    Aren't towers majestic? Would like to visit the Grace Baptist Church.

    Was looking for your store fronts?? Did I miss it, or haven't you entered one?

    Well, if you were to visit, then you'd see me there! :)

    I didn't do a sketch this time. Thanks for missing me, though!

    Oh, and you live in a town with architecture. My town is strip malls and big gas stations. Thanks for the pics.

    happygirl ~ it's a little village...most of the buildings are old. It kind of looks like "It's a Wonderful Life" ha.

    Yes, the clock towers are very nice. The bell tower on the Presb. church has working chimes. I can hear it from my yard...very charming!

    Yes, we have a Barney or two.
    The stories are funny the things that they do. Would make a funny tv show just like the first
    Except this one would probably be worse. lol.

    I like how you put the towers in a collage photo. Very quaint village you live in. And there are even walking stick bugs there..what fun.
    I'm glad you and Alex had a good day of shopping. The store looks less quaint...Costco maybe? If it is lucky you...they're hard to find. Alex looks like did well and was helpful.
    Love your jewelry...very creative.
    Hope you're keeping cool...It's like 97 degrees here in Illinois. xo

    I love to look at churches They are and so different and some are extremely beautiful. Even the very simple ones attract you to go inside and see whats up?
    And if by chance you are touched by God, then indeed that place is especially blessed.

    If it looks like "It's a Wonderful Life" I'd love it! It's a great film. I wonder why a courthouse needs a tower? Just to look powerful I guess. No bells inside?

    I love the old architecture and it would be nice to live amongst it. It's amazing that there is still so much of it left in Europe after WW2.

    Betsy - I missed this post while I was on vacation, but am tickled to see it now. I just learned that a kid from our church will be attending Cedarville this fall...oh how I'd love to ride down there with his mom and visit you! It's fun to dream...maybe I'll have to add that to my Bucket list. =) Your photos are always so intriguing.
