 days for a 65% average. On the upside, my average number of steps per day was 10,938, and that’s darn good. […]

While walking in Charlotte yesterday, I stopped to take some pictures of the CSX Swing Bridge. The bridge is scheduled for demolition. One lady I spoke to thought it would be starting in November, and I wanted to make sure I got a picture of it before its demise. This 100+ year old structure had last […]
