have you ever had a day where the simpliest things just make the day so great? i'm sure you have and i had one yesterday and wanted to share a bit of it with you....bud had called me in the morning and asked if i wanted to ride with him to brownville to deliver a welder to the crew working there and i said yes it would be just nice to get out and do something diffrent(winter doldrums have set in big time for me) so off we went. i of course brought the camera in hopes of seeing something i could take pictures of (with the new camera) you know like a barn a horse just something....so after we delivered the welder to the guys bud said i know where we can go where you can get some great pictures and so we went over this bridge to the village of brownville and i know it will sound hokey but, it was like we stepped/drove back in time,kinda, cool really! i do enjoy stuff like this tho so maybe that's why it made such an impression on me. first stop was the little spot where they had the meriwether lewis boat docked. you know they guy from "lewis and clark" expedetions? this was that lewis' boat!!

after that was a drive thru this quaint little town. you really feel like it's back in the 1800's when you see settings like this but, then a(rare) vehicle drives by and it's back to reality!lol!

they sell clover honey at this little store or so the sign says. i wonder what kind of business was in this building in the 1800's?
i'm sure this was a grand house in it's day and still is i guess in a way. it is empty now and needs lots of tlc. i'd just love to go in and look around, and "if walls could talk" (hgtv) ! ;)

this is the sign in the yard by this house. wonder if the 2nd means second generation nace family or what?

i bet this was a beauty in it's day. so sad to see homes like this and naturally it makes me wonder about what kind of people lived here etc.

well, that's the end of the tour for now. ;) hope i didn't bore you too much.have a nice day!!
