A THATS MY WORLD TUESDAY POST. CLICK ON THIS LINK AND DISCOVER THE WORLD.

On our recent “wandering” road trip to FORT MYERS, FLORIDA Linda and I had the opportunity to tour the Edison/Ford winter estates. We started with a little chat with Mrs. Edison.

Now Mrs.. Edison reminded us that her husband was born in Milan,Ohio

so if you are ever in Ohio take the time to stop by his birthplace. Now for a quick picture tour of the estate:

Looks like a nice place to hangout with President Harding,Ford,Firestone, and others. A lot of work coming up with  inventions.    Back to the house:

Next stop office,workshop,and lab:

Edison was quite an angler and living right on the Caloosahatchee river in Fort Myers gave him many opportunities. In the photo below you can see the pier at his estate.

  That is Linda lower right holding onto some Bamboo. I’ve heard it said Edison made his own poles and tackle. If you would like to read about an encounter  Edison had with a shark CLICK. Edison also liked to do some camping.

 I guess you dressed differently to go camping in the 1920s. Being the inventor he was maybe he came up with:

1929 Studebaker RV. You think I’m kidding well read the story HERE.

Ted R. is taking a break so Mr. Gecko from the estate says, “Thanks for stopping by.”

 Also, did you know Thomas Edison has his own NATIONAL PARK.
