DisneyLand 1963...

I am doing a bit of time travel for my first
Sightseeing Saturday post.

Over the past several weeks several bloggers have brought fond memories to the forefront of my mind.

One lady shared about a trip to DisneyLand and how the Tikki room was a highlight. But time has changed it and not for the better. From her description I would have to agree.

And another lady, making an apron from her grandmother's pattern, made me think of my own Granny. She made most of our clothes. The shift--1960's--remember those? Granny made one for each of us girls. I'm the one on the left with my older sister and you-know-who in the middle.

Daddy, Mother, Granny, Pam,
ME, yes the bow-legged one ;-)
and cute little Dawn.

Not sure why Granny didn't make
Daddy and Papa a matching shirt.

Not many photos from the days before digital :-(

Post about your travels and share the memories
at Christine's Home and Travel Adventures.

and if you've come over for my Pink post
keep scrollin' and I hope you all have
a wonderful day!

I can't seem to get back into my blogging routine.
These 105 HOT DAYS just sap energy and if
that's not hot enough, seems I have had
one long HOT FLASH all day.

But stop whinin' girlie and get on with
your BLUE MONDAY post.
Three moments from my recent trip
to Weiser, Idaho for the Fiddle Festival.

Our son did Texas proud...Dixie, the devil may have
been in Georgia but 74 bow yeilding fiddlers
showed up and that was just in Samuel's
Jr. division--13 to 17 year olds.
Almost that many in each of the Jr.Jr.s and adult divisions.

His group all played, which took most of the day
and then came the first cut, down to only 15.
He made it! And even though he didn't make the
next cut we were grateful to have made it that far.
He played two wonderful sets and we
were very proud of him.

Weiser ruins and roses.

The whole town was in full bloom for the festival.
Wish I could share the aroma, it was wonderful.
Good thing I wore a blue shirt that day ;-)

Now back to SmilingSally for more...

Home away from home~~~

The Galloway Inn Bed & Breakfast was home away from home on our visit to Weiser, Idaho. We couldn't have picked a more wonderful place. On the National Historic Register, this grand mansion was built in 1900 by Tom Galloway.

For many years she stood as the largest home in Idaho at 5,000 square feet plus a 2,000 sq.ft. attic where Mrs. Galloway hosted lovely dances. The Queen Anne design boasts 18" thick walls and cost a pretty penny to construct--$5,000 which was paid for by the sale of 800 head of horses.

This jewel is on the market as Tom and Dixielee are ready to pass the B&B baton to the next adventurous couple ready to welcome and entertain visitors surrounded by these walls of history. For more info--Galloway House Inn.

Due to recent rains the landscape was in full bloom to
welcome fiddlers from all over the country.

We shared the home with a group from Alaska,
mentoring and teaching native kids about their
culture and rich heritage
using the fiddle as a spring board,
or should I say string board ;-)
Bill Stevens, their teacher,
travels all over the globe sharing
the story of the Athabascan tribe through story and music.

Everyone we met had a story to tell,
all one needs to do is ask.

Will share more later...
you know the duties that await after a trip ;-)
