Still Unpacking Surprises

I found some treasures while unpacking a box tonight.

This fork and spoon came from Assisi, Italy.

My friend and co-worker Theresa took a pilgrimage to Assisi this last May.

She brought a set of these back for all of us in the office. 

They are just beautiful and I had forgotten how much so, since I had to pack them up for the move.

True Italian pottery.

These are my pieces of polish pottery utensils.

They are so delicate and beautiful.

The history search

1.  North Clinton and Berry.

Mother George Marker

2.  Main St. at Clay.  The original well of Fort Wayne.  It is by the fire department.

3.  Edsall House on Main Street Across from Perfection Bakery.

This is a beautiful building.  The Home Buyers Association owns it and it is right behind the Edsall House Apartments coming to the stop light so I think it can be missed because there are so many things going on around it.

4. The Columbia Street Landing

5. Fort Miamis Marker just North of Main Street at the river behind the Fort Wayne Newspapers.

6.  Wabash and Erie Canal Groundbreaking Marker at Main and Growth Avenue.

7. Wayne Knitting Mills on Growth Avenue Also.

The brick road leading through it.

8.  The Bass Mansion on the University of Saint Francis.

Kevin and the Gargoyle.

We had to make a pit stop so we stopped at my Niece and Nephews house.

4 out of the 5 were bidding us farewell on to our next stop.

9.  Hardin's Defeat.  This is way out on Carroll Road off of State Road 3.  It was a beautiful day to drive the country.

The Grass is Greener

Here the beautiful morning sun is shining on our new grass.

It is coming along fine.

A little more rain would be good, but of course we are thankful for every little drop.
