THIS IS A:: THAT’S MY WORLD TUEDAY POST. Check out the whole world with just a few clicks

SEPTEMBER 18, 19 & 20, 2009 Adults Admission $7.00, FREE PARKING! In the beautiful rolling hills of Ohio near Columbus,Ohio and Lancaster,Ohio. (I know it’s over for this year but this is a yearly event)

Now let’s head over to the Pre-1840 Encampment Area. Where we will meet Pat,Dee,Gus and Linda.

I thought the young woman throwing the tomahawk was pretty cute,but I wasn’t going to get “fresh.”

Gus and Linda invited us to take a look inside their Tipi .Looks pretty comfortable to me.

“Modern tipi covers are usually made of canvas. Contemporary users of tipis include historical reenactors, back-to-the-land devotees, and Native American families attending Powwows or Encampments who wish to preserve and pass on a part of their heritage and tradition.” (thanks wikipedia) I wonder could a little rain come in the top of that Tipi?

My suggestion for lunch would be the homemade vegetable soup in the bread bowl or the barbecued chicken. All cooked over “open fire”

You won’t go away hungry………………………………..

TIME FOR A LITTLE MUSIC and CRAFTS

Love that Bluegrass music, songs about day-to-day life experiences. The bottom two photos feature “Caney Creek”  They will be playing Thursday’s 7Pm to 9Pm at Brenda Sue’s east of Hebron Ohio on Rt. 40 Yee-Haw

(We brought one of those baskets home)

There are so many interesting sights to show so…(47 slides if you have the time a good overview of the entire festival)

I would like for you to meet: Tammy and Dave Stull from Sunbury,Ohio

They have Olive Oil Dips,Veggie Dips.and Dessert Dips. They are Heavenly Dips. My favorite is the Royal Hawaiian. Take the time to stop by their website you won’t be disappointed.

My favorite musician; Tyler is just tuckered out.

Sky Watch Friday in Lancaster,Ohio (a story of Grace)

NEW CHURCH: After the service a young couple talked to a church member about joining the church. He hadn't met the husband before, and he asked what church he was transferring from.After a short hesitation, he replied,"I am transferring from the Municipal Golf Course." (SOUNDS LIKE ME)

CHURCH INSTRUCTION: A Sunday school teacher asked the children just before she dismissed them to go to church, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"Annie replied, "Because people are sleeping."

Stop by Sky Watch Friday  to view skies from all over the world.

  BIBLE LESSON: A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied: "They couldn't get a baby sitter."

There may be a lot of problems in the world today but at least Romans  aren’t throwing Christians to the lions.

I believe the world is God’s tapestry. The sky is His loom and the clouds,sun,rain,moon,and stars  are some of the threads He uses to weave his tapestry of Grace. (Joe Todd 2009)

FOUND SOMETHING NEW (at least new to me)

Michelle from Creative Treasures stopped by my Watery Wednesday post and made a comment. Naturally I stopped by her blog to view her post and leave a comment. Michelle is very creative and has a great blog. Well I noticed she was creating cards/pictures/photos using something called Digichick so I had to check it out.

AND:

I was able to download a free starter kit and with it design the above card. I really enjoy editing/creating pictures etc. on the computer so I now have a new tool to use. Thanks Michelle I will be looking forward to seeing more of your creations and photos of the Oregon coast on your blog   Joe Todd

A TOWN WITHOUT AN ALLEY is A TOWN WITHOUT A SOUL Joe Todd 2009

(A MY WORLD POST) Here in Lancaster Ohio we have a plethora of alleys and I’m glad. I have a blind alley behind my house and that is called a cul-de-sac. Chicago,Illinois has the largest network of alleys in the world,about 1,900 miles worth.

 

Those two houses are separated by an alley. Not only that they don’t face on a street they face on an alley.

For the most part the Alleys in Lancaster,Ohio are made of brick though some are grass. “ A Way To Go” is what “Alley” means in France.

Sometimes you will find white picket fences ,barns or garages in alleys.Just to add to the confusion here are some other terms for alley: snickets, ginnels,close, jennels,twitten,jigger,gulley,twichell,or  wynd and pend. I also like backyards.

Whether it be a street or an alley an Ohio winter is cold and snowy. So:::::

 The rooster was hanging out in an alley.
