I enjoyed this post because it reminds me of my Native American Heritage on my mother's side. On the other side is my Lincoln genealogy. Enjoyed the photos too.<br /><br />Noted you mentioned Panasonic Lumix camera. I use Canon cameras but did have and often used my Panasonic Lumix camera. The sensor went bad in it and then I discovered it is too costly to replace so I am looking forward to the day when I can afford to get one of the new Lumix point and shoot similar to what I had that went bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-14971531842796909372012-12-04T09:28:38.830-05:002012-12-04T09:28:38.830-05:00Ciao Vagabonde,I am very glad to meet you and see ...Ciao Vagabonde,I am very glad to meet you and see your blog, live your walk well stuck with historical information is very pleasant and interesting!<br />Thank you for your kind visit and wish you a smiling day!Sciaradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679604291836078995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-63543273945255204802012-12-03T16:31:54.224-05:002012-12-03T16:31:54.224-05:00I love ruins of old industrial buildings.

What an interesting find... I can see the resemblance. Maybe this is only the beginning of a long and deeper search into your husband's genealogy and family history. As for the scenic park, all the photos are gorgeous. What colours. Well, we're covered with white these couple of days... -13C today can you believe it.

It is dismal and windy here today so a trip with you has really blown the cobwebs away.<br />A shame about the bridge - I love those covered wooden bridges - we don't have anything like them here in the UK. <br />There is is a good likeness isn't there - the same shape of face, brows, nose... You wouldn't really want Jim to shave his beard would you?

C'est très interessant tout ce que tu racontes et je trouve qu'effectivement Jim ressemble un peu à Charlie Soap.<br />J'ai regardé aussi ton post sur le chrysanthèmes. De bien jolies photos. J'aime particulière celles des fleurs de cotons. J'en avais achetés pour faire un bouquet et avec le temps, le coton est devenu tout sale, je l'ai ai jetées et je ne pense jamais à en racheter.<br />Bisesclaudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595176471297895980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-21861651931371887092012-11-29T14:55:18.982-05:002012-11-29T14:55:18.982-05:00A really interesting post with lots of information...A really interesting post with lots of information.

How sad the covered bridge was destroyed - we love them and always scout them out when back in New England where of course they have many still standing.<br /><br />Nice shots of your handsome hubby - and I do love beards although my guy has never had one!!

I was alarmed when I read this:<br />'It would be easy to cross the river by hopping or jumping on the large boulders in the creek, but we decided to just sit and feel the ambiance.'<br />Thank goodness you didn't try that. I have come a cropper by doing the same in younger days.
