Wonderful museum; I love that it lets you take pictures..thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, what great post. That is a museum with some nice stuff.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to tell me about picking up dropped coal along the railroad track to use at home during the depression.
This is my first visit to your blog. How in the world have I missed it? And it looks like you all are neighbors we would love to meet. Buddy has hiked AT (2001) as well as the Long Trail, mts. of NH and Maine, parts of the Pacific Crest Trail, The Whites, The Cascades, and now we drive AT shuttles and put up return hikers in the house. It is wonderful. I am a retired school teacher and Buddy the retired manager of Lexington ABC Store. He still does work part time there and at the Outfitters. My email is on my blog and would love to touch bases with y'all. Oh, and I adore art museums. Your captures of the art works are heavenly. genie
ReplyDeletelovely images- thanks Joe :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these great paintings. Since I can't visit America, I get to see these art work through your blog. Sad to read about the Herrin Massacre where everyone charged was acquitted.
