For Christmas our daughter gave us a trip to the Proctor Mansion and Inn. A bed and breakfast located in Wrentham ,Mass .Built in 1861, the Proctor Mansion Inn is a striking example of Second Empire French Victorian architecture. Amazingly preserved and lovingly restored, it provides a glimpse of grandeur from days gone by. One of our favorite Christmas movies was filmed there The Spirit Of Christmas.

From a recent trip to Pensacola Florida.
The train-turned-statue that rests in the median of West Garden Street is Engine No. 1355, also called the Pride of Pensacola. It is an 84-foot long steam locomotive and tender (fuel carrying car).
The engine was built in 1912 by the American Locomotive Company. It stayed in service for the Saint Louis – San Francisco Railway Company (nicknamed The Frisco) until it was retired in 1956.
After more than 40 years of service, the mileage on the antique odometer reads 1,148,534 — the equivalent of traveling around the world 46 times.
In 1957, Frisco Lines donated the engine to the city of Pensacola to stand as a monument to local port and railway history.
A recent visit to Milton Florida and the old brick road constructed in 1921, now a bike and walking trail.
I saw this infographic showing how smartphone cameras have impacted the way people take and view photos. It’s a then-and-now comparison of three simple measures: pictures taken, pictures developed, and pictures looked at.
Instead of taking and cherishing a precious handful of photos, people are accumulating troves of digital images that they may never lay eyes on ever again. Print out those special photos so others can have them years from now.
My Wife took this photo on a trip to Paris last month.
