If you still have your 1967 ticket stub, and somehow that would not surprise me LOL, you should save it for a future 'Antiques Roadshow.' 🍁Janet Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754470262654502312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-60980075943126694462015-09-23T12:08:26.639-04:002015-09-23T12:08:26.639-04:00Oh my.

As for Pickety Place, I found out about it from Christie, whom I follow on Facebook. Speaking of Scarborough Fair, Simon & Garfunkel are who introduced me to the song first in the 60's. Ken and I saw them in Valparaiso University's basketball gymnasium in 1967 for $2. Can you believe that?!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-63496457387510009462015-09-22T13:20:28.830-04:002015-09-22T13:20:28.830-04:00How do you find these great places, Cathy? I mean,...How do you find these great places, Cathy? I mean, these days I know we can Google for virtually anything and up it pops in 2.3 seconds or whatever. But I know you were finding and visiting interesting, off-the-beaten-path spots long before the Internet came along - how did you do it? You probably just kept notes of things you saw on your other travels, things you wanted to be sure to go back to. Well, however you did it, you're very good at it. Great photos as always - obviously there was no drought in New Hampshire this Summer. Just like us - everything was green all along. I love that because that means the complex where I love doesn't activate their in-ground sprinkler system, and I don't have a water-spotted car all Summer long. Loved the long videos today too - especially with "Scarborough Fair" which has been a favorite since the late 60s when I first heard it. And I love that "Pickety Place" has a resident cat. More businesses should do that, with cats OR dogs - if it's practical anyway." I think it brings them good luck and good vibes. PS - at first glance, I thought you'd found a Little Red Riding Hood outfit for Olivia when I saw your first photo. She sure would look adorable in one - and just in time for Halloween! Take care and talk to you soon...💛Janet Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754470262654502312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-36383770424649738722015-09-22T09:07:30.038-04:002015-09-22T09:07:30.038-04:00A delightful post!

I shied away from reading this to the grandchildren, but I like your take on the lesson in it!

I love the little girl in Jones' rendition. On the back roads i Vermont my GPS had me turning left, then turning around and going in the opposite direction (which was the correct way). I always look at a paper map first, but it's hard for me to keep track, while driving, when there are too many turns.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103364860587388726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-6177500393415120392015-09-22T08:40:11.392-04:002015-09-22T08:40:11.392-04:00I've always wanted to go here- hopefully I wil...I've always wanted to go here- hopefully I will someday!!

I have recently started, but put down again in favour of a lighter read, "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés and I'm sure you will know this book. Maybe it is time to pick it up again.<br />I loved the illustrations of Little Red Riding Hood. I think it is the intensity of the colours that drew me in especially. Dark, deep colours for a dark, deep tale of warning Red Red Red!<br />You would not want to use your Sat Nav here! Someone did a test of hers and had to stop before being directed 600 yards into the ocean before making a left hand turn down Ramsey Sound!

I remember buying an old book when I was pregnant with my first child. As I began reading these tales to my unborn child I had to pause and choose another children's book to read. ♥The Joy of Home with Martha Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912198511168813613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-74995707924708624152015-09-21T18:48:38.220-04:002015-09-21T18:48:38.220-04:00It is isolated.

You have to have a reservation to eat there so they probably only serve lunch when they know they have someone coming.

Pickety Place always appears to be so isolated in the photos I've seen by Christie and others; do they have many visitors at one time, or only the occasional drop-ins? Good luck with the bay tree; I've tried a couple of times to grow them without success.n/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369954553919919919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504150188395321059.post-63923943798930745462015-09-21T16:01:58.397-04:002015-09-21T16:01:58.397-04:00Sarah, do you know if it's still there?
