We're in a very nice KOA just across the road from Lake Erie where a regional park is located. Great for morning walks!
If you don't work for Welch's in Westfield, NY you don't have a job!This is Concord Grape central and this elephant says it's so. Don't know if he's an albino or just sun bleached but he's very large and carrys two barrels but doesn't budge an inch. Definately an eye catcher in the 100's of acres of grapes growing in the region of Westfield where Welch's has a huge processing plant. Check out the sky, major rain 1 hour later. The saying here is "if you don't like the weather now, wait 10 minutes and it will change". So far all the towns we've been in are vintage 1800 and the architecture reflects the same. Some in need of major renovation and many already are pristene and tempting.
Another days jaunt took us to Jamestown where Lucille Ball was born and raised. They had a museum dedicated to Lucy and Desi's memory where this television set is located. I'm sure many of you remember the Vitamea????? commercial! The life history of each, together and seperated was tastefully displayed. Sets from CA and NY, costumes used and family photos as well as displays of the Mertz's.
It was fun to listen to her friends' description of Lucy as a kid, they're not much different than her character in the show, always a clown!
This dress was worn on Lucy's last appearance on the Carol Burnett Show. It's hard to leave here without a grin from ear to ear!.............................and the journey continues
