2001 Over the hump
I have always wanted to live where I could hear train whistles of trains coming through. Haven't achieved that yet.
I love train travel, train stations and many of the sights, sounds and smells of them. Gotta hear this, an all-time fave.
No, really!! It's her!! :):)
I held on to my 33s for a long time, but then my turntable broke and couldn’t find another one, so finally sold at a garage sale.
LOL. You’re my kind of guy:)
Just about everyone else has better internet and the U.S. and my service charges extra for “faster speed” which turns out to be the same speed as before. Unless you run a country you’re screwed.
Great idea! Go for it.
i just love old churches, Cardy. So much so that I collect postcards of them. Loved them all, but the tiny church and the round church were so unusual they really stood out. Thanks! :)
LOL~~
Oh yes, VBS!!! Kobe has been in a great VBS all week and will have a program tomorrow night at the church! It is a local Baptist church and not the church where we are members, but he loves it and it is a great fellowship!
Today has been okay weatherwise in Eagle Rock. Just hope it doesn't get any worse. Amy, I am so sorry for your smoke and the horrible fires in the Northern part of the state!! Polly
Waving Good Evening to you DIta, from my recliner here in Eagle Rock. Just got back from visiting granddaughter at UCLA Hospital. Thought I needed to enjoy the thread for a bit!!..
Oh I must open this presentation on my desktop.* on laptop at the moment without a program to open it*...
My grandparents came from England and I am currently doing a geneology study on the family. Churches were so important in Geneology.
Polly
Thank you, Jaycee!
Enjoy! I just couldn’t resist adding to the train theme! :D
Wormley Church, Postcard published by Langsdorff & Co, 1906
Up to the time of the 1883 restoration, the church had been equipped with the old 'horse box' type of pew. Great jealousy existed among the parishioners as to their occupation and mention is made to such disputes in the parish registers.
In 1698 we learn that Samuel Harris had the impertinence to enlarge the pew immediately below that in which Sir Benjamin Maddox, of Fernbeds, usually sat 'without the consent either of the parson or of the churchwardens', and a few years after similar trouble arose over the next adjoining pew occupied by Samuel Croft.
In 1783 Sir Abraham Hume erected a new pew on the south side of the nave '12 or 14 feet square' and appropriated another 'adjoining to the reading desk' to himself and his family.
In 1844 all the pews were painted or stained and the floors and 'pavement' repaired where necessary, but in 1853 it was discovered that they were affected by dry-rot and Mr Smith, an architect, was instructed to arrange for new floors to be laid under the pews.
And sometimes you'll see people waving BEFORE the train goes by.
Hey Luv, I have been of and on the thread all day (in between all the things I had to do). There is something romantic about trains...seems we all have had fun here today!! Good to see you.
Oops...meant ‘off and on’ NOT ‘of and on’... :o)
LOL! No worries!
Glad you’ve been able to peek in ofF and on! ;D
There are some threads like that, but kind of old.
I’m not a dialer-upper; it should be hosted by one who is. But it might help people.
