If you have a photo you would like to share on this post, use the BOX on the right hand menu near the bottom to upload your picture and I will post it here.
NOW presenting my first ever look at:
Talk about barbed wire fencing
Talk about a bad hair day

A Road Less Traveled
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference…………………….

A Family
Since before any of us were born, God planned for us to share our lives together. He knew exactly how our strengths and weaknesses would balance one another and the depth of love, understanding and commitment we would learn to feel. He knew the richness, of our separate characters would developed through hard times and that mutual trust and respect would be born as a result of overcoming the trials together. He knew we would need each other…to hug…to help…to teach…to serve…to love… ………………………………..

As the sun rose to begin the day, I happened to be up and captured this jewel.

The year started off with a bang at my home in Fort Myers Beach, FL. The three of us, Nan, Winston and myself watched the fireworks from our front yard.

Early in the morning we toured a little of Carroll, Iowa and I captured this shot of the restored train station.
Beautifully Restored
A few minutes down the road is the town of Breda, Iowa where I continued to add to my collection of US Post Offices.
Rather boring building
But they did have a very beautiful church and steeple
Majestic
The trip was going just fine so far………….
Potatoes anyone?
Arrived at the Idaho State Line on our way to Painesville,Ohio
