Ann's Place

When I am in Minnesota I get to stay with my friend Ann and enjoy her home and park. There is a beautiful park right behind her place and a great place to walk. I am including some pictures of the area.

Minnestoa really is a pretty place

Recently I had the opportunity to be in central Minnesota. I really had forgotten how pretty it is up there. I drove up 169 and back down via Brainerd and St. Cloud. The pictures to follow are some of the landscape and Lake Mille Lacs. Its real green with a lot of lakes. The water tends to be somewhat rust in color due to all of the iron ore.

If you should ever find yourself with some time to enjoy "Gods Country" (for you Minnesotans) drive up to Grand Rapids and over to Duluth. Stay at the Inn on Lake Superior (be sure to get a room on the Lake side). Walk the city front pier, visit Fitgers, have dinner at Grandma's and be sure to be back at the hotel at 8pm for Smores.

Statues of Las Vegas

There are alot of pictures one can take of the Las Vegas strip but I thought I would show some of the statues.

Sarabyn Farm

While in Michigan I visited a friend of mines farm. He has a beautiful little pond on the back of his property......and some chickens.

Gettysburg PA

Battlefields & Cannons on the hillsides

Miles of fences & Regimental Monuments

I thought I would upload some of my pictures from the battlefields of Gettysburg. There is an 18 mile driving tour through the battlefields and monuments, dedicated to the different regiment's from all the states involved in the battles of Gettysburg and the Civil War.

The day we were there, was a beautiful spring day with lots of greens and yellows. The sky was clear and blue. The battles that were fought here 146 years ago can still be imagined by looking at the placements of the cannons, looking down into the Devils Den at Little Round Top where 100's of young men were slaughtered. So many died on this field that the creek ran red with their blood.

I would encourage everyone to spend an afternoon touring this area....and remembering.
