Hey Ma, what's for supper?

A note on this old photo indicates it was taken in California. Nice catch of fish but I sure wouldn't want to clean them. Food preparation can be a nasty job when starting from scratch.

New Purol-ETHYL gasoline

Circa 1936

This photo of a town clerk's office and store front is dated January 1936. Not sure where this is located though. Anyone know what town this is? The ad on the side of the building reads New Purol-ETHYL Gasoline. There are more signs on the left but they are difficult to read.

Elmer Hutchings

Elmer Hutchings

Not sure where or when this old photo was taken but the name written on it to identify the man pushing the cart reads Elmer Hutchings. It appears he may be moving some furniture. Check out the horse and buggy in the background. The building looks like a store.

We may have found our missing propane tank after Hurricane Irene swept through the village

On Sunday, August 28, 2011 Hurricane Irene swept through Vermont and caused major flooding. Our little shop is located in the village of Cuttingsville next to a bridge that spans Mill River. We had 4 feet of water in the shop and the large propane tank located on the outside of the building disappeared. A few days ago we began the spring cleanup around the yard and inspected the property. We made a surprising discovery under the bridge. Not sure yet if this is our propane tank but we found one wedged up under the bridge!

The local volunteer fire department was called immediately but they determined the tank was empty and called the energy company. The tank was retrieved 2 days later. The brave firefighters did a fantastic job responding to the call and it was a relief to find out we weren't in any danger. Thanks SVFD! My heroes!

The horse and buggy days

A handsome lady, horse and rig

There is nothing like the sound of a horse walking along a country road...clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop. Not the best way to travel in inclement weather but on a sunny summer day there is nothing like it.
