Visiting William Wordsworth’s Rydal Mount and Wishing Leslie a Happy Birthday

I thought it would be fun to do a “this day in history” photo blog, but it proved to be difficult coming up with something from September 8th that matched photos in my digital collection. The only thing I knew about September 8th is that it’s my friend Leslie’s birthday.

Weekend Window: Flashback Photo Blog of Madison’s Walnut St. Fire Co. No. 4

Missing Madison again today. Thought I would share some photos of visiting the firehouse of Walnut Street Fire Company No. 4 in Madison, Indiana. Jack Bird took us there during a nice tour of the surrounding towns and parts of Madison.

Always having fun with this little camera of mine, I snapped a few photos for my readers at the Madison, Indiana fireworks during Regatta weekend.

Weekend Window: Bed Racing in Madison, Indiana

I was asked why I don’t blog on weekends. It’s because I need a break. I need to see some things, do some things, think about some things for material next week and most importantly, spend time with Kurt. But I thought of a compromise. Instead of my usual daily essay drafts, I can give … More Weekend Window: Bed Racing in Madison, Indiana
