The Ladies
Here are the ladies I hung out with this weekend. It had been a long
time, and it was great to be reunited, if only for 2 and a half days.
This shot was taken in a park just down the street from our cozy home.
Sunday was a beautiful day! We took a walk and enjoyed the sunshine and
blue skies. We made a new neighborhood aquaintance. This man did not
reveal his name eventhough we introduced ourselves, but he told us a
great story.
His house is made of stone, with walls 36 inches thick!! That’s right,
3 FEET! The plot it stands on was purchased from the town of Dunellen
by his father in law when he was a boy of 12. His father in law bought
the land with money he had made in the pig trade of1909 to 1911.
The house was built in 1919 with stone hauled by horse and cart from
local Washington Rock, where our first president watched the movement of
the British troops in spring of 1776. Apparently it stays cool in the
summer, warm in the winter, and has made all of its tenants quite
happy.
