Tornadoes are very rare in our part of the country - I don't remember any when I was growing up and only one or so hurricanes. It's going to rain most of this week but partly sunny on the weekend in t ... |

Everything fine in Central New York - though my friend in Marin Co. (Calif) was worried because Auburn seemed to be shown often on her stations - unless they meant Auburn Maine. Missed the earthquake. ... |

Dean,
Just add my recommendation to the Sandra Benjamin book - Seeing Carole's replies brings back memories too.
May I also add a criticism and more books?
First heard Ricbru suggesting this ... |

Had to check my maps to find out where North Blenheim is. So many towns in New York, some with amazing names and histories. That was a terrible accident there. Did your family regret selling the cream ... |

It's interesting that Dairylea was in one borough and not another - unless your other grandparents just did not prefer Dairylea. I think it was based in Syracuse, with bottling plants scattered around ... |

Do either of you remember having Hopalong visit your local plant? I found some articles on Tom Tryniski's Fulton History site (searchable over 10 million local - NY State mostly - newspapers) that lis ... |

With all the food that is thrown out, there should be some way to get it to the needy instead.
Every time I see farmers dumping milk into the street to protest low prices, I say "Why not donate it ... |

Wanted to add some things - in the Burton Holmes book there are two photos of Venice opposite each other. On the left from an upstairs window we see a canal with boats tied up, people and children wal ... |

Many old books in our library, but being culled if they are not taken out - popularity trumps value. This one is entitled Adventures in America 1857- 1900; a pictorial record from Harper's Weekly and ... |

We were panicking when the library was culling their shelves, selling or throwing out ones that had not been taken out in a certain time. Some of the older books still have much to tell us, even if th ... |

Hi Carole...
Nice to get your reply - it's been busy - the librarians wonder where I dig up the books I take out. Usually no one has checked them out for years but this is also a way to make sure t ... |
