If you wondered why you hadn't seen Travis Olivera, lately, it's because he's spending a semester studing at the American College of Dublin! His mother sent me this picture of him with the American Ambassador and President of the college at a recent reception. Travis is a Senior at Utica College where he is majoring in Journalism and was one of the editors of the Tangerine ( the college newspaper that is under the direction of our own Patty Louise.) Before beginning his studies in Dublin, he went to Rome, Milan and Florence for 8 days, thereby gaining 3 credits and, according to his mother, loving every minute of it, "especially the architecture and art work/sculptures."

About the picture of the Osborn Homestead that was in yesterday's post: a blog-reader (whose name I won't use because I havn't asked permission!) wrote to say that,
" it was our first apartment when Ralph and I were married (8/59). We had a 2 bedroom apt. which we heated w/our kerosine cooking stove----our refrigerator stood on 4 legs and the freezer only had room for 2 ice cube trays- our rent was $35.00 a month. At that time it was owned by Chuck Woodhouse (father in-law to Mary Woodhouse) who also owned the liquor store! My lord - I must be old!!!"
(Writer's note: getting old is the best way to get good memories!)

Speaking of historic structures and famous names, the Marshall Historical Society is doing an excellent job of saving and sharing history: web master Lawrence Gilley has just sent me a note saying that he's added a new page to the Society's website about the Gridley Homestead - also remembered as the MacAdam Stock Farm.*********************
Jeff Reynolds sent me these photographs, yesterday, thereby proving that gray days DO, indeed, make good pictures!

I drove up towards Paris, yesterday morning. I'd hoped that the sun would come out and shine on the ice, but - even without the extra glitter, the views were especially nice.
On Sally Road.

Tomorrow is Geno's Birthday - #55!
I'll try and catch up with him and see if he'll Smile for the Camera.
No promises!
But - if it works or if anything else really noteworthy happens - I'll be back later on.
Otherwise,
Have a Good Weekend, Everyone!
