My World - Fall is here!

Marianne and I went to Frederick's Oktoberfest. We also wandered through the downtown streets where halloween was the theme for the city's First Saturday celebration. On Sunday I visited the Rose Hill Fall Festival. Next weekend Thurmont holds its Colorfest, with hundreds of artists and craftsmen exhibiting (and selling) their work. Other posts of these events: Oktoberfest in frederick.


Downtown was decorated for halloween on First Saturday and we had a delightful dinner by Carroll Creek as the sun set.

Activities for kids and demonstrations of old farm equipment at Rose Hill.

PhotoHunt - Old fashion letters

We don't get many letters the old fashion way (pen and paper and a stamp) these days. The postcard was written by Mom on a trip to Maine in 1984 and the letter from Dad had some photos taken at a family reunion in 1996. Mom wrote a fair number of letters, Dad wrote fewer. And I admit I do not write many. I have a few of theirs that I saved.

Sky Watch - Foggy morning

Last Friday began with morning fog. A little before 8 AM, it began to clear, letting the rest of our nearby world appear.
