momma dove on her nest
I thought these were blue-jays, but now, I think they are robbins.

TODAY ON THE MAIL ROUTE....

FOR THE BIRDS!

We have four nests this year. These Robin eggs were freshly laid. They are still wet!

You can barley see these Dove eggs. They are big and white. I just couldn't get a good angle on them. You know how it is, trying to hang on to a camera and a step-ladder.

This nest was way up in the tree. I think it is a baby robin.

Baby Blue-Jays.

Zanesville Today

2nd trip inside Roseville Prison

Rebecca and Emma were originally looking forward to this visit of the Old Roseville Prison. Rebecca got a case of "cold feet" on the way there. She was so worried about getting caught. I told her we would leave if someone asked us to. Emma reminded her that there were not enough "no trespassing" signs to keep US out! Rebecca was scared to death once we got in there. She didn't like the creaking of the building and all the dark places.

Kelly------Recognize this chair? We saw it hooked together with three other chairs on the 4th floor. Someone threw this one out the window.

Town fools.

BRIDGE AT RT.40 AND HOPEWELL NATIONAL ROAD

We believe this bridge was rebuilt after the flood of 1912-1913. It is located west of Zanesville. Probably part of the Old National Road.

A BOOK OF EPITAPHS BY RAYMOND BROWN

Backchat from Hereford Churchyard:

Grieve not for me, my husband dear, I am not dead but sleeping here, with patience wait, prepare to die, and in short time you'll come to I.

To which the husband carved below:
I am not grieved, my dearest wife, sleep on, I've got another wife. Therefore I cannot come to thee, for I must go and live with she.
A pauper's grave:
Poorly lived, and poorly died, poorly buried, and no one cried.

Alone at last:

Here snug in her grave my wife doth lie, Now she's at rest, and so am I!

OLD DRIVE-IN MOVIE THEATER IN NEW LEXINGTON OHIO

The old Skyline Theater in New Lex. The roof was caving in and the place was a total mess. There were reels of old movings laying around in mud and strung out all over the place. Nobody even offered us popcorn or a milkshake.
