Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Wheeled horse versus wheel chair  ;D

Show more vehicle please!

Hello Bubble,  think you better stay with the wheel chair!  Great photo

Was unable to get a full view of the auto from old movies.  This is my son at the door of our 1950 Dodge.  That was the car I left on my honeymoon June 2 1956.  Today is 62 years.  Lost Shirley almost 20 years ago, but still wear the ring and carry the good memories.

Unusual ones, Angel. Those shopping carts could also count as  :2funny:

do you wish to continue the same topic, or proposing a change?

Jack, interesting about June 2, 1956 - my oldest nephew, now deceased, was born on that date.

This didn't quite come out the way I hoped but I was trying to convey the images of the tractors and the wagon on which the goods were transported.

Took this today.  Oglebay has several small buses that look like trollies.  They take the guests in to town or around the park.

Took this photo several years ago at the Charleston Tea Plantation, the only tea plantation in North America.  This was the tour trolley.  Found out about the tea plantation in a mystery book and looked it up on the internet.  It is located on an island close to Charleston, South Carolina.  It was an interesting tour.

Good ones!  Is the Charleston Tea Plantation one still touring?

[size= Yes, it is.  We were there in Oct. 2011 but A friend went last year and they have actually added to the tour some buildings where they show starting plants, etc.  They have a large special harvester that harvests the plants.  This large tractor-like machine was produced special for them and can’t be used at other tea plantations as most tea is grown on hillsides (at least that is what they say on the tour).

I believe these three strollers might count as vehicles.

I'd like to propose a change. How about old, or weathered vintage buildings? It could be a cabin or a shack, a lean-to or a grist mill or covered bridge, millhouse, even an older wall with a faded old-time advertisement.  This cow barn from the thirties would be a good start. It is still in use at a local farm.

Angelface, the video of the farmer plowing looks as if you need some rain.  Is it usually so dry there at this time of year?

This is a "Florida Cracker House".  Photo taken at the Florida State Park in Marion County, Florida.

Unfortunately yes as these photos show in early spring, the snow has melted, the rains are late and little is green yet. The farmer is planting barley for the birds at the refuge because many have come for thousands of miles. For about ten years before 2016, we had little to no snow or summer rain during a decade-long drought.

An earlier photo, (Post #633); shows a firetruck bringing needed water to the refuge.

Interesting photo of the house Jean.  What is a Florida Cracker House?

Jean, I hadn't heard of Cracker other than a slang term for a southerner. I'll have to Google. Is it similar to the bayou houses in Louisiana?

old or weathered building?  Could this qualify?

Bubble, your photo of the Roman Colloseum reminds me of the time I was in Rome while vacationing and a group of men were dressed like Roman soldiers and asking (women tourists especially) to pay them for photographs.  I thought it was a rip off and told a friend I wouldn't do that--and one of the so called Roman soldiers was extremely rude and cursed me in English and Italian!  I guess I should have kept my opinion to myself!

Angel, when we toured the "Cracker Village", one of the attendants said they thought that the name came from the way they cracked the whips.  He demonstrated and it definitely sounded "Crack!"  They were cattlemen and cowboys of Florida. Several of the houses were donated to the village by the families who originally owned them.  According to Florida Cracker history, the first cowboys in the US were in Florida (a little known fact).

Sue, I have a photo of Illy with that Roman soldier!  ;D

Bubble, are you sure that it is old enough and really, open to the air and all?  ::)    ;)


Jean, thank you for that information about the houses. No, I didn't know that about the Cowboys or the whips.

I just found a picture of Los Angeles transportation - rich!

Next request: anything about water, sea, falls, etc.

I am down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh.  This photo is of the "Point" in Pittsburgh.  The fountain is located at the spot two rivers form the beginning of the Ohio River, flowing down south to the left front of the photo.

Beautiful photos of the streetcar, Bubble, and of the Point Jack!

This Springtime photo and the next Spring photo are of the refuge ponds that last only three months of the year before seeping into the ground.
