This is Ponder, Tx. Yes just about the only thing there. We were told about this place to eat (road trip) that was out in the country. So we decided to fined it. It opened in 1948 and has been in same spot ever since. I had Quail for lunch Sonny had the special. Which was roasted pork and 3 vegetables. We got desert which is all homemade. Pies and Cobblers. When we went to pay the owned ask if this was our first time, Sonny told him we came all the way from Alabama to eat here and he gave us our desert free and they make soap and he gave me a bar. So I guess it was worth the trip. I love the sign on the wall 5.00 dollar charge for winning and all unattended children will be sold as slaves, and there is no smoking in the building. All food is prepared as you order. Even saw them cut my potato for the home fries that come with your Quail. To get a bake potato you have to call ahead because of the time it takes to cook. No nucking food in this place. All fresh how odd. Hope they don't get into the 21st century.

This is the Courthouse in Denton, Tx. We went to First Baptist Denton on Sunday. Dr. Jeff Williams is the Pastor. On our way back we drove through downtown Denton and this is in the square of the town.
I have no clue who Brad Paisley is but have friends who do . This is right in front of the office at the RV Park where we are staying. They needed a place to park this thing while Brad was in Nashville winning awards for something.

Welcome to Texas!!! We are in Denton, Tx and have been here for a week now. As you can see its flat well I guess flat is the word for it, you can see, lets say you are in Birmingham and can see Montgomery, well that's Texas. They have more sky than we do, well every thing here is bigger. We could build 50 houses in the medium of a exit. It take a hour to go anywhere. Let me tell you how big this place is. BIG!!!!!
This is the Motor Speedway where the Race this week end was. We drove over on Friday and the place was packed with Motor Homes. They paid 150.00 for a spot just big enough to sit on and NO hooks ups. That means no electric power and NO POTTY. You have to be self contained to function. So you have to use your own propane, gas, water and holding tanks. What a killing. Why didn't I think of that. A day late and a dollar short.

This is also located in the park. There ase several homes and a school located in the park. This Homestead is open to the public. (for a price) We were to late to get in. Maybe next time. It is beautiful.


The House is behind the dark green trees. You can see the barns, yes many barns behind it.

This is another shot of the shop in the State Park. You can tell I was taken by the pumpkins. This Man was responsible for the restoring of the covered bridge.

The Cuyanoga State Park was only 5 miles up the road from us. We were told about the farmers market that was grandfathered in so they were aloud to stay in the park as a bushiness that is where the pumpkins you saw was . We heard about the covered Bridge and wanted to see it also. We parked and walked out. It is over the Erie canal.

Most of these I would have had trouble picking up. The second picture had some that were a little smaller but not much. The picture doesn't do them justice.

This picture on left is a cute little town that is full of high end shops. If you have to look at the price of something before you buy it this isn't the place for you. You just hand them your credit card and say charge it. Need less to say I didn't even get out of the car. But I loved the brick streets. I left and went to Hudson and the leaves on the side walk were so pretty and had such a feeling of fall I had to get out and take this one


This is coming into the town going over the Erie Canel. There is Flags and Corn Stalks every where. And pumpkins coming out the way zoo. I cant believe how BIG they are .

When we left the Amish Country (Holmes County,the towns of Berlin and Walnut Creek) and was heading back for Streetsboro, we came home on highway 43 that took us through Kent, where Kent University is located. Sonnys Uncle Jim went to School there. This house was there and so typical of the structure and I had to take a picture, it looks haunted to me.

The first picture is a Pre owned Buggy sales lot (how funny). The next is of two Ladies in their open buggy, they had baskets in the back of the buggy, I know it had wonderful food (fried Chicken) and I was so hungry and nothing was open. I thought about a highjack, no not really, well maybe for a moment.


Another buggy, WITH FOOD IM sure. Somebody needs to feed me. Soon!!!!!

Sunday we drove down to the Amish Country. The country side is so pretty. Cant believe I got this family and not a pole in the middle of them. The Lady was so nice and waved at us. Not many are happy to have their picture taken. This family is on their way home from Church. Not but a couple of the shops were open because the Amish believe Sunday is a day of rest and Worship. We saw so many on the road some had baskets of food and going to gathering at someone's home. Seeing the buggy's, several in a driveway was something you don't see everyday.

We are here in Streetsboro KOA. We have been here since Sat. Its now Wednesday and may leave tomorrow for home. Snow is in the forecast and the Guys are wanting to get out of here and go south. I don't see the problem. Just kidding. I took the picture of the tree right out my window. It is just across from our site. The color is getting breath taking with some of the trees. With the freeze coming in they wont have solid color, because these leaves will fall off.

Well we are on our way again to the next stop in Streetsboro, Ohio. We are seeing more and more color. The further north we go.

This is in Lebanon. I made a wrong turn looking for a Vet and turned around in a Church parking lot and as I was getting ready to pull onto on the street this is what I saw. Church , Devil Bug well that is what it look like. All these animals are in the front yard of this house. Don't have a clue as to why. I didn't ask. Thank you very much just took pictures and got out of Dodge!

Wanda these are the flowers that are on the interstate and up here they are everywhere. Sonny stopped and I was able to walk up to these and can you find the Bumble Bee?


As we were getting ready to leave Lebanon on Sat. This is what I saw. The Moon going down at 7:30 in the morning. It was so pretty. Its called the Harvest Moon. (Im so smart). lol

When we got to the Campground at Lebanon, Ohio, that is North East of Cincinnati on I-71, This is what we had going over. This week is what they call Tall Stacks. All the Steamboats from all over are docked in Cincinnati. Sorry to say we didn't get there.

Thank God the last Tunnel!!!

We have finally made it to Ohio.

We are seeing more and more color.

More sites on our way to Ohio.

This is Richard in front of us. We have walkie talkies so we can talk back and forth, well when I saw this its RICHARD!!!! We made a wrong turn somewhere, we are supposed to be in OHIO not California!!!!

The quality makes me sick. May be you can tell a little bit. The country side was beautiful. If you ever have the opportunity to drive on the Pa turnpike take it.
