Chair's Still on the Porch!!


I cant believe the Chair is still there. When we saw this place we knew it had to be something special in it's day. Couldn't wait to get home and try and find out the story. And what a story it is. Enjoy it in the next post under this one.


This house was right on the property. It also has a chair on the porch. I figured it must have been the place they cooked the food for the house next door. But the article never mentioned it.

"Shelby Hotel Gives Glimpse of the Past"


I don't know any thing about the little house next door, but bet it had some thing to do with the Hotel. This web site I have posted is so interesting. I will say again You never know what you will see around the bend. This was a wonderful find.

Moon on the rise. Regions Park


The moon was so beautiful coming up over the ridge.

We were out for a drive and we were stopped at a Railroad crossing. The Arms went down and the train got there and when the Engine got just across the road it STOPPED. and we sit and sit.
Two got off the train and two got out of the cab all with duffel bags and swapped places. Now we are out in the country not at a Train station. So CSX paid Birmingham Cab company to drive down near Chelsea, Alabama to swap shifts.


Then once they were all swapped the cab drove in front of the truck and went back toward 65. And we sat and sat for he train to get going and it was a looooong train. Something you don't see every day. Train shift change!!!
