I'm still working on my next destination. There is so much to see and do in this area I don't know which way to turn next to enjoy the good life.
It is always amazing how the early settlers lived and overcame obstacles that today is not even thought of as a way of Enjoying the Good Life. Be Safe.

DeleteGlad they had a tribute to that all around pioneer woman. Back in the day all the credit went mostly to the males even though women worked just as hard or harder than the men.
ReplyDeleteI think that's finally sinking in.
DeleteI'm sure you will come up with something great. Love the pictures.
