Thank you for e mail Sue, so glad the worst is over for this time, take care Peggy |

Diana - MA is one of my favorite states - especially the historical stuff. And the buildings in Salem and that whole country around there are America's "antiquities" lol. Thanks! |

POE is the only website that I've ever sent any photos too, but I've been out in the field for work the last few days and I took some photos and opened an account on photobucket and uploaded them just for you. LOL. These are a few shots of the mountains just to the northeast of Phoenix, the Apache Trail which runs thru the Salt River Canyon, and Apache Lake. Hope the link works. If it doesn't, POE, please feel free to delete the posting. http://s536.photobucket.com/albums/ff328/ruthyg_photos/

I was thinking of all of you whilst I was traveling (LOL) and wishing you could have been there to enjoy the dramatic scenery. A couple of the shots are at the very top of the trail at Theodore Roosevelt Dam. One of the photos shows the dam, but in the other you can't see the dam because it was raining so hard. It was a glorious rain storm. |

Krissy, you sound so much like my daughter, one of the very first words that she ever said was "Horsey " and has been involved with them ever since. |

Thanks for sharing! Also, you are correct about the "antiquities" of New England; The House of Seven Gables was built in 1668, and is the oldest surviving 17th century wooden mansion in New England. Not to mention being one of the most fabled houses in the country. At one point in it's history it was owned by Susanna Ingersoll, cousin to Nathaniel Hawthorn. Hawthorn was so entralled by the house that he wrote a fictional novel based in the house, called The House of Seven Gables. The house even has a "secret" staircase! Of course compared to the age of the buildings in England it's a mere infant! |
