Amish Farm in Holmes County, Ohio (10/19). Old house built in 1800's on the left; newer one on the left represents how the Amish live today. Bought their yummy cinnimon rolls, pickles & jam.
Their barn built in the 1800's still houses their horses, pigs, goats, chickens, mules, cats, & sheep.

Our $2 ride was a blast, quite comfy with cushioned seats, with an Amish driver. Posted by Picasa

St. Paul Church in NYC (10/11). The patches below were from Fire/Police depts. that helped after 9/11.
Pictures that hung on the fence of the church after 9/11. Families were trying to find missing relatives.
This depicts where the Twin Towers used to stand in relation to this old church.
This is the front of this 1700 church. On 9/11, this is the location the fire & police men came to rest and be fed. It was right in front of the destruction, but no windows were even blown out. Posted by Picasa
