P.S.!!!

current mood: PS PS PS
I can't believe this every two week LJ poster is doing this...posting twice in a few hours. But here's the scoop. I read on Cindy's blog that this is the last day of our week long tour of where we live...and I've been saving the last spot for this....so here goes...
This is the Town Office of Appleton...but it used to be Appleton High School where my husband attended. I took the photo on my way to our 4th fun yesterday. He told me that there was a lab somewhere tucked in there where they used to conjure up lots of good stuff-that's scary!!! ..and after that it was Appleton School that my kids went to for all their school days until 8th grade-no lab then, just the 4 large classrooms where each teacher taught 4 grades. Now our town hall...
And this interesting black and white hangs on my kitchen wall and at the town hall...it's an enlargement of a postcard dated 1906 (I also have a postcard). I've told you that I live in an old house...well that's mine in the upper right hand corner..the barn and out buildings are gone, but the small windows in the attic still line across there. Where the barn was, there's a drop off and the garden is "down" below in back of the old barn cellar rock wall. That's why I always say that I've been down in the garden...and in the foreground everthing is gone but a few old rock cellar holes...if you can imagine or pick out, there's the river on the right of the road...not that much water in it now...and a stave mill on the left. there are piles of wood there...stave mill??? for wooden barrel making! People hound e-bay these for the postcards that a local man went around taking...in early 1900's!
and this one is my very favorite of my hometown...really it's what it is....
We live on the extreme west end of the town where we now have the only store in town...(there used to be two others when this one didn't exsist!) don't do much shopping there, but they have all the essentials for when I'm in a pinch, gas, pizza oven,and hunting and fishing licenses...and much much more or less!
So that's it folks...my hometown...really where I live!

tiny fish. Anyone know what they might be? They usually can identify everything here, but this was a new find. So the beauty of low tide and the gifts from the sea is today's entry. (must have been too cold for starfish and bigger crabs...but they'll come) T and I talked about how much those of you that don't have access to the sea are missing (with great compassion, I might add)
