Obviously not my pic...it's from google maps of the dam...an incredible structure.

Hey, Annie, I have been there quite often. My daughter does her tri swimming practice there.

At Home Depot yesterday....

The neighborhood men enjoying their annual leaf burning party. I will be hearing about all the stories/gossip that was exchanged between them for weeks. It was an 11 hour 'party', so there is lots to retell.

Naomi, is that a wild bird?? Incredible if it is! And very beautiful.

Naomi, how special your friend must feel. I wonder if it had been hand-raised by someone? or just recognizes a kindred spirit in your friend.

Oh wow! I assumed it was a beautiful ornament.

Bridge of Lions, St. Augustine, FL

Interesting diner in Wisconsin. When the owners decided to sell, the employees got together and bought it. The prices are a bit higher, but they do not allow tipping and make it clear that they are all paid a living wage. Food was wonderful as was the service.
